November Research On Lowest Cost Residential Retail Electric Provider
< We have researched who has come out this month as being the lowest cost electric provider in Texas for residential service. Amigo Energy, Spark Energy, Startex Power, and Champion Energy are head to head in competition with each other as they offer rates that come pretty close to each other. As of February 2009 Startex Power has the cheapest electric rate. You can click here to learn more about Startex Power. Some of their energy rates are very good for Houston while not so good for another area like Dallas. The next provider might have a better electric rate in Dallas while not in Houston. Because the rates can differ by region it is important to check the rate by your zipcode. We have gone ahead and checked what the rates are by region and listed them below. These energy rates change about every 2 weeks so it is important to verify what is posted here by checking again to see if there may have been a market movement up or down.

Hi. I'm rather intrigued by your recommendations for residential electric…nowhere near the cheapest (Houston should be StarTex Promo MTM at 9.9cents), and nowhere near all the providers (where are YEP, Riverway, and Stream??) I publish an extensive weekly newsletter to the providers and find your analysis pretty superficial. However, I'd still be interested in talking with you about your view of the market. You can email me and set up a phone discussion sometime, though I'm out of town for a couple of days. I should be available early in the week beginning 12-10.
