In 2002, electricity deregulation came into effect across most of Texas. As a result, many Texans (including Georgetown residents) have the power to choose where they buy their electricity. When you live in a deregulated city, you’re free to shop around until you find the best provider and plan for your needs.

Choose Texas Power is not affiliated with Power to Choose, powertochoose.org, or the PUCT.

Thanks to deregulation, many Georgetown electricity providers offer affordable rates and customer-friendly plans. Here are some of today’s cheapest electric companies in the city.

• Frontier Utilities: Based in Houston, this energy provider sells several fixed-rate plans in Georgetown, with contracts ranging from 12 to 36 months on our marketplace.
• Gexa Energy: With Gexa Energy, you can choose from more than a dozen 100% renewable plans and enjoy a 60-day satisfaction guarantee.
• 4Change Energy: Known for its cheap electricity rates, 4Change Energy offers a handful of 100% green energy and fixed-rate plans with bill credit incentives when you use a certain amount of power.
• Express Energy: This top-rated electric company also sells a variety of fixed-rate plans, including some that use 100% Texas wind energy.
• Discount Power: Headquartered in Houston, Discount Power is an affordable provider that offers bill credits and waived usage charges on several fixed-rate plans.

In addition to your energy provider, you’ll have a utility company delivering electricity to your home and responding to power outages. However, unlike your electricity company, you can’t choose your utility. Instead, these companies are determined by your address — and in Georgetown, the local utility company is Oncor Electric Delivery.

Before browsing electricity plans in Georgetown, it’s a good idea to get acquainted with a few common terms and concepts. Here’s what to know before picking a plan.

• Fixed vs. variable rates: When you choose a fixed-rate plan, you’ll pay the same price per kWh for your entire contract. However, the rate on a variable-rate plan can increase or decrease based on fluctuations in the wholesale energy market. Fixed-rate plans allow stability, while variable-rate options provide flexibility.
• Plan length: Fixed-rate plans come in several term lengths, often ranging from six to 36 months. Georgetown electricity providers usually charge an early termination fee (ETF) if you end a fixed-rate plan while still under contract.
• Same-day energy deadlines: Need electricity ASAP? Many energy companies in Georgetown offer same-day service as long as you sign up by a certain time of day. For more information about same-day electricity connections, call us at the phone number on your screen.
• Renewable energy options: You’ll find numerous green energy plans in Georgetown, thanks to Texas’s heavy investment in renewable energy (including wind and solar power). If you sign up for one of these plans, your provider usually purchases renewable energy certificates (RECs) to offset your electricity consumption.
• Electricity Facts Label (EFL): All Texas energy plans include an EFL, which you should review before signing up. In the EFL, you’ll find key information about the plan, such as the electricity rate, contract term, and fees.
• Your usage needs: Electricity plans typically have different usage tiers (for example, 1,000 kWh to 1,999 kWh), and the rates can vary depending on which tier you fall into. It’s helpful to understand your typical usage before shopping for plans.
