Electric Company

Who do you have as a electric company provider and how much are you paying, I have "stream" and will need to get in a 18 month contract to get 8.9kwh. Any one have a better deal?

Energy ogre and forget about your electricity.I pay 5.9 cents and $10 mo to them. My bill has been cut in half.

powertochoose.org is the place to go if you are just shopping based on price. The site belongs to the Public Utilities Commission of Texas, so don't worry about it being some sort of scam.

I have seen a number of people here post about energy ogre (as above), and it looks promising. I might try it if I didn't get electric from my employer at 5.3 cents per kWh.

One more for energy ogre. I don't have an exact savings because we moved houses and signed up during the move, but our bills at this bigger house are less than our old bills for the same months. We'll see how it stacks up once this cold front moves out a little.

Another vote for Energy Ogre. Let them do the work for you. I haven't done the math to know exactly how much I'm saving, but my first month with them I saved more than enough to pay for Energy Ogre's fee for the entire year.

Beenfetched also uses energy Ogre, and he posted a pic of his bill the other day. They've got him on a contract that is $0.02/kWh, which is unheard of.

Be careful here. Companies can/will say .00x per/kw then add their fees. I'm in the business and see it all the time. Power to choose, be ready to read and do the math!

Send me a pm and I'll send you a quote.

COOP here, so I pays what I pays. Think it is about .13 per kwh.

Not bad for coop

You guys that use energy ogre, do y'all get 2 bills a month? One from energy ogre, and the other from who ever they pick your service from? Do they break contracts to get you the best rate?

You can pay them monthly or pay for the year. It's $10/mo for the EO service. I paid for it up front.

They will break contracts when it makes sense to do so, but the general idea is they sign you up for short term contracts to take advantage of the fluctuating rates. And sometimes they sign you up for places that have a lot of extra fees, but only when your total bill would be cheaper to do it that way. To me, not having to deal with it myself is worth the $10/mo. But I'm also saving well over $100/mo during the summer, etc.

[Darren M]

Now I'm very curious. I wonder how much, if any, money is left on the table with ogre. Anyone willing to participate in a little experiment? If so, post up you zip code, most recent bill (minus taxes) and your kw used. I'll do the math and compare.
