Shopping for electric rates

[Forever_frost]

I'm stuck with Lamar County Coop. Can't change they have a monopoly here and it's annoying. 11.5 cents AND a 'cost recovery fee'

[ozzeran]

Unfortunately that is becoming the norm now with most places.

I was on Reliant before Amigo. Reliant pissed me off during my renew. They offered XX cents on the renewal contract but when I checked online, they had the same contract for 2-3 cents less. I asked if I could get that rate here's how it played out:
"No, that rate is for new customers."
"I'm an existing customer. Shouldn't I get the same deal or better? I've proved my responsibility (to pay) already."
"That's not how the plans work. I suggest you cancel and have your wife apply as a new customer to get that rate. You can't because you're in the system already. We do it all the time."
"Wah...wait? You falsify information to let existing customers come in as new customers for the better rate?? Why don't you just offer me the better rate!?!"
"Because you're not a new customer."


I ain't ever going back.

You're still protected by the PUC and the electricity is still delivered via Oncor. I wouldn't worry about them. The worst that could happen is they go out of business but in that case you will be automatically switched to the provider of last resort.

I did this and they went under....just got sold out to another provider who honored the price. the good news is because they sold out I had the right to cancel so found another company 2 cents cheaper and got to move before my contract was up. I've been using powertochoose for a few years with no problems.

So because they have a rule, and the representative was willing to help you through the loop hole, you hate them?

I have had them going on 2 years now and have had zero problems. I am very responsible w/ my bills and pay via online banking, but every now and then I forget to get a bill sent in by the exact date (usually 1-2 days late), so I automatically send in the late fee that they print on the bill "if received after this date XX/XX pay this - $XX.XX) well every time I have done that, they have automatically credited me that fee amount on my next bill. I was in the wrong, I am paying the fee and they are giving it back to me the following month...show me another provider that does that!

How long have you had it?

About 8 months. I've been comparing it side by side to my last years TXU statements.

I am about to start my 4th year with Amigo. I have not had one problem.

[TexasDevilDog]

I think with Tri-eagle we got 8.6 cents for 100% renewable.

[TexasDevilDog]

Powertochoose web site is slow updating. Trieagle 12 months 100% renewable is 9.0, but on their site it is 8.7.

I heard if you miss a payment, they jump on your hood.

[Hicompression]

Just got 7.5 cents per KWH with MEGA Energy.

[SVTNorthTexas]

Is there any company that doesn't have a monthly fee? I'm tired of paying $5 a month just to be a customer.
