The Texas electricity plan you pick is probably gamed

Every “cheapest” list — including the state's own Power to Choose — sorts by the average price at exactly 1,000 kWh. Retailers know that, so they bury bill credits and tiered rates that make that one number look great and quietly overcharge you at the usage you actually have. Enter your real usage and see what each plan truly costs.
