Actually nvm. I found some good info on an older thread so feel free to delete this thread. I'll try Energy Ogre if that's a thing.

We quit energy ogre years ago after I realized that they weren't doing what they promised and then they were difficult to cancel. We switched to Thigbe and been happy.

I remember looking into Thigbe but everything mentioned from people on Texags was in Houston or Austin. Have you had a good experience? I signed a 5yr deal with a really good rate and that contract is on the backend.

Been using energy ogre for years with no complains. They've saved me tons, and it's almost completely hands off.


Oh, and here's a link if you want us both to save money.

This is what I've used for the past several years -- it gets into a little more detail than powertochoose if you have 12 months of monthly data.

https://www.texaspowerguide.com

Once you put in your data, it shows you the estimated costs of various plans, and then you pay at one-time $10 fee to unlock the provider info.

I use this one as well. Basically same thing as Energy Ogre except you have to do it yourself.

EO can work okay if they have history in the first instance. At least that is what I found. I also felt that they dropped the ball on the ongoing basis game. They claim to be constantly checking things, but I ended up with pretty damning evidence that they were not doing that on my account and eventually dropped them.

I actually used AI to help me analyze my usage and plan options this year after years of using powertochoose. Made me think that powertochoose is as much of a scam as anything else. Spending an hour or so working through it with AI had yielded me savings of about 30% so far. Mostly from staying away from the incentive based plans that powertochoose seems designed to route you into.

I dropped them when I caught them doing the same. I noticed that my plan was renewed 2x in a row and did some searching myself and found better rates.

I switched over to Evergreen power solutions.

Thought this might be interesting to the thread simply for context. We moved out of state and into a regulated market (NM) so there are no options other than the state option. This is what we pay:



Not sure what market in Texas is running at right now. Last time I looked it was 15c when >2000kwh

I ran that website just to check it out and was able to pretty easily cross reference with powertochoose. For my location at least it looked extremely similar between the two.

I've lived in regulated states and have never noticed any significant different in price, reliability, or service than in Texas. At least for me, the only difference with the deregulated system is having to go through the hassle of picking a new service every year or so. It isn't a huge deal, but it is a bit annoying.

Yeah, this is our first to live out of state so a lot of new learnings. I think this is going to end up being yet another bill that is cheaper than Texas.

What did it have you choose? Lowest fixed rate plan for 12 mos?
