Tips for finding cheap electricity rates in Pearland
In Texas, energy is deregulated. That means providers get clever with how they present rates to customers to try to show the lowest rate. You can shop with free sites like Texas Electric Rates to find the best rates and learn more about offers.
Our shopping tips:
- Shop for a fixed-rate plan: In most cases, fixed-rate plans are the best option for customers. Fixed-rate plans offer stability because your rate doesn’t change during the contract.
- Consider switching in late fall: Late fall is usually moderate in Pearland, which can lead to lower electricity rates.
- Check the plan details: Before signing up, read the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to understand the price per kWh, renewable energy percentage, and early termination fees.

Your electricity rate breakdown
Ready to compare electric plans in Pearland? Before you start shopping, make sure you’re familiar with the following energy terms. If you have any questions, give our experts a call at the number on your screen.
What you need to know:
- Usage amount: This is how much energy you use, measured in kWh. Plans often have different rates depending on how much your usage is.
- Rate: This is the price your Pearland electricity provider charges for power. It includes a flat fee (known as the base charge) and a fluctuating cost that depends on your monthly electricity usage (known as the energy charge).
- Delivery charge: This is a fee charged by your utility company for transmitting power to your home. Like your rate, it consists of two elements: a flat base charge and a per-kWh usage charge.
- Bill credit: Some electric companies in Pearland will give you a bill credit — or a deduction on your next energy bill — if you use a certain amount of power in a billing cycle. For example, if you sign up for Discount Power’s Bill Credit Bundle 12 or Bill Credit Bundle 24 plan, you’ll score a $125 bill credit whenever you consume over 1,000 kWh.
- Early termination fee: An ETF applies if you cancel a fixed-rate plan while still under contract. It may be charged as a flat fee or a certain amount per month left on your contract.
- Deposit: Many electricity providers will check your credit history during the sign-up process. If your score isn’t up to their standards, you’ll typically need to pay a deposit on your plan. The deposit provides some financial protection to the power company in case you stop paying your bill. If you can’t afford a deposit, consider signing up for a no-deposit plan, such as a prepaid plan.
