Rates for electricity in the Houston area continue to fall, although not by much. According to the Power to Lose website, Kinetic Energy is at 12.0 cents per kWh for a 12 month plan. StarTex and Amigo is at 12.1. Reliant Energy is at an uncompetitive rate of 14 cents with TXU at 14.9 cents.
The highest rate is Brilliant Energy at a brilliant price of 18.9 cents.
Last month rates were not much cheaper. Kinetic Energy had an advertised rate of 11.89 cents, but that quickly changed. The rates are probably at their lowest for the year, so consider changing to a yearly plan. I've posted some suggestions here.
And by the way, the lowest rate of 12 cents by StarTex is 50% higher than rates pre-deregulation and twice as much as citizens in San Antonio are paying. Enjoy your deregulation.

We're "stuck with" Entergy as we can't be deregulated yet in the Republic of East Texas and are somewhere around .11$. Anytime the energy companies and Perry want to do me a "favor" by opening up my utility bill to "open competition", I'm more than a little suspect.
11 cents? Other regulated areas are 6-8 cents. But, your area is scheduled to be deregulated in 2009 and you can expect to screwed just like the rest of us.
You might want to contact your state rep and Senator. They finally realize what a disaster this has been and are trying to get a delay in deregulation.
