You can start viewing your personalized pricing and comparing electricity rates in less than five minutes!
Benefits of utilizing your Smart Meter data to compare electricity rates
Your home’s Smart Meter records your electricity usage in real time, typically at 15-minute intervals. Then, it digitally sends that data to your utility [Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas or Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP)]. Smart Meter Texas™ (SMT) securely stores that data. When you authorize Everything Energy to access that historical data to help you shop and compare plans, you can view:
- Your lowest, highest and average monthly usage
- Your usage breakdown by weekend vs. weekday and night vs. daytime
- Personalized rates and monthly bill estimates from Texas electricity providers
- Plans that best suit your established usage habits
With all of this information, your search for some of the best electricity rates and providers for your unique needs will provide better-fitting results. For example, imagine your data shows that you use electricity a lot at night. You can select the “Weeknight Discount” filter to narrow your search down to plans that offer lower rates at night.
In short, by considering the big picture, you can make a more informed decision about your next electricity plan.
