Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Goldthwaite was founded in 1885 and named after Joseph Goldthwaite, a railroad official with the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway. The town was established as a railroad stop and quickly became the county seat of Mills County, serving as a vital shipping point for cotton, cattle, and grain from the surrounding agricultural region.

RECENT

In 2020, Goldthwaite completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Fisher Street, the main thoroughfare. The project included new sidewalks, period lighting, and facade improvements that have attracted new businesses and helped preserve the town's historic character while boosting local tourism.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter and performer Gary P. Nunn, famous for writing 'London Homesick Blues' (the theme song for Austin City Limits), was born and raised in Goldthwaite. His song became an unofficial anthem of Texas, and he often credits his small-town Mills County upbringing for inspiring his authentic Texas country sound.

DID YOU KNOW

Goldthwaite is home to one of Texas's most unusual geological features - a natural rock formation called 'Regency Bridge' that spans across a creek without any human construction. The limestone bridge was formed over thousands of years by water erosion and is strong enough to support vehicles, making it a popular local landmark and photography spot.

CULTURAL

Every September, Goldthwaite hosts the annual Mills County Fair, which has been running continuously since 1903, making it one of the oldest county fairs in Texas. The fair features traditional events like livestock shows, quilting contests, and a famous pie auction where homemade pies regularly sell for hundreds of dollars to support local youth programs.

How to find the best energy plan in Goldthwaite

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Knowing the amount of energy you will use in a month is the ideal way to find a deal on energy in Goldthwaite. Why is this so vital?

You see power companies advertising the "price per kWh" for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you use in the month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying an effective "price per kWh" different than what you saw when you ordered.

Thankfully, there's a better way to shop for an electricity company.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing plans by the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for you.

Better yet, if you have a year of usage history for your home, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter and is the best way to determine the right electricity rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in just moments.

We put you in the driver's seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and assisting you step-by-step with the electricity plan that's best for your household's consumption.

We clarify the fine print, disclosing the various charges, so you'll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.

We then help you sign up with your chosen power company without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you should understand your expected or historical usage before selecting the best energy plan for your home.

If you don't know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business or cannot obtain 12 months of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate the average energy you will use in any given month.

Although knowing the previous 12 months of usage is optimum, it is far better to estimate the average energy consumption than to select the first electricity provider that you see advertised. After all, you have no idea how much energy you will use at that point.

Use Compare Power to shop for the best electricity plan for yourspecific usage.

Moving to Goldthwaite: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Goldthwaite, to get the best rate, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.

Once you have historical usage, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home's usage pattern.

Note: If you cannot obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage using our "Help Me Choose" tool. By simply entering your zip code, the tool can assess your home's projected electricity consumption.

Sign-up for a plan in minutes through Compare Power. We will remind you when it's time to return to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching electricity companies in Goldthwaite

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower price every year when your contract is about to expire.

Your existing electricity company will normally raise your electricity rate once your contract expires. If you do not take action, you'll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing electricity companies.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

    When you switch, your new electricity company will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous provider.

    There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Goldthwaite is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

    The wires and poles that deliver power to your home do not change when you switch electricity providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

    You can choose any date within 14 days of your contract expiration date without an "early cancellation" fee. That's Texas Law.

    If you're still under contract, find out how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies up to 6o days in advance.

    And even if you're well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching providers may outweigh the fee to break your existing contract.

    If you're ready to switch and want to know how to find the best plan, remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the cheapest rate.

    Keep in mind that when you get ready to switch and you want to know the most efficient way to find the right plan at the best rate, it is essential that you first understand your usage. To accomplish that, you will need to collect the usage history for the past 12 months.
