Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Greenville was founded in 1846 and named after Thomas J. Green, a general in the Texas Revolution and signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. The city became a major cotton trading center in the late 1800s, earning the nickname 'Cotton Capital of the World' when it was processing over 125,000 bales annually through its massive cotton compress facilities.

RECENT

In 2020, Greenville completed a $15 million downtown revitalization project that transformed the historic courthouse square into a vibrant entertainment district. The project included new restaurants, boutique shops, and event spaces, successfully attracting young professionals and families back to the city center after decades of suburban sprawl.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music legend Audie Murphy, America's most decorated World War II soldier, was born near Greenville in 1925. Murphy received every major U.S. military combat award for valor available during WWII, then became a Hollywood actor starring in 44 films, including his autobiographical 'To Hell and Back,' which was Universal Studios' biggest hit for 20 years.

DID YOU KNOW

Greenville was once home to the largest electric interurban railway system in Texas, with trains running every hour to Dallas starting in 1908. The Texas Electric Railway carried over 2 million passengers annually at its peak, and passengers could travel the 50 miles to Dallas in just 90 minutes for 85 cents, making it faster and cheaper than driving until the automobile boom of the 1920s ended the service.

CULTURAL

Greenville hosts the annual Splash Day festival every June, which began in 1989 as a quirky celebration of the city's public swimming pools but has evolved into one of East Texas's largest family festivals. The event features live music, food vendors, and the famous 'Rubber Duck Derby' where thousands of numbered rubber ducks race down Caddo Creek, with proceeds benefiting local charities and the winner receiving prizes up to $10,000.

How to find the best energy plan in Greenville

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Determining how much energy you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to shop for electricity in Greenville. Why is this so vital?

The rate you see power companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly statement is determined, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much power you use in the month.

Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective "price per kWh" different than the one you saw advertised when you ordered.

Fortunately, there's a better way to pick your energy provider.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on expected monthly usage, then comparing plans by total monthly cost is the best way to shop for the best rate for your home.

Better yet, if you have 12 months 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 months and is the best way to determine the right energy plan for your home.

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

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

We clarify the details, disclosing the various charges, so you'll know exactly where your money is going and what to anticipate on your monthly bill.

We then help you enroll with your chosen electricity provider without leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you must determine your expected or historical usage before choosing the best electricity plan for your home.

If you don't know your usage, estimate

If you recently purchased a home or business, or you cannot obtain 12 months of usage history, you can always estimate the average amount of energy that 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 Greenville: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Greenville, 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 instantly 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 Greenville

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

Your existing electricity provider will typically raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you fail to take action, you'll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing energy providers.

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

Switching is easy:

    When you decide to switch, your new electricity provider will handle everything, including terminating your previous company's service.

    There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Greenville 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 companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

    You can choose any date up to 14 days before your current contract's end date without an "early cancellation" fee. Texas law protects you here.

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

    The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

    If you're ready to switch and want to know how to find the best plan, remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

    You will want to gather your historical usage for the last 12 months to determine your household's best plan with the lowest rate.
