HISTORICAL

Knox City was founded in 1886 when the Wichita Valley Railway extended its line through the area, creating a vital shipping point for cotton and cattle in the Texas Rolling Plains. The town was named after Fort Knox in Kentucky, reflecting the military heritage of many early settlers who were Civil War veterans seeking new opportunities in West Texas.

RECENT

In 2020, Knox City completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and added new LED streetlighting throughout the business district. The project also included the installation of a new water tower featuring the city's logo, which has become a landmark visible for miles across the flat prairie landscape.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Knox City was the childhood home of legendary Texas high school football coach Gordon Wood, who won more state championships than any other coach in Texas history with 25 titles. Wood's innovative coaching methods and motivational techniques influenced generations of coaches across the state, and he's still remembered as one of the most successful high school football coaches in American history.

DID YOU KNOW

Knox City is home to one of the last remaining original Sinclair dinosaur statues from the 1960s, a 20-foot-tall green brontosaurus that stands guard at the local gas station. The fiberglass dinosaur was part of Sinclair's national advertising campaign and is now one of fewer than a dozen originals still standing in their original locations across America.

CULTURAL

Every September, Knox City hosts the annual Seedless Cotton Festival, celebrating the town's agricultural heritage and its role in developing seedless cotton varieties in the early 1900s. The festival features a unique cotton module decorating contest where local farmers and businesses create elaborate displays using actual cotton modules, turning agricultural equipment into temporary works of art that line the main street.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Knox City

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Discovering how much energy you will consume monthly is the best way to shop for electricity in Knox City. Why is this important?

The "price per kWh" you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you consume each month.

Unless you match the advertised usage each month, you will pay a "price per kWh" different than what you saw when enrolled.

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

Calculating your total monthly bill based on anticipated monthly usage, then comparing rates by total monthly cost is the best way to shop for the best rate for your household.

Even better, 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 months and is the ideal way to discover the right energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you instantly. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in a few moments.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and guiding you to the best electricity rate plan for your home's consumption.

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

We then help you enroll with your chosen energy provider without ever leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you should understand your expected or historical usage before picking the best electricity 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 your average energy in any given month.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly choosing the first plan you see advertised by an electricity provider at a specific usage that isn't what you'll consume.

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

Moving to Knox City: Setting up Electricity

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

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 will be able to assess your home's projected electricity consumption.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when it's time to renew your existing plan or possibly switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Knox City

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so shopping for a lower rate yearly when your contract expires is vital.

Your existing energy company will generally raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you do not act, 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 energy providers.

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

Switching is easy:

  • You don't have to contact your current provider to cancel (no "break-up call")
  • No one comes to your home
  • There is no disruption in your electricity supply
  • It takes just minutes

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

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

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

You can pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an "early termination" 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.

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 would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

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 must collect the usage history for the past 12 months.
