Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Lockett was established in 1886 as a railroad town along the Fort Worth and Denver Railway line. The tiny community was named after a local rancher and served as a shipping point for cattle and cotton from the surrounding Red River Valley ranches during the late 1800s cattle boom.

RECENT

In 2020, Lockett made headlines when the U.S. Census recorded its population at just 19 residents, making it one of the smallest incorporated communities in Texas. Despite its tiny size, the community has maintained its post office and continues to appear on official state maps as a recognized place.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

While Lockett itself hasn't produced major celebrities, it sits in the heart of ranch country that was once part of the massive Waggoner Ranch, one of the largest ranches in American history. The ranch was frequented by oil barons and cattle kings who shaped Texas's early economy in the early 1900s.

DID YOU KNOW

Lockett is so small that it doesn't have a single business establishment, yet it maintains its own ZIP code (76240) and post office. The community covers less than one square mile but serves as a mailing address for several large ranches in the area, making it one of the most rural ZIP codes in Texas.

CULTURAL

Lockett represents the quintessential ghost town that refuses to disappear, embodying the stubborn persistence of rural Texas communities. The remaining residents are primarily ranching families whose properties have been in their families for generations, maintaining a way of life that has remained largely unchanged since the early 1900s.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Lockett

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Knowing how much energy you will consume monthly is the best way to shop for energy in Lockett. Why should you care?

The "price per kWh" you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different equation 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 the one you saw advertised when you enrolled.

Fortunately, there's a better way to select your electricity company.

Calculating your expected 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 home.

Better still, if you have a year of usage history for your household, 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 discover 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 done 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 navigating you step-by-step to 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 bill.

We then help you order your plan with your chosen energy company without ever leaving our service.

The bottom line is you must know your expected or historical usage before ordering the right electricity plan for your home.

If you don't know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire 12 months of historical usage or own a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average month.

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

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

Moving to Lockett: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Lockett, 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.

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 Lockett

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower price each year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing energy provider will normally raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you do not act, 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 electricity companies.

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

Switching is easy:

  • You don't have to call your current company 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 handle everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

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

You can choose any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an "early cancellation" penalty. 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 providers 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 would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the cheapest rate.

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