Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Needville was founded in 1891 when German immigrant August Schendel established a general store at the crossroads of two major cattle trails. The town got its unusual name because Schendel would tell travelers 'you need-ville' (need-will) when they asked what supplies were available, and the phrase stuck as the community's official name when the post office was established.

RECENT

In 2020, Needville completed construction of a new $45 million high school campus that features state-of-the-art agricultural facilities including a veterinary science lab and show barn. The investment reflects the community's commitment to maintaining its agricultural heritage while preparing students for modern careers in agribusiness and veterinary medicine.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star Clay Walker was born and raised in Beaumont but spent significant time in Needville during his youth, often performing at local venues before hitting it big with hits like 'What's It to You' and 'Live Until I Die.' The town also produced NFL player Quentin Coryatt, who played linebacker for the Indianapolis Colts and Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s.

DID YOU KNOW

Needville is home to one of Texas's most unusual high school mascots - the Blue Jays - but the school's original mascot was actually the 'Needville Nuts' in honor of the area's pecan groves. The name was changed in the 1940s after complaints from visiting teams and parents, though many longtime residents still fondly remember the original nutty mascot and its accompanying cheer routines.

CULTURAL

Every October, Needville hosts the annual Harvest Festival that features the state's only competitive hay bale rolling contest, where teams race to roll 500-pound hay bales through an obstacle course. The event draws participants from across Texas and has become so popular that it's now sanctioned by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service as an official demonstration of modern farming techniques.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Needville

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Determining how much energy you will use in a month is the best way to shop for power in Needville. Why should you care?

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

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will change according to how much electricity you consume in a month.

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will pay a "price per kWh" different than what you observed when enrolled.

Fortunately, there's a better way to choose your energy rate.

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

Even better, 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 absolute best way to discover your home's ideal energy rate plan.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is now done in a few seconds.

We put you in the driver's seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans, and navigate you step-by-step to the energy plan that's best for your household's usage.

We clarify the details, 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 must understand your expected or historical usage before selecting the right energy 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.

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 your specific usage.

Moving to Needville: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Needville, 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 will be able to 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 come back to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Needville

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

Your existing electricity provider will typically 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, check the rates of competing electricity providers.

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 provider to cancel (no "break-up call")
  • No one comes to your home
  • There is no disruption in your power supply
  • It takes just minutes

When you switch, your new energy company will handle everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Needville 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 up to 14 days before your contract ends without an "early termination" penalty. 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.

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

If you're ready to switch and would like to know how to find the best plan remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the best 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.
