Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Pyote was established in 1881 as a railroad town along the Texas and Pacific Railway, serving as a crucial water stop for steam locomotives crossing the harsh West Texas desert. The town was named after a Comanche chief, and during its early years, it became known as the 'toughest town between Fort Worth and El Paso' due to its rowdy saloons and frequent gunfights among railroad workers and cowboys.

RECENT

In 2020, Pyote made headlines when it became one of the smallest incorporated cities in Texas to install a municipal broadband internet system. The city partnered with a regional provider to bring high-speed fiber internet to all 114 residents, making it a model for rural connectivity initiatives across the state.

OTHER

FAMOUS PEOPLE/EVENTS: During World War II, Pyote was home to the massive Pyote Army Air Field, which trained thousands of B-17 Flying Fortress and B-29 Superfortress bomber crews. The base was so large it temporarily made Pyote one of the most populated places in West Texas, with over 25,000 military personnel stationed there between 1942 and 1945.

DID YOU KNOW

Pyote holds the unusual distinction of being the smallest city in Texas to have its own post office, police department, and municipal court system all operating simultaneously. Despite having only 114 residents, the city maintains full municipal services because of a quirk in its 1920s incorporation documents that requires it to provide these services to maintain its city status.

CULTURAL

Every Labor Day weekend, Pyote hosts the 'Smallest Town Festival' which draws visitors from across Texas who come to experience what organizers call 'the most intimate small-town celebration in America.' The entire population participates in the festival, with every resident either organizing an event, cooking food, or performing entertainment, creating a unique community celebration where visitors literally meet every person who lives in the city.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Pyote

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Discovering the amount of electricity you will use monthly is the best way to shop for electricity in Pyote. Why is this important?

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

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly bill is determined, and your monthly bill will change according to how much electricity you consume each month.

Unless you use precisely the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying a "price per kWh" different than what you saw when you signed up.

Fortunately, there's a better way to shop for energy rates.

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

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 determine the right electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved in just seconds.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers and navigating you step-by-step to the energy rate plan that's best for your home's usage.

We clarify the fine print, 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 selected energy company without leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you must know your expected or historical usage before selecting 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 energy company at a specific usage that isn't what you'll consume.

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

Moving to Pyote: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Pyote, 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: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can't obtain a usage history. Utilize our "Help Me Choose" tool when you enter your zip code below, and we'll help you evaluate your home's usage.

Sign-up for a plan instantly through Compare Power. We will remind you when it's time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan term you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Pyote

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so it is essential to shop for a lower price every year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing energy company will typically raise your energy 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 energy companies.

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

Switching is easy:

  • You don't have to contact 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 switch, your new electricity provider will handle everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Pyote 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 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 cancellation" 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 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 would like to know how to find the best plan remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the best 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.
