Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Throckmorton was founded in 1879 and named after Dr. William Throckmorton, an early Texas pioneer and the first civilian governor of Texas after the Civil War. The town was established as the county seat when Throckmorton County was organized, and it quickly became a center for cattle ranching and farming in the rolling plains of North Central Texas.

RECENT

In 2018, Throckmorton made headlines when it became one of the smallest towns in Texas to implement a comprehensive downtown revitalization program funded by state rural development grants. The project restored several historic buildings along Main Street and created new community gathering spaces, helping to preserve the town's frontier-era architecture for future generations.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Throckmorton was the childhood home of legendary Texas Ranger Captain Bill McDonald, who served from 1891 to 1907 and was famous for his motto 'No man in the wrong can stand up against a fellow that's in the right and keeps on a-comin'.' McDonald became one of the most celebrated lawmen in Texas history and was instrumental in bringing order to the oil boomtowns of East Texas.

DID YOU KNOW

Throckmorton County is home to one of the most unusual geological formations in Texas - the 'Throckmorton Sand Hills,' which are actually ancient sand dunes that were formed over 10,000 years ago during the last ice age. These landlocked dunes, located miles from any ocean or large body of water, create a desert-like landscape that seems completely out of place in the Texas prairie and support unique plant species found nowhere else in the region.

CULTURAL

Every September, Throckmorton hosts the annual 'Throckmorton County Fair and Rodeo,' which has been held continuously since 1923, making it one of the oldest county fairs in Texas. The event features traditional ranch competitions like team roping and bull riding, but also includes unique contests like 'husband calling' and 'ugliest dog,' reflecting the community's blend of serious ranching heritage and good-natured frontier humor.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Throckmorton

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing how much energy you will use in a month is the best way to find a deal on energy in Throckmorton. Why is this important?

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

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

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

Fortunately, there's a better way to pick your electricity plan.

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

Better still, 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 find the perfect electricity plan for your home.

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

We put you in the driver's seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers, and assist you step-by-step with the energy plan that's best for your home's usage.

We clarify the fine print, 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 enroll with your selected energy company without ever leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you should understand your expected or historical usage before picking the right energy 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 usage history. In that case, you can always estimate your average monthly energy usage.

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 Throckmorton: Setting up Electricity

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

Switching Electricity Companies in Throckmorton

Switching is good. Market conditions constantly change, so you must shop for a lower price each year when your contract expires.

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

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy 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 electricity supply
  • It takes just minutes

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

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Throckmorton 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 up to 14 days before your contract's end date 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 providers up to 6o days in advance.

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

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 best rate.

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.
