Choice in Texas means consumers could be paying much more than they need to on electricity.
Houston, Texas (PRWEB) June 11, 2009 -- As the weather heats up in Texas, electricity bills could more than double this summer, according to online electricity comparison
shopping site ElectricityTexas.com. If you don't have the best possible
rate, you could be throwing away hundreds of dollars. "People would be
shocked to know that they may be paying significantly more than their
neighbors for the same electricity," said ElectrictyTexas.com's Chip
Smith. "Shopping for better electricity rates has never been easier and
the best time to lock down low rates is now, before summer temperatures
soar in Texas. To help Texans save money on electricity this summer,
ElectricityTexas.com has partnered with the biggest brand name
providers to develop new low rate, limited time offers."
Green Mountain Energy now offers through ElectricityTexas.com

every month from April to August, from $156 to $305 by the end of the
