Three coal power plants have been shut down, driving Texas\u2019 power supply to its lowest levels in more than a decade. Commissioner Brandy Marty Marquez of the Public Utility Commission announced rates will climb significantly \u2013 but no one knows by how much or when.<\/p>\n
All it could take is a heatwave to send your rates spiraling out of control!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s simple supply and demand. We have a growing population, with fewer power plants, and also delays in completion of natural-gas and wind-generating projects, which means a lower supply with an increasing demand.<\/p>\n
The 3 coal power plants were shut down because they couldn\u2019t compete with lower-cost natural gas plants and wind farms.<\/p>\n
Regardless of What Happens, You Still Get the Same Cheapest Electricity Rates in Texas You Expect from Pronto Power!<\/strong><\/p>\n We\u2019ll be honest: our rates may climb a little too. We can\u2019t operate at a loss.<\/p>\n \u2026But, you still get the cheapest rates in Texas, just like you always expect from us.<\/p>\n And you won\u2019t have to pay any ridiculous hidden fees. You don\u2019t have a credit check. You don\u2019t pay connection or disconnection fees.<\/p>\n You simply prepay for your electricity as you can (daily, weekly, or even monthly) \u2013 and reap the savings!<\/p>\n Our customers save more than most Texans for this reason. And since you also get real-time electricity monitoring, which shows you exactly how much electricity you\u2019re using this instant via software, you can also discover which behaviors cost you the most electricity (and then you can change to energy-saving behavior).<\/p>\n Many of our customers do this to boost their savings even further.<\/p>\n
