Ranchero Power advertises 11.1¢ per kilowatt hour for No Contract Advantage. In August, when a Blue Ridge house is running its air conditioning hardest, that becomes a $249.47 bill. Across the year it averages 10.7¢, because Texas-New Mexico Power charges $0 to deliver it and the retailer’s own monthly charge does not care how much you use.
- Charges $12.67 every month before you use any electricity.
- The rate is variable, so this price is only what they charge this month.
- We could not read this plan’s fact label cleanly, so these numbers are reconstructed from its three published prices.
Questions people in Blue Ridge ask
- What is the cheapest electricity plan in Blue Ridge?
- At 1,500 kilowatt hours a month, the cheapest plan whose fact label we have read in full in Blue Ridge is SmartGreen 3 from SMARTENERGY HOLDINGS LLC, at $1,977.29 over twelve months — an average of $164.77 a month, or 11.0¢ per kilowatt hour once Texas-New Mexico Power delivery charges and everything in the fact label are counted. The outright cheapest in the full ranking (including estimated parses) is $160.67 a month.
- Is the plan with the lowest advertised rate the cheapest?
- The plan with the lowest advertised rate among the labels we have read in full in Blue Ridge is Simple Saver 3 from AP GAS & ELECTRIC (TX) LLC at 8.0¢, but priced properly it ranks 5 of 167 and costs $228.56 a year more than SmartGreen 3.
- How much does the choice actually matter in Blue Ridge?
- $1,681.92 a year between the cheapest and most expensive plan on the same usage. That is the same electricity, delivered by Texas-New Mexico Power down the same wires, metered by the same meter. The only thing that differs is the contract.
- Why is my bill higher than the advertised rate suggests?
- Three reasons, in order of size. Texas-New Mexico Power charges a fixed amount every month plus a rate per kilowatt hour to deliver electricity to your house, and that lands on your bill whichever retailer you pick. Many plans add their own monthly base charge on top. And plans that advertise a low rate often do it with a bill credit that only pays out above a usage threshold, so a mild month misses it entirely and the effective rate that month is far higher than advertised.
- Can I switch if I rent in Blue Ridge?
- Yes, as long as the electricity account is in your name, which it usually is for a house or a small building. Your landlord does not choose your retailer. Nothing physical changes when you switch — no engineer visit, no interruption — because Texas-New Mexico Power keeps delivering the electricity either way. Only the company billing you changes.
- Should I take a twelve-month contract or stay month to month?
- In Blue Ridge today the cheapest twelve-month plan works out to $191.97 a month and the cheapest month-to-month plan to $160.67. Month to month is cheaper right now, but that rate is variable and can be changed with a month's notice, which is exactly what happens to a lot of households after a hot summer.
