After a long research on electric utilities, I settled for NEC Coop. Any other provider better?

I’d caution against variable rates. The Texas grid can be highly volatile and you could be stuck with sky high prices.

I just joined Octopus Energy and I get a very good low rate for enrolling my Nest thermostat into their Intelligent Octopus program

A coop structure does not insulate them or you from electricity market price volatility risk. That’s good the last freeze didn’t impact their customers, but variable rates are still inherently risky and there’s always a chance customers get stuck with the bill.

Choose your own adventure!

have had NEC for 3 years no issues

It is variable fee but doesn’t appear to have all gimmicks.

Also if any one wants a referral please DM. $60 off first bill.

Ironhorse is the shit.

I have reliant and I negotiate my rates frequently. It also depends on what your base rate, delivery charge, and per KWH rate

Just like you negotiate a job, have leverage and competing rates. They do have levers they can pull. But be willing to walk away.

My rate is 0.09c per kWh

I’m relocating to the US from an international rotation to work in Galveston. I have never been to Texas and I am trying to find the best spot for my family to live in. So far from reading online it sounds like Pearland is a good option but I have not been able to validate that/ figure out what other options are out there. I would appreciate all advice:
1. Would you recommend living in Pearland?
2. What are other good areas to live in? Safe and would like to be less than 1 hour from Galveston.
