What these plans really cost at your usage
Texas's cheapest-looking plans only win if you use almost exactly 1,000 kWhevery month — which real households don't.
That low headline rate comes from a bill creditthat lands only at 1,000 kWh. We'll be straight: at exactly 1,000 kWh the bill-credit plan really is cheaper. But a real La Marquehome swings between months — a mild spring (500 kWh) and a summer of AC (2,000 kWh) — and at those usages the "cheap" plan costs more than our honest flat-rate pick. See for yourself across three real usage levels.
Tara Energy
Sustainable Home Bundle - 6 · 6-month fixed
13.3¢/kWh
Roughly the same at any usage — no 1,000-kWh trick.
Budget Power
Prime 12
8.6¢/kWhonly at exactly 1,000 kWh
Its real per-kWh rate swings with usage (below).
| Monthly usage | Honest pick (¢/kWh · bill) | Bill-credit plan (¢/kWh · bill) |
|---|---|---|
| 500 kWh (light) | 14.5¢ · $73 | 21.9¢ · $110 |
| 1,000 kWh (exact target) | 13.3¢ · $133 | 8.6¢ · $86 |
| 2,000 kWh (heavy / summer AC) | 12.7¢ · $254 | 14.5¢ · $290 |
The honest read: the bill-credit plan is only the cheapest if you land almost exactly on 1,000 kWh every month. A typical La Marque household closer to 1,000 kWh pays about $133 on our flat pick versus roughly $219on the bill-credit plan once its credit doesn't apply. We rank the plan that's actually cheapest for real usage — not the lowest headline number.

Setting up electricity in La Marque
Two utilities serve La Marque. La Marque sits on the boundary between Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) and CenterPoint Energy, and which one delivers your power depends on your exact address — it can vary street by street. The rates on this page are for Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP), which serves most of La Marque. Enter your ZIP and address in the comparison tool to confirm which utility serves you before you switch.
Moving to La Marque or switching providers? The mechanics are simple. Texas-New Mexico Power delivers your electricity over the same poles and wires no matter which retail provider you pick — so choosing or changing a plan never means a service interruption, a technician visit, or new equipment. You sign up with a provider, and the switch completes within one to two billing cycles.
To enroll you'll need your service address and, if you're already a customer, a recent bill (it lists your Texas-New Mexico Power account number and meter — handy but not always required). New to the address? You can usually start service for a future move-in date.

Frequently asked questions
- Who has the cheapest electricity rate in La Marque?
- The cheapest clean, fixed-rate plan (3+ months) in La Marque is currently 13.30¢/kWh — that's the honest headline we rank on. But the truly "cheapest" plan depends on your usage: many La Marque plans advertise a lower number using bill credits that only apply around 1,000 kWh a month, so they aren't actually cheapest if your home uses more or less. That's why we re-rank every plan by what you'd really pay at your usage level instead of the teaser rate.
