How My Power Negotiator Helped Houston Residents Join Forces to Negotiate an Electricity Rate of Just 5.7¢/kWh

Since launching My Power Negotiator, we’ve been helping Texas electricity customers do something most people never think to try:

negotiate their electricity rate.

It started with smaller groups.

We brought together customers in the same area, looked at their usage and renewal timing, and approached electricity providers as a group rather than as individual households.

In several cases, that helped us secure better rates than customers were finding on their own.

Then word started getting around.

More people wanted to join.

In Houston, that momentum grew into a group of more than 100 residents looking for a better electricity deal together.

And with a larger group came stronger buying power.

The result was a negotiated energy rate of 5.7¢/kWh from an electricity provider.

From Small Groups to Bigger Buying Power

Electricity shopping usually puts the customer in a passive position.

You see the available plans. You pick one. You accept the rate.

We wanted to change that.

When customers in the same market come together, the conversation with providers changes too.

Instead of asking for a better deal for one household, we are bringing a group of customers who may be ready to switch.

That gives providers a reason to compete harder.

And that is exactly what started happening as more Houston residents joined.

“I Didn’t Realize We Could Actually Negotiate.”

Sam, one of the Houston customers who joined the group, said:

“I always thought you just picked the best electricity rate you could find online. I didn’t realize a group of us could actually negotiate something better.”

That reaction is common.

Texas has plenty of electricity plans, but most customers still shop alone.

Collective buying changes that dynamic.

No Fee. No Obligation.

There was another reason more people were comfortable joining.

There was no fee to participate and no obligation to accept the negotiated offer.

If the rate worked for the customer, they could move forward.

If it didn’t, they could walk away.

Now We’re Hearing From Customers Across Texas

Since the Houston group came together, we’ve started receiving requests from customers across Texas who want access to negotiated electricity rates in their area.

That is exactly where collective buying becomes more powerful.

The more customers who come together in the same market, the stronger the negotiating position can become.
