Texas Energy Plan Comparison Shopping Tool

New web developer here about 4 weeks into learning JavaScript and I decided to challenge myself to automate a process I dread every year - shopping for new electricity plans.<p>I&#x27;ve always been underwhelmed with the popular tool powertochoose.org (created by the Texas Energy Commission) since it assumes 1000kWh of use every month. I always ended up grabbing a dozen seemingly-low-cost plans and doing some spreadsheet work to come up with the best option based off my previous year of usage. That is exactly what I decided to build into TexasElectricity.io, except it runs through every plan available in your zip code.<p>I am still working on the site. Next up is a filter for plan term lengths and renewable energy. Please give it a try and let me know what you think. The tool is open source, free, and ad-free.
