Pricing every plan…
Pricing every plan…
In the part of Texas that chooses, two companies are on every bill. The delivery utility (Oncor, CenterPoint and the others) owns the wires and meters, fixes outages and charges every home in its area the same delivery rate. The retail provider, the company on this page, buys the electricity and sets the price you pay for it. You choose the provider; the utility comes with the address.
A provider isn’t cheap or expensive on its own. Most sell a dozen plans or more, some of them bill-credit designs that look cheapest on paper and cost the most over a real year. Each page below prices every plan the provider sells, month by month, and shows where its best plan ranks among every plan in the area.
Price every plan on your own 12 months
The tables below use three typical homes. Your home isn’t typical. Drop in a bill from your Texas address, or type your 12 monthly kWh, and we’ll rank every plan by what you’d actually pay.
For a typical home using about 1,000 kWh a month, priced on a year with a real summer peak, with each area’s delivery charges included. Contracts of 12 months or longer only: a 3-month plan can undercut these, but it ends before the year does.
