Pricing every plan…
Base Power sells 1 fixed-rate plan we can price, in one part of the Texas choice market, with contracts of 12 months. None of them use a bill credit, so their advertised prices hold up better over a year than a bill-credit plan’s would. Delivery charges and any base charge still move the real price, so every table below prices month by month.
Base Power doesn’t pay WattaWatt anything. We price its plans the same way as every other provider’s, from the Electricity Facts Label.

The tables below use three typical homes. Drop in a bill or type your 12 monthly kWh, and we’ll rank every Base Power plan against every other plan sold where you live, by what you’d actually pay.
For each part of Texas Base Power sells in, its cheapest plan for a small, a typical and a large home, priced month by month on a year with a real summer peak, and where that plan lands among every 12-month-or-longer plan we track there. Contracts shorter than a year are priced too, but ranked apart: they end mid-year, often at the summer peak, and nothing says what the next months cost.

Every plan in Dallas–Fort Worth, ranked · What counts as a good rate
Estimates, as of November 2026. We simulate 12 monthly bills for each of the 483 plans we track from 47 providers, using each plan’s Electricity Facts Label and Oncor’s published delivery charges, on the three usage profiles above. Taxes and fees that aren’t on the EFL are left out, so real bills run a little higher for every plan alike. Listed but not ranked: 35 time-of-use plans ("free nights" and the like), priced by the time of day or week, which a monthly bill doesn't show; and 30 variable-rate plans, with a price that can change every month, so a year ahead can't be priced from today's rate. They’re on Plans we track with their labels. Prices change; check the EFL before enrolling.
