Yes. 21 of the 70 Energy Texas plans we track are bill-credit plans: a high energy rate with a fixed credit, often $100 or more, in any month your usage lands in a range such as 1,000 kWh or more. They advertise the lowest prices because the advertised price is measured at exactly 1,000 kWh, where the credit applies. Over a real year with low spring and autumn months, many of them cost more than a plain flat-rate plan. We price every month, so the credit only counts in the months that earn it.

Energy Texas's fixed-rate plans charge $0.00 to leave before the contract ends, and some charge $20.00 for every month left in the contract. The exact fee is on each plan's Electricity Facts Label, linked from every plan on this page. Under Texas rules you owe no fee if you switch in the last 14 days of a fixed-term contract, or if you move and give the provider proof of the move.
