Pricing every plan…
SmartEnergy sells 18 fixed-rate plans we can price, in 5 parts of the Texas choice market, with contracts of 3 to 24 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.
SmartEnergy doesn’t pay WattaWatt anything. We price its plans the same way as every other provider’s, from the Electricity Facts Label.
Price SmartEnergy's plans on your own 12 months
The tables below use three typical homes. Drop in a bill or type your 12 monthly kWh, and we’ll rank every SmartEnergy plan against every other plan sold where you live, by what you’d actually pay.
For each part of Texas SmartEnergy 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.

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.
Energy charge, base charge, credits and cancellation fee, as printed on each plan’s Electricity Facts Label, which is linked from every plan.

It depends on the plan and on how much you use. For a typical home using about 1,000 kWh a month, as of November 2026: In Dallas–Fort Worth, its cheapest plan for that home is SmartGreen 12 $200 Bill Credit, about $1,700 for the year (14.2¢ per kWh all-in), which ranks #78 of the 388 plans we track: $255 a year more than the cheapest plan there, True Value 12 from True Power. In Houston, its cheapest plan for that home is SmartGreen 12 $200 Bill Credit, about $1,670 for the year (13.9¢ per kWh all-in), which ranks #54 of the 218 plans we track: $249 a year more than the cheapest plan there, Octo Simple 12 from Octopus Energy. In Corpus Christi, Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley, its cheapest plan for that home is SmartGreen 12 $200 Bill Credit, about $1,525 for the year (12.7¢ per kWh all-in), which ranks #48 of the 205 plans we track: $199 a year more than the cheapest plan there, No Bull 12 from Energy Texas. The other 2 areas are on this page. Price SmartEnergy's plans on your own 12 months before choosing, because the order changes with the shape of your usage.
No. All 18 SmartEnergy plans we track are priced without a bill credit, so the advertised price holds up better across the year than a bill-credit plan's would. Delivery charges, a base charge if there is one, and tiers can still move the real price, which is why we price every plan on 12 months of usage.
SmartEnergy'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.
SmartEnergy sells plans in 5 parts of the Texas choice market: Dallas–Fort Worth (Oncor's delivery area, including Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington); Houston (CenterPoint Energy's delivery area, including Houston, Katy, Sugar Land); Corpus Christi, Laredo and the Rio Grande Valley (AEP Texas Central's delivery area, including Corpus Christi, Laredo, McAllen); Abilene and San Angelo (AEP Texas North's delivery area, including Abilene, San Angelo); League City, Texas City and other TNMP towns (TNMP's delivery area, including Lewisville, League City, Friendswood). The delivery utility, not the provider, owns the wires where you live, and every provider's plans in an area pay it the same delivery charge.
No. SmartEnergy doesn't pay us, and neither does any other provider. We track and price every plan the same way.
Every plan from every provider, priced the same way, for the cities in each area.
