The Choose Texas Power marketplace streamlines your energy shopping experience, and allows you to compare plans and prices from multiple providers all in one convenient place. Here’s how to get started:
The best electricity plan for you depends on your individual needs. Start by understanding your electric bill to determine how much energy your home consumes monthly. Next, find a plan that matches your energy usage. Our filtering tools can help narrow your search, allowing you to save time and money on your new energy plan.
Rates change often in Texas’ deregulated energy market, and multiple providers could offer the same electricity rate. Currently, the lowest electricity plans across Texas come from Gexa Energy, 4Chage Energy, and Frontier Utilities. Enter your ZIP code on this page to discover the lowest rate for your area.
You can switch electricity providers in Texas anytime, but it may cost you an early termination fee (ETF) if you have a fixed-rate plan. Learn how much you may have to pay by reviewing your Electricity Facts Label (EFL). You will not incur a charge if you move outside your current provider’s service area.
Over 100 electricity providers compete for your business in Texas. Choose Texas Power works with some of the best energy providers in Texas to help connect you with quality service. Not every provider operates in all parts of the state, so it’s important to use your ZIP code to find accurate plans and pricing near you.
