Electricity Providers

There are 40+ licensed retail electricity providers (REPs) in Texas. We currently track 39 providers with 556+ active plans on this page. The number of providers available to you depends on your TDU territory — most ZIP codes have access to at least 20 providers.

Rates change frequently as providers adjust pricing. Right now the lowest rate we're tracking is 5.2¢/kWh. Click into any provider page to see their full plan lineup across all TDU territories, sorted from cheapest to most expensive.

Start by comparing rates at your usage level — most households use around 1,000 kWh per month. Then look beyond the headline rate: check contract length, early termination fees, and renewable energy content. Providers with more plans tend to offer better flexibility.

Yes. Switching providers does not cause any service interruption. Your local TDU continues delivering electricity regardless of which provider you choose. The switch typically completes within 1–3 business days, and your new provider handles the entire process.

Several providers on this page offer plans backed by 100% renewable energy, including Chariot Energy, Green Mountain Energy, Rhythm Energy, and others. Look for the "100% Green" tag on individual plan listings. Check the EFL to confirm the renewable energy percentage.

Each TDU (Transmission and Distribution Utility) charges different delivery fees that are passed through to your bill. So the same plan from the same provider can cost several cents more or less per kWh depending on whether you're in Oncor (Dallas–Fort Worth), CenterPoint (Houston), AEP Texas, or TNMP territory.
