Electricity Plans

ElectricChoice compares electricity plans in Texas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut, and New Hampshire. Texas has the most competitive market with over 60 retail electric providers. In deregulated states, you choose your electricity supplier while the local utility continues to deliver power and handle outages.

Compare plans by looking at the rate per kWh at your actual usage level, the contract term length, early termination fees, whether the plan uses bill credits, and the renewable energy percentage. A plan advertising 6¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh may cost 19¢/kWh at 500 kWh if it relies on a bill credit. Always check the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) at multiple usage tiers.

Your ZIP code determines which transmission and distribution utility (TDU) serves your address. Each TDU charges different regulated delivery fees that are bundled into your plan's advertised rate. The same plan from the same provider can cost several cents more or less per kWh depending on whether you're in Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, or TNMP territory.

As of October 7, 2026 at 1:17 PM CDT, ElectricChoice lists 1,428 residential electricity plans from 106 providers across 8 deregulated states. Plans include fixed-rate, variable-rate, prepaid, and 100% renewable options. Rates start at 5.2¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh monthly usage.

Electricity plan rates on ElectricChoice are updated multiple times daily directly from provider filings. Providers can change their rates at any time, so the prices shown here reflect current market pricing.

The rate shown at 1,000 kWh is the average cost per kilowatt-hour when you use exactly 1,000 kWh in a month. It includes the energy charge, delivery charges, and any base fees spread across that usage. Plans with bill credits often show a very low rate at 1,000 kWh but a much higher rate at 500 kWh. Use the usage filter to compare plans at the level closest to your actual monthly usage.

No. ElectricChoice is an independent comparison marketplace. We are not a retail electricity provider and we do not sell electricity. We list plans from licensed providers and sort them by rate. When you enroll with a provider through our site, the provider may pay us a referral fee — but this does not affect plan pricing or sort order.
