Texas Electricity Plans in September 2026
As of September 16, 2026 at 10:52 AM CDT, there are 1,020 residential electricity plans available from 41 retail electricity providers in Texas. The cheapest plan starts at 5.9¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh monthly usage.
Texas deregulated its electricity market in 2002 under Senate Bill 7, giving residential customers in most areas the power to choose their retail electricity provider. Most of the state is served by ERCOT, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. In deregulated areas, customers can shop among dozens of competitive providers for fixed-rate, variable-rate, prepaid, and renewable energy plans.
Texas electricity rates are influenced by seasonal demand, natural gas prices, and grid conditions. Summer months typically see higher rates due to air conditioning demand, while shoulder months (spring and fall) often offer the best rates. When comparing Texas plans, pay close attention to the rate at 500 kWh usage — plans with bill credits can advertise low rates at 1,000 kWh that don't apply to smaller households.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does electricity deregulation work in Texas?
Texas deregulated its electricity market in 2002, allowing residential and commercial customers in most areas to choose their retail electricity provider. The local utility (like Oncor, CenterPoint, or AEP) still delivers the electricity through the same power lines, but you pick who you buy your energy from and what plan you're on.
What areas of Texas have deregulated electricity?
Most of the state served by ERCOT has deregulated electricity, including Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, and most of the I-35 corridor. Areas NOT deregulated include Austin (Austin Energy), San Antonio (CPS Energy), and most rural electric cooperatives.
What is the cheapest electricity plan in Texas right now?
The cheapest Texas electricity plan changes daily as providers adjust rates. Check this page for the latest rates, sorted from lowest to highest at 1,000 kWh usage. Be sure to compare rates at your actual usage level, as bill-credit plans may advertise low rates that only apply at specific usage thresholds.
How do I switch electricity providers in Texas?
Switching is simple: choose a new plan, sign up online, and your new provider handles the rest. There's no service interruption — your electricity stays on the entire time. The switch typically takes 1–3 business days. If you're on a fixed-rate contract, check your early termination fee before switching.
What is the average electricity rate in Texas?
The average residential electricity rate in Texas varies by season and market conditions. Competitive retail rates are often below the state average because deregulation drives competition. Check this page for current rates — the cheapest plans are sorted first.
