Ambit Energy FAQ
Common questions about Ambit Energy electricity plans, rates, and service areas.
What areas does Ambit Energy serve?
Ambit Energy offers plans in six Texas deregulated TDU territories: Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas Central, AEP Texas North, TNMP, and Sharyland. Enter your ZIP code to confirm availability and see rates for your territory.
How much does Ambit Energy electricity cost per kWh?
At 1,000 kWh monthly usage, Ambit Energy plans currently price between 19.8¢ and 19.8¢ per kWh. The average across all plans and territories is 19.8¢/kWh, with the best rate found in the AEP Texas North territory. These rates include TDU delivery charges and refresh several times per day.
What causes price differences across Ambit Energy service areas?
The price differences come from TDU delivery charges, which are set by your local utility — not by Ambit Energy. Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, and other TDUs each have different per-kWh delivery rates and fixed monthly fees, so the same plan will have a different all-in price depending on your territory.
How long are Ambit Energy electricity contracts?
Plan terms range from 12 to 12 months. Fixed-rate contracts lock in your energy rate for the full term. If you need to cancel early, expect an early termination fee — current ETFs: ETF amounts vary by plan. Review each plan's EFL for details.
What do I need to enroll with Ambit Energy?
You'll need your service address (or ZIP code), a valid ID, and your Social Security number for a credit check. Some plans may not require a credit check or deposit. Select a plan above to start enrollment. The switch typically completes in 1-3 business days with no service interruption.
