Budget Power FAQ
Common questions about Budget Power electricity plans, rates, and service areas.
What areas does Budget Power serve?
Budget Power 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 Budget Power electricity cost per kWh?
At 1,000 kWh monthly usage, Budget Power plans currently price between 10.3¢ and 12.7¢ per kWh. The average across all plans and territories is 11.7¢/kWh, with the best rate found in the CenterPoint territory. These rates include TDU delivery charges and refresh several times per day.
What causes price differences across Budget Power service areas?
The price differences come from TDU delivery charges, which are set by your local utility — not by Budget Power. 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.
What contract lengths does Budget Power offer?
Budget Power currently offers fixed-rate plans ranging from 10 to 36 months. Early termination fees apply if you cancel before your contract ends. Current ETFs: 10-month plan: $100; 12-month plan: $100; 18-month plan: $125; 24-month plan: $175; 36-month plan: $250.
How do I sign up for Budget Power electricity?
Pick a plan from the table above, then enroll through the provider's website or by phone. Budget Power handles the switch with your local utility automatically. There's no interruption to your power — the transition usually takes 1-3 business days.
