Discount Power FAQ

Common questions about Discount Power electricity plans, rates, and service areas.

What areas does Discount Power serve?

Discount Power offers plans in five Texas deregulated TDU territories: Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas Central, AEP Texas North, and TNMP. Enter your ZIP code to confirm availability and see rates for your territory.

Are Discount Power electricity rates competitive?

Discount Power rates currently average 11.2¢/kWh across 5 Texas territories, with the cheapest plan at 7.2¢/kWh in CenterPoint. Rates vary by territory because each TDU has different delivery charges. All rates on this page are refreshed multiple times daily.

What causes price differences across Discount Power service areas?

The price differences come from TDU delivery charges, which are set by your local utility — not by Discount 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.

Can I get a short-term plan from Discount Power?

Discount Power offers contract terms from 10 to 36 months. Shorter terms give you flexibility to switch sooner, while longer terms typically lock in a lower rate. Early cancellation fees apply: 13-month plan: $150; 12-month plan: $150; 24-month plan: $295; 36-month plan: $395.

How do I switch to Discount Power?

Choose a plan and enroll online or by calling their customer service line. Your new provider coordinates the switch with your TDU — power stays on during the changeover, typically within 1-3 business days.
