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

What areas does Discount Power serve?

Discount 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.

What are Discount Power's current rates?

Rates range from 7.2¢ to 16.3¢/kWh depending on the plan and territory, with an average of 11.2¢/kWh. The lowest rate is currently in the CenterPoint territory. Rates on this page update multiple times daily.

Why do Discount Power rates differ by territory?

Each TDU (Transmission and Distribution Utility) charges different delivery rates that are passed through to your bill. The same Discount Power plan can cost several cents more per kWh in one territory vs. another because of these delivery charge differences.

What contract lengths does Discount Power offer?

Discount 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: 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.
