Shop Texas Electricity Plans by Plan Type

Find the Right Type of Electricity Plan for Your Home

Texas electricity plans differ in rate structure, credit requirements, contract length, and how well they match your home’s energy usage. Browse our plan-type guides below, grouped by what matters most to you, to compare your options and find the one that fits your needs, budget, and timeline.

Start Here

Fixed-Rate Plans

Fixed-rate plans lock in your energy price for the full contract, giving you predictable bills and protection from price spikes. See why our experts recommend them for most Texans and how to compare rate types, contract lengths, and plan features.

Save on Your Bill

Bill Credit Plans

Bill credit plans take a set amount off your bill each month you reach a specific usage level. Learn how they work, who benefits most, and what happens to your bill if you miss the usage threshold.

Free Nights & Weekends

Free nights and weekends plans offer free electricity during off-peak hours, but higher rates the rest of the time mean few households actually save. See who might benefit and how to get the most from the free hours.

Solar Buyback Plans

If you already own solar panels, a buyback plan credits your bill for the excess power you send back to the grid. Learn how solar buyback works in Texas and what to realistically expect from it.

Get Service on Your Terms

Same-Day Electricity

Get your lights on the same day when you have a smart meter and enroll before your provider’s cutoff time. See cutoff times by provider and how to get same-day service even with bad credit.

Month-to-Month Plans

Month-to-month plans have no contract and no early termination fee, so you can cancel or switch at any time. They suit renters and movers, but rates change monthly and can climb during peak seasons.

No-Deposit Plans

Compare ways to start service without paying a security deposit, from prepaid plans with no credit check to postpaid plans that may waive the deposit based on your credit. Find out how to avoid an upfront energy deposit.

Prepaid Plans

Prepaid plans let you pay for electricity in advance with no credit check or deposit, then reload your balance as you go. Weigh the pros and cons, including higher rates and the risk of shut-off if your balance runs out.

Match Your Home

Apartment Electricity Plans

Most Texas plans are priced for larger homes, which can leave apartment renters with higher rates. Find providers and plans built for lower usage, flexible terms, and contract lengths that match your lease.

Low-Usage Plans

Find plans priced for smaller homes and apartments that use roughly 500 to 1,000 kWh a month. Learn how usage tiers work and how to choose a bill credit plan that fits your typical range.

High-Usage Plans

Large homes that use 2,000 kWh or more per month need plans that reward high usage, such as bigger bill credits. See which plans fit and how to shop by home size.
