Is the Smart Edge plan right for you?
Choose Texas Power’s take: The Smart Edge plan is a great choice if you have low to moderate energy usage and want a bill credit plan from a reputable Texas energy company.
The Smart Edge plan is best for customers who regularly use 800 kWh or more to claim the $50 monthly bill credit. While this isn’t the highest bill credit on our marketplace, its low usage threshold is easy to meet, an advantage over other options.
Who the Smart Edge plan is not right for
The Smart Edge plan is probably not right for you if you typically use more than 1,000 kWh each month. At this level, you’d likely get more value from a different bill credit plan, like Gexa Energy’s Eco Saver Plus 12 plan, which gives you a $125 monthly bill credit if you use at least 1,000 kWh. Use the Home Size filter on our marketplace to find and browse our best deals at the 1,000 kWh usage tier.
