Mission Electricity Rates and Companies

Our recommended Mission energy plans

The best electricity plans in Mission for most residents are usually fixed-rate plans, which keep your energy rate stable throughout your contract. Many popular plans also include bill credits that can significantly lower your effective electricity rate when your monthly usage falls within the plan’s intended range. Understanding your typical electricity usage can help you identify plans that offer the strongest savings opportunities.

Below are a few popular, well-trusted Mission electricity plans to consider:

Best overall: Rhythm Max Saver 12

Rhythm Max Saver 12 is a strong option for many Mission residents. The plan offers a $125 bill credit each month when usage reaches 1,000 kWh or more, creating an opportunity for significant savings. For households that regularly use around 1,000 kWh or more, the credit can help lower overall electricity costs and deliver a competitive effective rate. Rhythm’s renewable energy offerings and customer-friendly experience further enhance the plan’s appeal for many shoppers.

Best for high usage: Frontier Saver Deluxe 12

Frontier Saver Deluxe 12 may be a good fit for higher-usage households. The plan offers a $100 usage credit when you use at least 1,500 kWh in a billing cycle. While some high-usage plans require 2,000 kWh or more to earn the bill credit, many higher-usage residents do not consistently meet that threshold every month. A 1,500 kWh requirement may provide a more realistic opportunity to qualify for savings.

Best for low usage: APG&E Simple Choice 12

APG&E Simple Choice 12 is a solid choice for customers with lower or less predictable electricity usage. Many low-usage residents see the most month-to-month variation in their electricity use, which can make bill-credit plans risky. Because this plan does not rely on usage minimums or bill credits, your bill is less likely to jump simply because you missed a specific usage threshold.

The best electricity plan for you will depend on your preferred contract length, typical monthly kWh usage and whether you can consistently qualify for any bill credits. We recommend using our rate finder tool to compare plans and match with the best option for your home.

Mission utilities: Oncor and AEP Texas Central

While you can choose your electricity provider in a deregulated market, your utility company is determined by your address and cannot be changed. Utilities deliver electricity, maintain power lines, and restore service during power outages. The utility companies for League City are Oncor Electric Delivery and AEP Texas Central. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider.

Here’s how to contact each utility:

Oncor:

• Call 1-888-313-4747.
• Text “OUT” to 66267.
• Report an outage online.

AEP Central:

• Call 1-866-223-8508.
• Report an outage online.

Texas utility companies collect a fee for delivering electricity, called a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) charge. Oncor Electric Delivery charges $4.23/month and 5.6183 ¢/kWh. AEP Central’s TDU charge includes a monthly charge of $3.24 and a usage charge of 5.9 ¢/kWh.

Types of Mission electric plans

Mission energy customers have several energy plan types to choose from, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, and no-deposit plans. Here’s a quick rundown of each type.

• Fixed-rate plans: With a fixed-rate plan, your electricity rate will remain stable throughout your contract, typically between one and three years. Fixed rates protect you from price fluctuations in the energy market. However, be aware that most fixed-rate plans require you to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your contract early.
• Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans fluctuate month-to-month in response to variations in the energy market rate. The rate you pay each month will change depending on factors like seasonality and energy demand. However, variable-rate plans don’t require a contract, so you won’t have to pay an ETF for switching plans or providers.
• No-deposit plans: Credit checks are a normal part of the energy-buying process. For those who would prefer not to have a credit check run or want to avoid paying a deposit, no-deposit plans with prepaid electricity are an option. You’ll pay for your electricity in advance, and your provider will notify you when the balance runs low to keep the electricity flowing.
• Time-of-use plans: A time-of-use (TOU) plan contains rates that fluctuate based on electricity demand. During times of low demand, such as late at night, you can enjoy a decreased rate. However, your rate may increase during peak hours, like mornings and afternoons. This plan could be advantageous if you are comfortable shifting your usage to capture lower rates during off-peak hours.
