Texas electricity plans, ranked by your estimated bill

See what each plan actually costs at your usage.

Advertised rates assume someone else's usage. We estimate your monthly bill for every plan, with EFL rates, TDU delivery charges, base fees, and bill credits included, then rank plans by that number.

The cheapest plan at 1,000 kWh is often not the cheapest at your usage
Pricing comes straight from each plan's Electricity Facts Label
Providers can't pay to move up the rankings

Why are Texas electricity plans so confusing?

Advertised rates assume a specific usage level. We calculate your actual cost using your usage, including credits, tiers, and fees. See how TrueBill calculates estimated monthly cost →
