EFL average prices in cents/kWh, including delivery charges. Ranges reflect different delivery (TDSP) territories. A low 1,000 kWh price on a bill-credit plan does not carry to lower usage levels — check the 500 kWh column. Confirm current rates and terms with the provider before enrolling.
How Gexa Energy and Discount Power Differ Structurally
Discount Power's current listings show the sharper split: most of its plans are Bill Credit Bundles with a $125 credit at 1,000 kWh, posting some of the lowest 1,000 kWh average prices in our data while being among the most expensive at 500 kWh. Those credit bundles carry the catalog's off-cycle term lengths (10 to 25 months in today's data), backed by a flat Saver line at conventional 12-, 24-, and 36-month terms. Gexa's current public catalog is smaller and flat-rate, marketed as 100% renewable via renewable energy certificates — though bill-credit plans have been a Gexa staple historically and may reappear. Based on active plans today, Discount Power offers more plans and more structural variety; Gexa's short flat-rate lineup is the simpler, renewable-branded option.
Which May Fit You, Based on Plans Available Today
- Shoppers who want a simple flat-rate plan with renewable marketing from a large corporate parent
- Homes with usage that swings below 1,000 kWh in mild months, where credit-plan thresholds hurt
- Homes that clear 1,000 kWh every month and can capture the full $125 credit — currently among the lowest listed effective rates at that level
- Shoppers using off-cycle term lengths (10, 13, 25 months) to time their renewal away from summer
- People who want both structures from one provider so they can pick credit or flat after modeling their usage
Neither provider is the better choice for everyone. Offers rotate weekly, and the structure that wins at 2,000 kWh can lose at 500 kWh — rank both by estimated monthly cost at your own usage before deciding.
