EFL average prices in cents/kWh, including delivery charges. Ranges reflect different delivery (TDSP) territories. Where a Green Mountain Energy plan is listed without pricing, our review of its pricing formula isn't complete and we don't estimate it. Confirm current rates and terms with the provider before enrolling.

Average prices hide plan-structure differences — a bill-credit plan and a flat-rate plan can share a 1,000 kWh price and behave very differently at your usage. The compare tool estimates every plan at your actual monthly kWh.

Early Termination Fees

Cancellation fees listed in Green Mountain Energy's current plan documents range from $150 to $395. Some fees are flat; others are charged per month remaining on the contract, which changes the math substantially. The exact amount and structure are stated in each plan's EFL and Terms of Service — confirm there before enrolling. Moving to a new address generally lets you exit a Texas contract without a fee when you provide proof of the move.

Renewable Positioning

Renewable positioning is the brand: all plans are marketed as 100% renewable via renewable energy certificates. RECs fund renewable generation accounting; the grid electricity delivered to your home is the same regardless of provider. Each plan's EFL carries the formal renewable content disclosure.

What to Check Before Picking a Green Mountain Energy Plan

Price the renewable premium in dollars

Green Mountain's listed rates have typically sat several cents per kWh above the market's cheapest plans. At 1,000 kWh that's a meaningful monthly premium — decide deliberately whether the renewable positioning is worth it to you, and compare against other renewable-marketed plans like Gexa's, which have sometimes priced lower.

Simple structure still has a base charge

Flat-rate simplicity doesn't eliminate the small-usage effect: check the 500 kWh average price if you're in an apartment.

Who Green Mountain EnergyMay & May Not Fit

May fit
  • Shoppers who specifically want a renewable-marketed plan from the longest-established brand in that niche and accept a price premium
  • People who value the simplest possible plan structure — one rate, no thresholds, no time windows
May not fit
  • Cost-first shoppers — cheaper plans, including other renewable-marketed ones, typically exist across the market

Based on the plans available in our data today — provider catalogs change. Rank plans by estimated cost at your usage rather than by brand.

Frequently Asked Questions About Green Mountain Energy

Is Green Mountain Energy actually greener than other providers?
Green Mountain markets all its residential plans as 100% renewable backed by renewable energy certificates, and it has done so longer than nearly any other retail brand. Physically, every Texas home receives the same grid mix — renewable claims are an accounting of generation funded on your behalf. Several other providers also market 100% renewable plans, sometimes at lower prices, so compare on estimated cost too.
Who owns Green Mountain Energy?
Green Mountain Energy has been owned by NRG Energy since 2010. NRG also owns Reliant and Direct Energy; the brands price independently.
Does Green Mountain offer bill credits or free nights?
Bill credits and free-period pricing have not been features of Green Mountain's catalog — it has typically listed fixed-rate plans only. If you want time-based or credit structures with renewable marketing, compare providers like Chariot Energy or Gexa Energy.
