Find a cheap electricity rate

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) tracks average retail electric rates in Texas, as shown in the chart below through February 2020. Many factors affect the rise and fall of energy rates in Texas, including seasonal changes. Consumers who buy at an off-peak time may lock in a lower rate.

Chart shows how Texas electricity rates have changed.

The 2020 average for residential Texas electricity rates is 11.86 cents per kilowatt hour (¢/kWh). The current lowest Texas rate in the SaveOnEnergy marketplace is 6.3¢/kWh.

Electric plans in Texas

There are several types of electricity plans and energy rates to choose from in the deregulated Texas market. Your lifestyle, energy needs, and average electricity consumption can help you choose the best option for you. Some popular options include:

Fixed-Rate Plans. These plans have fixed electric rates set in your contract and you’ll pay that same rate every month, regardless of fluctuations in the energy market. If you value stability, a fixed-rate plan may work well for you.
Variable-Rate Plans. These plans are subject to change depending on energy market volatility. This means you can get a cheaper rate when demand is low, but might be stuck paying more when demand is high. Variable-rate plans are best for those who like flexibility.
Green Energy Plans. These plans allow consumers to offset up to 100 percent of their household or business’ carbon emissions from the building’s electricity consumption.
Prepaid Plans. These plans do not require a credit check and allow consumers to pay for energy in advance. They’re also a popular no deposit option.

For a deeper dive into plan types, rate options, and contract lengths, see our guide to picking the right plan.

A few things to remember

Don’t forget to read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains important information including:
- Price per kilowatt-hour based on usage
- % renewable energy sourcing
- Early termination fees
Enjoy hassle-free supplier setup. Once your order has been confirmed, your new supplier will set up service with your utility, or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
Understanding your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure including meters and power lines. Your utility fees can be found as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.
