Express Energy Rates, Reviews, & Plans

About Express Energy

Express Energy bills itself as a “no-frills” retail electric provider that charges less than other providers. Express Energy customers can manage and access their account completely online 24/7. The company also has a toll-free customer care line open on weekdays. This self-service system is part of the reason Express Energy is able to offer low energy rates. 

Express Energy is a Texas-based energy provider founded in 2000. Today, the company is owned by Apollo Funds and has its headquarters in Irving, Texas.

Express Energy at-a-glance

• Satisfaction guarantee lets new customers end their contract within 30 days without an ETF.

Express Energy plans

Express Energy offers several plans for its customers. Below are popular Express Energy plans available in the SaveOnEnergy market. Available plans and rates may vary by location, so enter your ZIP code to see plans near you.

Flash Bundled 12

This 12-month fixed-rate energy plan is compelling for households with high energy usage. You get a $100 bill credit when you use more than 1,000 kWh per month. There is no base charge for this plan. Flash Bundled 12 requires a one-year contract. An ETF of $20 per remaining month applies if you leave before the end of your plan unless you move.

Flash 12 with Auto Pay

The Flash 12 with Auto Pay plan is a 12-month fixed-rate energy plan. Like the Flash Bundled 12, this plan has no base charge and offers a $100 bill credit for using more than 1,000 kWh each month. If you use less than 1,000 kWh, your price per kWh can double. For that reason, we don’t recommend this plan for households with monthly energy usage under 1,000 kWh. An ETF applies for ending the plan early unless relocating.  

Freeway 24

Express Energy offers the Freeway 24 plan to give customers free energy when they use between 1,001 and 2,000 kWh each month. Energy use outside that range (either more or less kWh) will be charged. However, you can receive a $35 bill credit when using more than 2,000 kWh. This 12-month fixed-rate energy plan has a $9.95 monthly base charge and a one-year contract with an ETF. The ETF does not apply if you move to a new home. 

Services offered by Express Energy

Express Energy for residential customers

Express Energy provides low-cost, no-frills energy plans for residential customers. Many of the plans require you to sign up for a year or more. However, if you sign up for autopay, the plan may offer you a bill credit that can help reduce the amount you end up paying for electricity.

Express Energy for business customers

Express Energy does not currently offer any commercial energy plans.

Green energy options with Express Energy

Each energy plan in Texas, including those from Express Energy, includes some percentage of green energy. Each Express Energy plan includes 6% of green energy, but they all have an option to upgrade to 100% Texas wind energy when you enroll.

• Deferred payment plan. Express Energy can offer you a deferred payment plan to help ease the financial burden if you’re facing financial hardship

Express Energy services areas

While Texas’s deregulated energy market allows you to choose your energy provider, your utility company is always based on your location. Express Energy is available in most of Texas. Here are a few of the company’s service areas, as well as the corresponding utility companies:

• Oncor, which supplies power to the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, as well as cities like Pflugerville and Round Rock
• CenterPoint, covering areas such as Houston, Katy, and League City
• Texas-New Mexico Power, which powers cities like Lewisville and Texas City
• AEP Texas, including the cities of Harlingen, Kingsville, and Victoria

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup

• 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.

How to move or transfer service with Express Energy

Express Energy makes it easy to transfer your energy service to your new home. With its online, self-service model, you simply log into your online account and provide your new address. Be sure to give the company at least two days’ notice (though two weeks is customary). If you’re moving outside Express Energy’s service area, the company will let you out of your contract without paying an early termination fee.
