Texas Electricity Plans Cheat Sheet

[u/mypowernegotiator]

Texans - stop falling for the “lowest teaser rate” trap on Power to Choose.

Most plans look amazing on paper… until your actual bill arrives and you realize the plan was never built for your home’s usage pattern.

The Cheat Sheet:

• Bill Credit Plans: Only for the "Steady Eddie." Best if you hit 1,000–1,500 kWh every month. Miss the window, and your rate spikes.
• Free Nights/Weekends: Only for "Night Owls" and EV owners. You need >50% usage at night to make this math work. Otherwise, the daytime rate will kill you.
• Fixed Rate: The "Safe Bet." Best for homes with big usage swings (±50%). No gimmicks, no "lost" credits, just one price.

You still need to look at your base energy charge and any monthly usage charges. Why guess, when you can use free tools at MyPowerNegotiator.com:
