Where the data comes from
Power to Choose (powertochoose.org), run by the Public Utility Commission of Texas: every listed plan, its prices at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, term, cancellation fee and fees text. Imported every day; duplicate English and Spanish listings of the same product are counted once.
Each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL), the provider’s official price document. Our EFL readings are automated with fixed rules and checked against the prices published on Power to Choose; each page says how many plans could not be read or checked.

Frequently asked questions
What is TexasHomeBills data?
Free, original statistics on Texas retail electricity plans, published by TexasHomeBills™. Every day we collect every plan listed on Power to Choose (1,112 listings on Oct 9, 2026) and read each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL), then publish five data products: advertised price vs real cost, fees and bill credits, listing accuracy, the Texas Real Rate Index and daily price changes. TexasHomeBills is independent and not endorsed by the PUCT.
How many Texas electricity plan listings differ from their EFL?
On Oct 9, 2026, 79 of 1,112 Power to Choose listings (7.1%) showed a verified difference from the plan’s own EFL: 60 in price, 24 in contract term and 1 in cancellation fee (6 listings differ in more than one). Counting English and Spanish listings of the same product once, that is 67 of 957 products. Every case is listed with the EFL line quoted.
How much more do bill-credit plans really cost?
On Oct 9, 2026, the median gap between estimated real cost and advertised 1,000 kWh price was 8.3¢/kWh for the 60 bill-credit plans in the default rankings, compared with 0.0¢ for the other 642 plans. This is our estimate for a home averaging 1,000 kWh a month on a typical Texas seasonal usage profile, before taxes: a bill credit is missed in months when usage is below its threshold.
What is the median cancellation fee on Texas electricity plans?
On Oct 9, 2026, 857 of 957 active Texas electricity plans (89.6%) charged a cancellation fee. Among the 857 with a known amount, the median largest fee during the contract (the flat fee, or the per-month fee × contract months) was $175. The most common amounts were $150 flat (181 plans) and $20 per remaining month (170 plans).
