957 plans: every active plan on Power to Choose on Oct 9, 2026, all plan types, with English and Spanish listings of the same product counted once. Fixed 810 · variable 72 · time-of-use 47 · prepaid 28. We read the EFL of 957 of them. For 904 of those, our reading reproduces the 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh prices published on Power to Choose; for the other 53 it does not, so we do not use their base charge or bill credits.
No fee: 100 · flat fee: 659 · fee per remaining month: 198 · unknown: 0 (of 957 plans). Source: EFL for 931 plans, Power to Choose’s cancellation-fee field for 26 plans whose EFL gave no fee.

Maximum fee = the flat fee, or the per-month fee × contract months (what you would owe if you cancelled in the first month). Median and 90th percentile are among plans that charge a fee. Under Texas rules a cancellation fee does not apply if you move and give proof.
Most common flat fees: $150 (181 plans) · $175 (117 plans) · $200 (54 plans) · $100 (44 plans) · $300 (39 plans)
Most common fees per remaining month: $20 (170 plans) · $15 (28 plans)
Of 757 plans with a base charge read from a price-checked EFL, 411 (54.3%) charge $0 and 346 charge a monthly base charge (median $4.95, 90th percentile $9.95). Most common non-zero amounts: $4.95 (133 plans) · $5 (70 plans) · $4 (35 plans) · $2 (35 plans) · $9.95 (28 plans).
Not counted: 53 plans whose EFL reading did not reproduce the published prices, and 147 plans whose EFL lists no base charge line (their published prices are reproduced without one). This is the provider’s own charge; the utility’s monthly delivery charge is separate and applies to every plan.

Thresholds as written on the EFL: a label that says “more than 999 kWh” is listed as 999, one that says “1,000 kWh or more” as 1,000. A plan with two credit tiers is counted once in each row. 14 plans have two or more usage credit tiers. 50 plans have a fixed monthly credit not tied to usage (for example autopay or paperless), not counted above. Source: price-checked EFL for 904 plans; for the other 53 plans (EFL reading not price-checked), the credit we read from the Power to Choose fees text or price pattern.
34 of 957 plans with a read EFL charge a fee when monthly usage is below a set level. $4.99 below 400 kWh: 19 plans · $0.50 below 26 kWh: 15 plans.
Power to Choose marks 78 of the 957 plans as having “minimum usage fees or credits”; that mark covers both fees and credits, so it is a different count.
100% renewable: 250 · under 100%: 707 · 0%: 0 · unknown: 0 (of 957 plans).
The renewable content printed on the EFL for 920 plans; Power to Choose’s renewable field for 37 plans whose EFL gave no value.
We take every active plan on Power to Choose on the data date and count the same product listed in English and Spanish once. For each plan we read its Electricity Facts Label (EFL) automatically with fixed rules, then rebuild the 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh prices from what we read and compare them with the prices published on Power to Choose. Base charges and bill credits are used only when that check passes. Cancellation fees, minimum-usage fees and renewable content are not part of the price check; they come from the EFL as read, with Power to Choose fields where the EFL gave no value. Automated reading can miss or misread a field; every count above shows how many plans had no value. The EFL of each plan is linked from its plan page; check it before you sign up.
On Oct 9, 2026, 857 of 957 active plans (89.6%) charged a cancellation fee: 659 a flat fee and 198 a fee per remaining month. 100 plans had no fee.
72 of 957 active plans (7.5%) had a bill credit that depends on monthly usage. You get it only in months when your usage meets the condition, so check your own monthly usage before choosing one.
From each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL), which we read automatically with fixed rules and check against the prices published on Power to Choose, and from Power to Choose fields where the EFL gave no value. The page shows how many plans come from each source.
