On October 9, 2026, we compared 1,112 active Power to Choose listings with each plan's own Electricity Facts Label (EFL). For 79 listings (7.1%), the price, contract term or cancellation fee on the EFL differs from the listing; for 1,033 we found no difference. Before you sign, check the EFL, which is the document that governs the plan.
As of October 2026, our data lists 952 distinct residential plan offers (1,107 listings before combining English/Spanish duplicates of the same plan) from 44 provider brands across Texas's competitive utility areas. For a home averaging 1,000 kWh a month on a seasonal profile, the lowest estimated annual cost for a fixed-rate plan ranges from about $1,323 (AEP Texas Central) to about $1,464 (Oncor), and the cheapest-looking plans at 1,000 kWh mostly rank far lower once a full year is counted.
A fixed-rate plan keeps the same price for the whole contract, apart from limited regulated changes such as utility delivery charges. Variable plans can change price from month to month, time-of-use plans charge different rates by hour or season, and prepaid plans are paid in advance. Most households comparing plans by annual cost start with fixed-rate plans of 6 months or longer, which is what we show by default.
