The honest cost
All-in monthly cost (energy, delivery, and fees together) at the three standard usage levels, per delivery area. Advertised rates only tell you the price at exactly 1,000 kWh.
| Delivery area | 500 kWh | 1,000 kWh | 2,000 kWh | Advertised |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AEP TEXAS CENTRAL | $64 | $123 | $240 | 12.3¢/kWh |
| AEP TEXAS NORTH | $68 | $132 | $260 | 13.2¢/kWh |
| CENTERPOINT ENERGY HOUSTON ELECTRIC LLC your area | $70 | $133 | $260 | 13.3¢/kWh |
| ONCOR ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY | $68 | $131 | $254 | 13.1¢/kWh |
| TEXAS-NEW MEXICO POWER COMPANY | $80 | $151 | $292 | 15.1¢/kWh |
The catch
Monthly base charge of $2.00, before any electricity is used.
The price above assumes you enroll in autopay: the EFL folds in a $5.00/mo credit you forfeit by paying another way. Most shoppers enroll and pay exactly this price; the credit lapses only if you opt out or a draft fails.
Cancellation fee: $200
Fees in the fine print
Pulled from this plan's Terms of Service. None of these apply if every bill is paid on time, but when one does hit, the amount depends on the provider, not the rate you signed.
- Late payment: 5% of the past-due balance
- Returned payment: $35
- Disconnection for nonpayment: $50
- Reconnection after nonpayment: $35
