About Express Energy

Enter your ZIP code on the Choose Energy marketplace to discover Express Energy plans in your area today.

Why choose Express Energy

Express Energy is a retail electric provider (REP) serving several deregulated areas of Texas. The company promotes itself as offering “No Frills. Low Bills.” Express Energy services include:

  • Fixed-rate plans
  • Option to upgrade some plans to 100% green energy 
  • 30-day money-back guarantee

Everything you need to know about Express Energy

Express Energy is one of the top energy providers in Texas’s deregulated market. Choose Energy only partners with trusted energy providers so you can choose from vetted energy plans. The criteria we use when selecting providers include reliability, plan variety, affordability, and customer service. We include Express Energy on the Choose Energy marketplace since the company meets our criteria in these critical areas.

Types of rates offered by Express Energy

Express Energy offers a variety of fixed-rate plans, which you can find on Choose Energy. Here’s a look at how these differ from variable-rate plans:

  • Fixed-rate plan: A fixed-rate plan is ideal for customers who value security and protection from rate spikes in the energy market. You have a contract for a set period, meaning your rate won’t change. These plans include early termination fees (ETFs) if you cancel your contract before it expires.
  • Variable-rate plan: A variable-rate plan can be better for those who want more flexibility. You won’t have to pay any ETFs because you don’t have a contract, but your rate can fluctuate with changes in the wholesale energy market. Express Energy doesn’t currently offer variable-rate plans on the Choose Energy marketplace, but if you’re interested, you may be able to find variable-rate plans from other providers using our search filters.

No-deposit options from Express Energy

Like most other electricity companies, Express Energy requires a deposit before service begins. Customers who have specific credit scores or meet other criteria may be exempt from paying a deposit. While Express Energy does not offer a particular no-deposit plan, several are available on the Choose Energy marketplace. Enter your ZIP code to explore no-deposit and prepaid options in your area.

Green energy with Express Energy

Every Texas energy plan is powered by a percentage of green energy from wind and solar energy sources. The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) on each plan will tell you precisely how much it includes. Express Energy’s standard plans use 7% renewable energy, but you can upgrade to 100% during enrollment.

Moving or transferring service with Express Energy

To transfer your plan to a different address, simply submit a request through your online account or call customer service at 844-361-2080 to arrange your service transfer. If Express Energy does not offer service in your new area and you need to switch to a different provider, you can do so without paying an ETF.

Renting with Express Energy

Renters can also enjoy Express Energy’s affordable electricity plans. While some Express Energy plans require you to enter into a long-term contract, there are short-term, 12-month plans for those still determining how long they’ll be in their home. You can also explore variable-rate plans from other providers on Choose Energy for an even shorter solution.

Cancellation fees

Most providers offering fixed-rate energy plans also have ETFs if you cancel your service before your contract ends. The fee depends on the provider and the type of plan you have. Longer-term energy plans tend to have higher cancellation fees. Express Energy’s ETF is based on how early you cancel — you’ll pay $20 per month remaining on your plan.

Satisfaction guarantee

Express Energy offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for its energy plans. If you’re unhappy with your plan, you can cancel by phone within 60 days of activation to avoid paying an ETF.

Express Energy business electricity

Express Energy doesn’t currently offer business energy plans. To learn more about your commercial energy options, you can request a customized commercial electricity quote or call the number on your screen to speak to a business energy expert to find the best plan for your company.

Other Express Energy initiatives

Express Energy offers an online bill-pay option and the opportunity to check usage trends and get usage alerts specific to your home and energy consumption. The company also has referral rewards and bill-pay assistance programs for customers.

Express Energy plans

Express Energy offers several different energy plans for each customer to find the best fit for their needs. Here are a few Express Energy plans you’ll find on the Choose Energy marketplace:

Flash 12 and 24

With Express Energy’s Flash 12 or 24 plan, you’ll get a fixed rate for either 12 or 24 months and the benefit of a $100 bill credit each month you use 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) or more. This plan includes 7% renewable energy content, with the option to upgrade to 100% wind energy. If you cancel your plan early, you will have to pay an ETF of $20 per month remaining on your contract.

Power Flash 12 and 24

The Power Flash 12- and 24-month fixed-rate plans work best for energy customers who use around 2,000 kWh or more each month. With these plans, you’ll receive a $100 bill credit for reaching this usage level. The plans contain 7% renewable energy, with the option to switch to 100% Texas wind. If you end your contract early, you’ll incur an ETF of $20 per month left on your plan.

Tips for best electricity plans

Finding cheap electricity from providers like Express Energy on the Choose Energy marketplace is easy. You can search for plans and sign up in one place, and your new provider will handle the rest.

A few things to remember

Before you make a final decision, be sure to read the Electricity Facts Label on your plan. It includes important information about:

  • Your electricity rate based on how much energy you use each month
  • The percentage of green energy in your plan
  • How much you’ll pay if you cancel your plan early

Express Energy will finish the setup process once you pick the best plan. You don’t have to worry about service interruptions; you’ll be up and running.

Ensure you know how to understand your electricity bill. Your bill will contain charges from Express Energy for your electricity usage and from your local utility company for delivering your power. The utility also maintains the power lines and restores outages. Be sure to contact your local utility — not Express Energy — if there is a power outage near you.
