Types of rates offered by TXU Energy
There are several types of TXU Energy plans to choose from, including fixed- and variable-rate options.
- Fixed-rate plans: With a fixed-rate plan, you pay a set rate per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the electricity you use each month. Most fixed-rate contracts last between 12 and 36 months. This type of plan is ideal for consumers who want stability and protection from changes in the energy market. However, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you leave your contract before it expires.
- Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans are ideal for consumers who don’t want to be locked into a contract. Your rate changes each month based on the wholesale cost of energy, so you can’t forecast your energy bills as easily as you would with a fixed-rate plan. However, you can change plans anytime without paying an ETF, so this may be a good option if you aren’t sure about your long-term plans.

No-deposit options from TXU Energy
Many electric suppliers run credit checks and require deposits from customers who don’t have high credit scores. If you want to avoid paying an upfront deposit or prefer not to have your credit checked, then a prepaid, no-deposit plan might be the best option. TXU Energy doesn’t currently offer any prepaid plans, but you can explore other options on our marketplace by filtering your search results for no-deposit and prepaid plans.
Green energy with TXU Energy
Like all electricity plans in Texas, every TXU Energy plan includes a portion of renewable energy. The company also offers 100% green plan options, which are completely sourced from renewable energy, such as Texas solar power. You can even “green up” any TXU plan, and the company will buy electricity or renewable energy credits to offset your energy usage. You can find out more about any plan’s renewable content on its Electricity Facts Label (EFL).

Renting with TXU Energy
TXU Energy doesn’t serve only homeowners — you can also sign up for a plan if you rent a home or apartment. TXU offers variable-rate plans, which can be a great choice for renters who want to avoid a long-term contract. You can also find fixed-rate plans for terms as short as 10 months, making it easier to transfer your TXU energy plan whenever you move.
Cancellation fees
Most energy providers — including TXU — charge an ETF on their fixed-rate plans. You’ll pay this TXU cancellation fee if you cancel your service before your contract ends (unless you’re moving out of your provider’s service area). The fee depends on your provider and the length of your contract. TXU Energy charges fees ranging from $150 to $395 for canceling your plan early.
Satisfaction guarantee
Unlike some of its competitors, TXU Energy offers a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. If you’re unhappy with your plan, you can cancel within 60 days of your activation date without paying a cancellation fee. Before you cancel, the company will try to find a better fit from other available TXU plans.
