TXU Energy doesn’t just serve homeowners. You can also shop their plans if you rent a home or apartment. TXU offers variable-rate plans, meaning you aren’t locked into a contract.

Most energy providers charge an early termination fee on their fixed-rate plans. You’ll pay this fee if you decide to cancel your service before the end of your contract. The fee depends on your provider and the length of the plan you have. TXU Energy charges fees ranging from $150 to $395 for early termination of your plan.

TXU Energy has developed several programs to aid its local communities, including:
Customers have several TXU Energy plans to choose from, with a variety of rates and terms. The following are some of the options customers will find on the Choose Energy marketplace.
With this 12-month fixed-rate plan, you can get a Smart Savings bill credit of $30 for each billing cycle when you use more than 800 kWh. We recommend this plan if you consistently use 800 kWh or more a month. Because the $30 savings doesn’t apply to usage less than 800 kWh, we do not recommend this plan to customers with lower energy consumption.
This variable-rate plan allows you to pay month-to-month and receive 3% cashback with loyalty rewards. More information about the 3% cashback reward is available in the plan’s EFL. As you are not locked into a specified term, there are no early cancellation fees, but your usage rate can vary from month to month. This is a great option for customers who do not want a contract.
This 12-month fixed-rate plan uses 100% renewable energy. TXU Energy purchases solar energy and solar renewable energy credits each month equal to the full amount of your usage during the day, between 5:00 a.m. and 7:59 p.m., and wind renewable energy credits equal to your usage at night, from 8:00 p.m. to 4:59 a.m. Customers receive a 100% discount on all energy charges and TDU delivery charges during night hours. We recommend this plan to customers who spend more time at home during the evenings as opposed to the day, such as families with children in school or those with day jobs.
This fixed-rate plan has a contract starting at 12 months. You can receive a Smart Savings bill credit of $30 each billing cycle if your usage exceeds 1,200 kWh. The energy charge is the least expensive for customers who use between 1,201 and 2,000 kWh, so we recommend this plan if your monthly usage consistently falls within this range.
In this 12-month fixed-rate plan, TXU Energy purchases solar energy and renewable energy credits each month for up to 500 kWh of usage. This is the monthly amount of electricity used during the day by the average Texas home, meaning your daytime electricity usage would be powered by solar energy and your nighttime usage would be powered by other sources (not necessarily renewable). Pricing for this plan is almost equal at all usage levels, so we recommend this plan for all customers.
With more than 2 million customers, TXU Energy serves many of the state’s cities and communities.

Read the Electricity Facts Label before making a final decision on your plan. For each plan, you’ll learn:
Enjoy hands-off set up. Once your plan is confirmed, TXU Energy will finalize the set-up process with your utility or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) for you. Additionally, there’ll be no disruption of service when you’re changing providers.
Understand your electricity bill. Your bill will contain charges from TXU Energy for the amount of electricity you use and from your utility or TDSP for delivering it to your home. The TDSP also maintains the power lines and restores outages. If there is a power outage near you, contact your utility company.
