Gexa Energy Rates, Plans, and Reviews

Gexa Energy provides plans for Texas residents sourced solely from 100% green energy. Some plans include a monthly credit when you use a certain amount of electricity.

Gexa Energy offerings include: 

• Fixed-rate and variable-rate (month-to-month) plans
• Plans that offer discounted electric vehicle (EV)charging periods
• Plans that offer bill credits if you use a certain amount of energy per month

Gexa Energy is one of the leading energy providers in Texas, especially for green energy. It’s also a popular energy provider on the Choose Energy marketplace and meets our strict criteria. We vet each partner to confirm they are reliable, offer a variety of plans, and provide excellent customer service. 

Types of rates offered by Gexa Energy

Like most other Texas electricity providers, Gexa Energy offers two types of energy plans: fixed-rate and variable-rate.

• Fixed-rate plans: You’ll have the same Gexa Energy rate throughout your contract. Gexa’s fixed-rate plans come in 12-, 24-, and 36-month term lengths. We recommend a fixed-rate plan for customers who prefer to have a stable and predictable energy bill.
• Variable-rate plans: A variable-rate plan means your Gexa Energy rate will fluctuate monthly based on changes in the energy market. When demand is lower, your rate will likely decrease. However, your rate will also spike as demand increases. These plans are best for renters or those who need the flexibility to switch their electricity anytime.

Green energy with Gexa Energy

Green energy plans use energy sources such as solar power and wind power that do not emit carbon emissions in the generation process. Gexa Energy’s residential plans use 100% green energy at no extra cost. Its parent company, NextEra Energy Resources, is one of the world’s leading renewable power generators from wind and solar sources.

Moving or transferring service with Gexa Energy

If you are moving to an area Gexa Energy serves, it’s easy to transfer your service to your new address. If Gexa Energy doesn’t serve your new neighborhood, you can disconnect your service without paying an early termination fee (ETF) and switch energy providers.

Renting with Gexa Energy

Gexa Energy also offers plans ideal for customers who only plan to use an energy provider for a short time. These variable-rate plans have no contracts or fees for switching providers. You can also explore Gexa Energy plans with term lengths that match your rental agreement.

Cancellation fees

There is no fee for canceling a variable-rate plan, but Gexa Energy charges an ETF if you cancel its fixed-rate plans before your contract expires. You’ll pay a $150 cancellation fee for a 12-month plan and $295 on 24-month and 36-month plans. But the company will waive the ETF if you move outside the Gexa Energy service area.

A few things to remember

Learn about your plan. Read the Electricity Facts Label before making a final decision. For each plan, you’ll learn:

• Price per kWh based on how much electricity you use
• How much of the plan’s energy comes from renewable sources
• The plan’s early termination fees, if applicable

Enjoy hands-off setup. Once you choose your plan, TXU Energy will complete the setup with your utility or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP). Additionally, there will be no service disruption when you change providers.

Understand your electricity bill. Your bill will contain charges from TXU Energy for the electricity you use and from your utility or TDSP for delivering it to your home. The TDSP also maintains power lines and restores outages. If there is a power outage near you, contact your utility company.

Residents and business owners can choose their electricity provider in states with deregulated electricity markets such as Texas. The Choose Energy marketplace is a free service that helps customers find cheap electricity plans by comparing the available rates and plans. 

To get started, you can enter your ZIP code and explore the options in your area. You can filter the results based on provider, rate type, contract length, green energy, provider rating, and more. Once you’ve selected a plan, you can sign up in minutes.

One of the easiest ways to reduce your utility bills is to reduce your electricity use. Upgrading to energy-efficient appliances, weatherizing your home, and turning off devices and appliances when not in use are all ways to conserve energy.

Customers may also be able to lower their bills by switching to another energy plan with lower electricity rates. Read our guide to lowering your electricity bills to learn more.
