Can businesses compare plans too?

Yes. Commercial customers in Texas can compare fixed, indexed, and quote-based plans. Multi-meter accounts often qualify for additional savings.

When should I compare electricity rates?

Compare 30–60 days before your contract ends. Also worth checking quarterly if you are on a variable plan during high-volatility periods.

Does my credit score affect plan options?

Some providers require credit checks or deposits. Others offer prepaid or no-deposit plans. You can filter for no-deposit plans during comparison.

What is the difference between my provider and my utility?

Your provider (like TXU or Gexa) sets your energy rate. Your utility, CenterPoint, delivers electricity, maintains lines, and handles outages — regardless of provider.
