Best Electricity Companies in Texas 2026

We evaluate companies on five factors: stability (will they be around next year?), customer service (can you reach them?), plan flexibility (do they offer what you need?), transparency (clear pricing?), and reputation (what do long-term customers say?). We don't just look at the lowest advertised rate.

We earn the same commission regardless of which provider you choose. We have no financial incentive to push one company over another. Our rankings are based on research, not advertising deals.

We review and update our rankings monthly, or sooner if there's a major change like a company acquisition, significant rate changes, or customer service issues. Each page shows its last update date.

Start with your specific situation. If you're in an apartment, check 'Best for Apartments.' If you have bad credit, check 'Best for Bad Credit.' Only use 'Best Overall' if none of the specialized categories apply to you.

Rates change constantly — sometimes daily. A company that's cheapest today might not be tomorrow. We rank companies on reliability, service, and overall value. For current rates, check our plans page to see live pricing.

That's common. Check both categories and look for providers that appear on multiple lists. If a company ranks well for 'Apartments' AND 'Low Usage,' that's a strong signal they're right for small-space renters.
