Think Energy

Company Overview

Here’s the truth about Think Energy: They’re an out-of-state company that’s perfectly fine—just not Texas-focused.

Think Energy is headquartered in Philadelphia and serves multiple deregulated markets across the US. Texas is one of many states for them, not their home turf. They’ve been selling here since 2020—short track record for Texas specifically.

Does it matter? Probably not. Your TDU (Oncor or CenterPoint) delivers the actual electricity regardless of where your REP is headquartered. PUCT licenses everyone to the same standards. But if you prefer Texas companies for Texas electricity, plenty of Houston and Dallas-based options exist.

The green plans are their strength—100% renewable options are a core offering, not a checkbox add-on. Limited Texas coverage (only Houston and Dallas, no AEP Texas or TNMP) is the main constraint.

Multi-State Operator

Think Energy serves customers in:

• Texas
• Pennsylvania
• New Jersey
• Ohio
• Maryland
• Other deregulated states

This multi-state approach means they’re not Texas-focused exclusively. Could be good (broader experience) or bad (less local expertise) depending on your perspective.

Green Energy Focus

Think Energy emphasizes renewable energy options:

• 100% renewable plans available
• Wind energy products
• Carbon-conscious positioning

If environmental impact matters to your electricity decision, Think offers what many traditional Texas REPs don’t emphasize.

Where Think Operates in Texas

Think Energy currently serves:

• Houston through CenterPoint
• Dallas–Fort Worth through Oncor

They don’t currently operate in AEP Texas (Corpus Christi) or TNMP (Lubbock) territories. This limits their reach compared to REPs that serve all deregulated Texas.

Plan Options

Fixed-rate plans: Standard 6-24 month contracts with locked pricing.

Variable-rate plans: Month-to-month flexibility.

Green plans: 100% renewable energy options that are a core part of their offering.

What They Don’t Offer

Think Energy focuses on straightforward service:

• No prepaid plans
• No free nights/weekends gimmicks
• No solar buyback programs (yet)
• Limited Texas geographic coverage

The Out-of-State Question

Does it matter that Think Energy is based in Pennsylvania?

Probably not: Your TDU (Oncor or CenterPoint) handles actual delivery, and PUCT licenses all REPs regardless of headquarters location. Service quality shouldn’t differ.

Maybe: Some customers prefer Texas companies for Texas electricity. If that matters to you, there are plenty of Houston and Dallas-based options.

The Bottom Line

Think Energy is a legitimate option for customers in CenterPoint and Oncor territories who want renewable energy plans from a modern, online-first company.

Their limited Texas coverage and shorter track record here might give some customers pause. But if you’re in Houston or Dallas and find a Think Energy rate you like—especially their green options—they’re worth considering.
