What Happened to Flagship Power?
Flagship Power was an independent budget provider that operated from 2019 to May 2024 under Utility Rescue Holdings. They competed purely on having the lowest rates in Texas — no corporate parent, no green options, no frills.
In May 2024, Flagship ceased operations. Customers were transferred to Atlantex Power and AE Texas.
Why Gexa Energy Is Still Here
Gexa Energy has served Texas for 24 years, backed by NextEra Energy — the world’s largest renewable energy company with a $150B+ market cap. That corporate parent also owns Florida Power & Light and Frontier Utilities.
What Gexa Energy offers:
- Fixed-rate and variable plans at competitive mid-tier pricing
- Green energy plans with renewable sourcing
- Solar buyback plans for customers with rooftop solar
- 24 years of continuous Texas operations
- Service across all major Texas TDU areas
Gexa sits in the sweet spot between budget providers and premium brands — competitive rates with real corporate backing and green options.
If You Were a Flagship Customer
Your account was likely transferred to Atlantex Power or AE Texas. Verify your current rate.
If you valued Flagship’s rock-bottom pricing, Gexa may cost slightly more. But Gexa offers what Flagship never could: green energy options, solar buyback, and the backing of the world’s largest renewable energy company. For pure budget rates, check Discount Power or Frontier Utilities.
The Verdict
Choose Gexa Energy if you want competitive rates with green energy options, solar buyback, and NextEra’s $150B+ corporate stability behind 24 years of Texas operations.
