Good morning Texas - I just realized I had not posted one of these in a month! Sorry to anyone that was looking for an update.

Here are the cheapest Texas electricity plans on PowerToChoose.org today - click the link to copy a Google sheet to your Drive: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GkPsLg5f-vcogp3LCZYcofU-jrJcOMrLhjEY5ivmZy8/copy

As always, I've filtered out plans using this logic:

• No variable rates
• No prepaid plans
• No time-of-use plans
• No plans with minimum usage fees, tiered pricing, or bill credits
• No base charges
• No connected thermostat required
• No credit processing fees
• No charges for autopay or e-billing settings getting turned off

All of the plans in the list should be as basic as can be - just energy charge to your provider and delivery charges to your regional utility.

The most affordable providers vary by region, but here's the general list:

• True Power
• Budget Power
• Company
• Frontier
• Gexa
• BKV Energy
• Rhythm
• APG&E

Some other notes... I removed Energy Texas because those plans are duplicates of the Rhythm Energy plans. They are the same company and the plans have identical terms and pricing on PowerToChoose.

You may have seen recent post where I called out some brands for business models that rely on selling customers to other providers. I haven't removed those brands because it's your choice whether you want to deal with that. They still have good rates.

Let me know if there are any questions!

It's been about 2.5 years since Lubbock Power & Light joined the deregulated energy market.

How are y'all feeling about it so far?

Are you paying more or less than you used to for electricity?

I took the liberty of downloading all of the plans available on PowerToChoose.org and filtering out the crap to share with anyone who may be in the market for a new plan.

I removed variable rates, prepaid plans, plans with minimum usage fees or bill credits, and time-of-use plans. I also took out plans that charge you fees for paying with credit card, add fees if you don't use autopay, require a connected thermostat, or have monthly base charges.

The cheapest energy providers in Lubbock right now are:

• Gexa

Happy to answer any questions if you have any.

To further protect the members of this community, I've added a new rule to prevent repeated and spammy broker website link comments. This subreddit exists to help Texans in deregulated regions of the state find more affordable electricity plans. It does not exist to enrich the financials of brokers.

Brokers can participate by posting and commenting, but the content shared must be useful and valuable, not sales related.

As a general rule to my fellow Texans, broker websites do not have the most affordable plans. You pay a higher price per kWh because the electricity providers pay brokers per enrollment.

If you have any questions or feedback, I'm open to discussion!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Use the link above to access the list of filtered Texas electricity plans.

I removed the following plans from the list of offers from PowerToChoose.org:

• Spanish duplicates
• Variable rates
• Prepaid plans
• Plans with minimum usage fees
• Plans with gimmicky bill credits
• Plans with base charges
• Plans with setup/bundle fees
• Plans with credit card processing fees
• Plans with fees for no autopay
• Plans that require a connected thermostat

We're left with plans that only include the Energy Charge and the TDU Delivery Charge.

The cheapest energy providers vary by region, but this week they are:

• Companion
• Frontier
• Gexa
• Rhythm
• BKV Energy
• Constellation
• Budget
• APG&E
• True Power

All of these providers offer straightforward plans and whichever you choose, the bills would only vary by a few dollars depending on the term length.

As always, let me know if there are any questions.
