Top 3 Cheapest Energy Companies in Texas Right Now
What’s the cheapest Texas electric provider? That changes often depending on how aggressive each company is with its pricing. Here are the energy companies that currently have the cheapest fixed rate electricity offers in Texas, as of July 2025.
- Energy Texas – This fighter brand has come roaring back under new (and very experienced) management. Their 12 month contract is priced to attract new customers and a great deal. Plus they have a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
- APG&E – While not a household name, APG&E has been in business since 2004. Their 12, 13 and 36 month plans are priced to sell.
- Chariot Energy – This retail electricity provider has a parent company that’s invested in solar power, giving them access to low cost energy. That means they offer great low rates.
Those are our recommendations for companies with the best basic fixed rate offers. But if you use 1000 kWh a month, you may want to look at bill credit plans too. The cheapest plans around are listed below.
Just know that if you use more or less than 1000 kWh, your average price will be different. Find a plan that you’re interested in, then enter your zip code AND your average usage. That helps you see if this plan is for you.
ElectricityPlans is one of the only comparison shopping sites that lets you shop based on your average usage instead of 500/1000/2000. The benefit? See what you’ll actually pay for your electricity.
