Champion Energy Free Weekends Review

We’ll just cut to the chase. Champion Energy Free Weekends is the best free time plan during the weekend in Texas. Why?

Because it’s a great low price for free electricity, with average prices that are similar to their fixed price plan.

Most other retailers charge you a huge premium for their free electricity plans. Instead, Champion give you fair and balanced pricing with Free Weekends.

About Champion Energy Free Weekends Plan

• Free electricity from 12am Saturday to 11:59pm Sunday
• Assumes you use 30% of your power on weekends
• Delivery fees are passed through at cost
• Fair and balanced plan with same average rate as their fixed rate plan

Is Champion Energy Free Weekends Worth It?

If you want to try a free power plan for electricity, Champion Energy Free Weekends is worth it.

With Champion’s plans it doesn’t matter if you get Free Weekends or Champ Saver fixed rate plan. If you use power just like “most consumers,” 70% during the week and 30% during weekends, your average price is virtually the same under either plan.

That means that your risk of trying a free electricity plan with Champion Energy is low.

Best case scenario, you shift your electricity usage and pay less than the average price.

And worst case scenario? You use power just like you always do, and end up paying the same average price as if you bought their fixed price plan.

The one downside on this plan is that only energy is free, not delivery. But this means Champion isn’t loading that cost into your weekday electricity rate. Check out those plans where you get truly free including delivery. You’ll see that the weekday price is very high to collect all the fees owed to the local utility company.

As with all other free weekends plan Champion Energy Services’ Free Weekends plan is the perfect match for:

• Singles or couples with limited laundry/dishes.
• Families with older kids that can follow rules about electricity usage.
• Traveling professionals who are away all week.
• Second homes where you’re only there on the weekend

Champion Energy Solar Buyback Review

Champion Energy does not have a solar buyback plan. Instead, they offer solar buyback with every electricity plan they sell.

Your buyback is at the real time wholesale electricity rate, which changes every 15 minutes. Combine that with a low electricity price and this is a winning offer for those with solar plans.

Champion Energy Senior Discount – Champ Silver Review

For customers 60 and up, Champion offers Champ Silver, a special discount on their regular Champ Saver plan. Champion is the only Texas electricity company with a senior discount.

Champion Energy Free Nights Review

Champion Energy Free Nights was discontinued in 2020. We loved Champion Energy’s free nights plan because it was fair and balanced, just like their Free Weekends plan.

In its place, we recommend Flagship Power’s Free Nights Electricity plan, called Cruiser. This plan offers free electricity every night from 8pm to 5:59am. The average rate assumes you use 40% of your power at night when it’s free. And it’s reasonably prices for daytime usage.
