Texas Electricity Plans with Solar Power
The plans listed above are 100% renewable energy with RECs. However, you can also purchase plans with green energy from solar power.
Across the Texas grid, around 7% of all power produced comes from solar. When you purchase an electricity plan with Texas solar, you’re putting your money behind Texas’ new energy infrastructure.
- TXU Energy Solar Value 12 and TXU Energy Solar Saver 12 both offer 25% Texas solar.
- Chariot Energy offers plans with 100% Texas solar.
There are other solar-backed plans that have a combination of Texas and national solar RECS. (If you have your own solar panels, check out free nights electricity plans or solar buyback electricity plans.)

Frequently Asked Questions About Green Energy
Every 1 MWh (1000 kWh) of renewable power generated creates a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC). Renewable energy generators can sell the REC separately from the power they generate.
Providers purchase renewable energy certificates (RECs) from wind and solar generation facilities. When a customer enrolls in a green electricity plan, the provider retires the RECs for the corresponding amount of power that the customer uses.
Electricity Plans that are 100% renewable or 100% green energy are a mix of RECs. The energy source could be from Texas, or they could be national RECs. The RECs could be from wind, solar, biomass, or geothermal.
A solar renewable energy certificate is a REC generated exclusively through solar power, rather than from a mix of green energy sources.
Renewable energy does not actually flow to your home. But the purchase of renewable energy plans supports investment in green power in Texas
In 2023, over 33% of Texas electricity generation came from green energy resources including wind (25.9%), solar (7.2%), battery storage (.2%) and hydroelectric (.1%). In just the first half of 2025, wind, solar and battery storage produced over 40% of all power consumed.
