Shell Energy (formerly MP2 Energy) is a name that you may recognize from their gas stations. But you may not know that Shell Energy is also a major player in the Texas electricity market. They’ve owned MP2 Energy for a number of years. And effective June 2022, MP2 Energy became Shell Energy.
Effective October 22, 2024, Shell Energy has temporarily suspended all new enrollments. Their future in the Texas electricity market is unclear. We recommend that you compare your Shell Energy renewal offer to published rates. Don’t renew without shopping!

Shell Energy Electricity Plans in Texas
Shell offered fixed rate electricity plans for your home that are 100% renewable energy, or you can choose traditional energy. Our review of Shell’s electricity plans including EV Charging program and Solar Buyback are below.
Electric Vehicle Charging Program
Shell’s EV Charging Program was one of the first EV plans in Texas. Since most drivers do 80% of their EV charging at home, it’s important to get the best electricity plan for your electric vehicle.
This program offers a time of use electricity plan. You’ll get free electricity from midnight to 3am daily, both weekdays and weekends. If you schedule your EV to charge during that time period, you’ll have free electricity for your EV.
During all other times, you’ll have a competitive fixed electricity rate that’s backed with 100% renewable energy. It’s the best of both worlds — free electricity to charge your EV, and green energy for your home.
Or compare their rates to other EV charging electricity plans.
100% Renewable Plan Fixed Rate Plan
Shell manages multiple solar and wind facilities in Texas and has access to regionally-sourced wind and solar in addition to renewable energy certificates. You can sign up for their 100% Renewable Plan and feel good about buying green energy that’s competitively priced.
