Gexa Energy

Gexa Energy entered the Texas market in 2002, right when deregulation began. They're now owned by NextEra Energy Resources—the world's largest producer of wind and solar energy. This isn't greenwashing; NextEra actually operates massive wind farms and solar installations that generate the power. What makes Gexa stand out: all their residential plans are 100% renewable energy, yet they consistently offer some of the lowest rates in Texas. You don't pay a premium for green energy here—you often pay less than fossil fuel competitors. Gexa's approach is simplicity. No confusing tiered structures, no gimmicky Free Nights plans. Just straightforward fixed rates with renewable energy included. For customers who want green electricity without complexity or premium pricing, Gexa is the obvious choice.

Gexa keeps things simple with two main plan types: Fixed Rate Plans: Lock in your rate for 12-24 months. Most include bill credits at 1000 kWh usage, making them even more competitive for average-usage households. Variable Rate: Month-to-month flexibility, though fixed rates are usually better value. All residential plans are 100% renewable—no need to pay extra for a "green" version.

Gexa consistently offers some of Texas's lowest electricity rates: typically 9¢ to 13¢ per kWh. That's often 15-25% below competitors like TXU and Reliant. Why are they cheaper? Gexa focuses on efficiency rather than expensive marketing and rewards programs. They don't sponsor sports teams or run TV ads. The savings pass to customers. Rate structure is simpler: Most Gexa plans are straightforward fixed rates without complicated tiers. The rate you see is close to what you'll pay. Some plans include bill credits at 1000 kWh, which can push effective rates even lower.
