About Simple Texas Energy

Helping Texans save money on electricity, one comparison at a time.

Last updated: December 30, 2025

Our Mission

Simple Texas Energy was created to solve a simple problem: choosing an electricity plan in Texas is confusing and overwhelming. With hundreds of providers and thousands of plans that vary by ZIP code, contract length, and usage level, most Texans end up paying more than they should.

We believe electricity shopping should be transparent, simple, and honest. That's why we built a comparison tool that shows you real rates from real providers, with no hidden fees or biased recommendations.

Our mission is to empower every Texan with the information they need to make smart energy choices and save money on their electricity bills.

Why We're Different

100% Unbiased

We don't favor certain providers. Our comparison tool sorts plans by price and features, not by who pays us the highest commission.

🔍

Transparent Pricing

We show you the real cost at 500, 1000, and 2000 kWh usage levels. No gimmicks, no teaser rates, no hidden fees.

Comprehensive Coverage

We track plans across 2,000+ Texas ZIP codes from 40+ providers. If it's available in your area, we'll show it to you.

Green Energy Options

We make it easy to find 100% renewable energy plans from reputable providers. Going green shouldn't be complicated.

Our Data & Methodology

We source our electricity plan data directly from the Power to Choose API, the official comparison platform maintained by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT). This ensures accuracy and compliance with Texas energy regulations.

Our proprietary TDSP (Transmission and Distribution Service Provider) mapping system covers all deregulated Texas ZIP codes, ensuring you see plans actually available in your area. We've mapped every ZIP code to its correct utility provider (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, and TNMP).

Database updates occur every 24 hours to capture new plans, rate changes, and provider updates. We calculate effective rates at multiple usage levels (500, 1000, and 2000 kWh) to show true costs, not just advertised teaser rates.

Understanding the Texas Energy Market

Texas has a deregulated electricity market, which means you have the power to choose your electricity provider. Unlike most states where you're stuck with one utility company, Texans can shop around and switch providers as often as they like.

This competition is great for consumers—it drives prices down and gives you more options. But it also means you need to do your homework. Providers use complex pricing structures, promotional rates, and contract terms to compete for your business.

That's where we come in. We cut through the noise and show you exactly what you'll pay based on your actual usage, so you can make an informed decision.
