Why Go Green in Texas?
- Texas leads in wind: More wind energy than any other state
- Often the same price: Green plans aren't always more expensive
- Solar is exploding: Texas solar has grown 10x since 2019
- Nothing changes: Same outlets, same reliability, cleaner source
- Lots of options: Over 100 green plans to choose from
What Does 100% Renewable Actually Mean?
When you pick a 100% renewable plan, your provider buys electricity from wind farms, solar fields, or other clean sources instead of natural gas plants.
The electricity coming out of your outlets is the same. It all comes from the Texas grid. But your provider makes sure an equal amount of clean energy gets added to the grid to match what you use.
How it works
Providers buy Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) for every kWh you use. Each certificate proves that clean energy was added to the grid. Your usage gets matched with clean generation.
What you notice
Nothing. Same outlets, same appliances, same reliability. The only difference is where your money goes and what kind of power your usage supports.
Where Texas Green Energy Comes From
Wind (about 30% of the grid)
Texas makes more wind power than any other state. Enough to power 8 million homes. Those massive wind farms in West Texas and the Panhandle are running day and night.
Solar (about 5% and growing fast)
Texas solar has exploded recently. Big solar farms going up across West and South Texas are adding gigawatts to the grid every year.
Other sources (about 2%)
Hydro dams, biomass, that kind of thing. Smaller share in Texas, but still part of the mix.
Fun fact: Some days, wind and solar cover over half of Texas electricity demand. In spring and fall when the weather is mild, it can go even higher.
Types of Green Plans
100% Renewable Plans
Your usage gets matched with 100% clean energy through RECs. Most common type of green plan.
Partial Green Plans (20 to 50%)
Some plans are only partially renewable. Might be 20%, 30%, or 50% green. Often cheaper than going full renewable.
All-Green Providers
Companies like Green Mountain Energy only sell renewable plans. Everything they offer is 100% green by default.
Is Green Electricity More Expensive?
Usually not by much. Texas has so much wind and solar that green plans are often priced close to traditional ones. Sometimes they're actually cheaper.
Average Rates (Jan 2026)
Monthly Cost Difference
Bottom line: Going green might add $5 to $15 a month for an average home. But plenty of people find green plans that cost the same as regular ones.
Why People Go Green
Cut your carbon footprint
Average Texas home puts out 12,000+ lbs of CO2 a year from electricity. Go renewable and that drops to zero.
Support more wind and solar
When you buy green, providers build more wind and solar to meet demand. Your money actually makes a difference.
More stable prices
Wind and solar have no fuel costs. When natural gas prices spike, renewable-heavy grids are more protected.
Texas jobs
Those wind and solar farms bring jobs and money to rural Texas communities. Your electric bill helps.
Nothing changes for you
Same outlets, same reliability, same everything. You won't notice any difference except on your bill.
Easy win
If you want to do something good for the environment without changing your lifestyle, this is it.
How to Pick a Green Plan
- Filter for 100% renewable
Use the filter on our comparison tool. Check the EFL to confirm it says 100% renewable.
- Compare at your actual usage
Green plans have different pricing structures. Look at your past bills and compare at your typical monthly kWh.
- Check the contract
How long? What's the cancellation fee? Some green plans are month-to-month with no commitment.
- Look at the source
The EFL tells you if it's wind, solar, or a mix. Pick based on what you care about.
- Decide if the provider matters to you
Some people want a company that only does green (like Green Mountain). Others just want a green plan from whoever's cheapest. Both work.
Common Questions
Does 100% renewable mean all my electricity is clean?
Sort of. The actual electrons coming out of your outlet are from the shared Texas grid, which has everything. But your provider makes sure an equal amount of clean energy goes into the grid to match what you use. It's like buying organic. Your specific apple might not be organic, but your purchase supports organic farming.
Will my electricity work the same?
Yes. Zero difference. Same outlets, same reliability, same everything. You literally won't notice anything changed.
What if there's no wind or sun?
The grid always has power from multiple sources. Your lights stay on 24/7. With green plans, your annual usage gets matched with renewable generation over time, even if the exact mix at any moment varies.
Are green plans available where I live?
If you're in a deregulated part of Texas, yes. Put your ZIP code in above and we'll show you what's available.
Can I get green prepaid electricity?
Some prepaid providers have green options, but it's not common. Most 100% renewable plans need a credit check and contract.
