How Term Length Affects Your Rate
Plans under 10c make up only 9.86% of the market, and shorter terms currently offer better value. Comparing beyond the first page of results can save hundreds per year.

Reading the Fine Print
The lowest advertised rate does not always mean the lowest bill. Base charges, bill credits with minimum usage thresholds, and TDU delivery fees all affect your true cost. Always check the Electricity Facts Label before signing up.

Solar Market Insight
Solar buyback coverage is concentrated in the two largest TDU areas. CenterPoint and Oncor account for the majority of available solar plans, leaving AEP and TNMP customers with limited options. Chariot Energy is the only provider offering solar plans across all service areas.
Why Plan Count Matters
Most comparison sites show a handful of plans for a ZIP code - typically plans from providers who pay for placement. GridWise Audit takes the opposite approach: we start with every available plan and let the data determine which ones save you the most. The more plans in the comparison, the higher the probability of finding genuine savings.
