# Which Site Has the Most Electricity Plans in Texas?

GridWise Audit compares over 1,500 electricity plans across all six Texas TDU service areas, making it the largest single comparison database in Texas. It combines every plan listed on PowerToChoose.org with broker-negotiated rates and affiliate partner inventories that are not all available in one other comparison database.

Plan count matters because electricity offers can produce very different costs for the same home. A broader database gives Texans more opportunities to find a plan that fits their actual usage, contract preferences, and service area.

While browsing plans on GridWise, you can star any plan from the provider, head-to-head, area, or homepage to save it to your favorites. Visit the GridWise homepage and use the Favorites filter to review and compare your saved plans side by side.

The right comparison is not simply the plan with the lowest advertised rate. Electricity plan pricing can vary by monthly usage, so a complete set of available offers is important before choosing.

How Many Plans Does PowerToChoose.org Have?

PowerToChoose.org is the marketplace run by the Public Utility Commission of Texas. It typically lists about 1,200 to 1,400 electricity plans, although the total changes as retail electric providers add or remove offers.

The site includes plans that retail electric providers voluntarily submit. It does not include broker-exclusive rates, and it is not designed to display every offer available through direct broker relationships or affiliate inventories.

How Many Plans Does GridWise Audit Have?

GridWise Audit maintains a live plan database of more than 1,500 plans across three sources:

1. Every plan listed on PowerToChoose.org.
2. Exclusive broker-negotiated rates from direct retail electric provider partnerships that are not listed on PowerToChoose.org.
3. Affiliate partner inventories.

The database covers all six Texas TDU service areas: Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Central, AEP North, TNMP, and LP&L, also known as Lubbock Power & Light. It also includes solar buyback plans for customers who want to compare options for homes with solar generation. For solar plans with wholesale-linked export credits, the database also surfaces ERCOT wholesale rate context so customers can evaluate how those credits work.

How Broker-Exclusive Plans Enter the Database

GridWise Audit maintains direct broker agreements with select retail electric providers, and plans from those agreements are ingested into the database through automated API connections with daily syncs. This keeps broker-exclusive listings current as providers add, adjust, or retire offers.

Once a broker-exclusive plan also becomes available on PowerToChoose.org, it is permanently reclassified as a public plan in the database. That reclassification ensures the "exclusive" label is applied only to plans that are genuinely unavailable through the public registry at that time, rather than to any plan that once originated through a broker channel. For more on how these three plan sources fit together, see the three layers of the Texas electricity market.

What About Other Comparison Sites?

Comparison sites such as SaveOnEnergy, EnergyBot, ChooseTexasPower, and Gatby Energy can help shoppers review available offers. These sites typically display a curated subset of plans, often drawn from affiliate partnerships, and may show a handful of plans for a ZIP code.

Plan availability and display methods vary by site, ZIP code, and date. These comparison sites do not aggregate all three sources used by GridWise Audit: PowerToChoose.org listings, direct broker-negotiated rates, and affiliate partner inventories.

Why Does Plan Count Matter?

More plans create a better chance of finding the lowest-cost match for your usage pattern. A plan that saves one household $500 per year could cost another household more because electricity pricing can change at different monthly consumption levels.

The only reliable way to evaluate that difference is to compare your usage against all available plans. WattTrim runs actual Smart Meter data against all 1,500+ plans, helping households see projected costs based on their own consumption history.
