Power to Choose is a website and resource provided by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) that helps Texans shop for electricity plans in deregulated areas of the state. As a Texas resident, this platform allows you to compare retail electricity providers (REPs), evaluate plans by rate, contract length, and more.
In Texas, many areas have deregulated electricity markets, meaning you're not locked into a single utility company—you can pick from dozens of providers competing for your business. Power to Choose was created to make that process transparent and consumer friendly.
While the site is legitimate, it's important to note that Power to Choose doesn't display every plan available from each REP. To find the best fit for your needs, it's a good idea to do some additional research beyond the platform.
If you’ve explored the Power to Choose website and looked at what Gexa Energy has to offer, you may have come across the Gexa Eco Choice plan—a fixed-rate electricity option available in a variety of contract lengths to suit your needs. This plan is found only on the Power to Choose website, and like our other fixed-rate plans, it offers the following benefits:
While this fixed-rate plan offers valuable benefits, it may not be the ideal choice for everyone. That’s why it’s important to explore all the plans we offer and understand their key features, so you can make the most informed decision based on your unique needs and circumstances. You can explore our full selection of energy plans—including variable-price options, usage credit plans, and more—conveniently and in detail right on our website.
Purchasing an energy plan directly through Gexa Energy’s website offers several advantages over using the Power to Choose site. While Power to Choose is a helpful starting point for comparing providers, it doesn’t always display the full range of plans each REP offers.
By going directly to Gexa’s website, you can explore a wider variety of plan options—including exclusive deals and specialized plans not listed on this third-party platform. This allows for a more personalized experience, helping you find the plan that aligns with your energy consumption and preferences. With more options and detailed plan information at your fingertips, you’re better equipped to make a confident, informed decision.
Besides the Gexa Eco Choice plan found on the Power to Choose website, we offer a variety of fixed-rate plan options to fit your needs. Look over our plan details below:
The main difference between a fixed-rate and a variable-rate energy plan lies in how the price per kilowatt-hour is set. A fixed-rate plan locks in your electricity rate for the duration of your contract, offering stability and protection from market fluctuations. In contrast, a variable-rate plan allows the price to change each month based on market conditions and other factors, which can lead to savings when rates are low but may result in higher costs during periods of high demand.
Whether a is better depends on your personal preferences and risk tolerance. A fixed-rate plan is generally better for those who value price stability and want to avoid surprises on their electric bill, especially during high-demand seasons when rates can spike. On the other hand, a variable-rate plan might be appealing if you're comfortable with fluctuating prices and want the potential to save when market rates are low.
Besides fixed-rate energy plans, Gexa offers:
