Gexa Energy offers a range of electricity plans in Richardson to accommodate different lifestyles, home sizes, and monthly usage patterns. Since every household uses electricity differently, comparing plan features can help you choose an option that aligns with your energy habits and budgeting preferences.
A fixed-rate plan keeps your energy charge more consistent throughout your contract term, helping provide greater predictability from month to month. This type of plan is often selected by Richardson customers who prioritize pricing stability over the life of their agreement.
Usage credit plans provide a bill credit (like $50 or $75) when your monthly electricity usage reaches a qualifying threshold, such as 1,000 kWh. Households with relatively medium to high, steady monthly electricity usage can often benefit from this pricing structure. Keep in mind that the bill credit disappears if you do not use enough electricity each month.
Free electricity plans include designated periods when electricity usage is not billed at the standard energy charge. Gexa offers a Free Weekends plan where energy and delivery charges are $0 during the specified hours. If your household can shift more electricity usage into those promotional hours, these plans may offer added value. It's important to note that energy charges outside the promotional period are generally higher, and additional billed charges may still apply.
Select Gexa Energy plans include smart thermostats and energy optimization features that help you monitor and manage household electricity usage. Through the Gexa Energy mobile app and Gexa MyAccount, you can adjust thermostat settings, review energy usage, and manage your account from wherever you are.
If your Richardson home has a solar system, you can receive bill credits each month for the eligible excess energy your panels return to the main power grid. This can help you receive more value from your solar system while helping offset some energy charges.
Electric vehicle (EV) charging plans are designed to support households that regularly charge at home. They offer an energy charge credit when you charge your EV during specific overnight hours to make home charging more affordable. However, you may still have to pay any TDU charges and other applicable fees during the promotional hours.
A variable-price plan has an energy charge that can change month to month based on current energy market conditions. This option offers flexibility without a long-term contract, although budgeting can be more difficult. They can be a good option for Richardson residents who need short-term power or want to avoid a contract.
Flat rate plans have a consistent monthly energy charge when your electricity usage stays within a specified usage limit. If your usage exceeds that limit, additional energy charges apply to the extra kilowatt-hours you use. This type of plan may be a good fit for smaller homes or households with predictable electricity usage.
In Richardson, electricity bills are primarily shaped by:
Air conditioning during Richardson's warm summers, heating needs, home size, insulation, and appliance efficiency all contribute to monthly electricity consumption.
Occupancy, remote work equipment, electric vehicle charging, entertainment systems, and other high-energy appliances can increase electricity usage.
Fixed-rate plans, variable-price plans, usage credits, and free electricity periods all calculate energy charges differently.
Regulated TDU delivery charges are included in your monthly energy charges regardless of which REP you choose.
Estimated electricity bills in Richardson can vary based on seasonal energy use and the current price of your selected plan. Using Gexa's average available price of 16.6¢/kWh, the estimated average monthly electricity bill in Richardson is $165.59. For a typical home, the average monthly bill is approximately $199, while apartment residents typically pay around $123 per month. This equals estimated annual electricity costs of $2,386 for a home and $1,473 for an apartment.
A typical Richardson home's bill ranges from about $113 in Feb to $350 in Jul. For an apartment, bills range from $92 in Nov to $164 in Jul.
*The chart uses live plan pricing and seasonal usage data to provide a more accurate estimate than a static annual average. Estimates are modeled using Gexa's average available rate at 1,000 kWh and typical seasonal usage patterns. Actual bills will vary based on electricity usage, plan selection, and applicable TDU delivery charges.
Choosing an electricity plan doesn’t have to be stress-inducing. Use the following tips to match the plan structure to how your Richardson home uses energy, so you can find an option that meets your unique needs.
Think about how your household uses electricity throughout the year. Apartment living, single-family homes, remote work schedules, electric vehicle charging, and seasonal cooling needs can all influence which type of electricity plan may best fit your home. Reviewing your average monthly electricity usage before shopping can help narrow your options and make comparisons more effective.
While energy rates are important, it's also helpful to compare each plan's overall structure. Contract length, pricing model, bill credits, and promotional features can all affect your monthly energy charges depending on how your household uses electricity. Before signing up, review the EFL for each plan. It explains how pricing works, identifies recurring charges, and outlines any usage requirements or plan-specific features so you can better compare plans.
REPs, like Gexa Energy, supply electricity, manage your account, and provide customer support. They also handle billing, design electricity plans, and set their own rates.
