Ambit Energy Holdings, LLC electricity rates

It serves 360,476 residential customers, making it one of the larger utilities in Texas. At 18.77¢ per kilowatt-hour it is among the more expensive utilities in Texas, 14.2% above the statewide average of 16.44¢.

Consumption is close to the national norm at 950 kilowatt-hours a month against 871, so the rate translates fairly directly into the bill.

Sells electricity in a state with retail choice. The local wires company still delivers the power and bills separately for that. That matters because a bill is not only the cost of generating electricity: it also carries the cost of the network, and who owns that network changes how it is paid for.

Ambit Energy Holdings, LLC offers time-of-use pricing to residential customers. 16,517 households were enrolled, about 4.6% of its residential base.

These plans are opt-in almost everywhere. They reward households that can move laundry, dishwashing, water heating or electric vehicle charging out of the late-afternoon peak, and they cost more than the standard rate for households that cannot. How to tell which group you are in.
