Gexa Energy, LP electricity rates

It serves 259,811 residential customers, making it one of the larger utilities in Texas. Its 18.11¢ per kilowatt-hour runs 10.2% above the Texas average of 16.44¢.

Consumption here is high, 1,192 kilowatt-hours a month against a national average of 871. Long cooling seasons, large detached homes and electric resistance heating are the usual causes, and together they matter more to the bill than the rate does.

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.

Gexa Energy, LP offers time-of-use pricing to residential customers. 22,280 households were enrolled, about 8.6% 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.
