Gexa Energy : Plans, reviews, customer service contact in Texas

Gexa Energy is one of over 70 retail electric providers in Texas that has provided electric service to Texas customers since the market deregulated in 2002. Gexa Energy is a second-tier (granddaughter) subsidiary of NextEra Energy (based in Florida) and provides electric service to homes and businesses across Texas. Gexa Energy has an especially huge presence in cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, and Houston (based). Gexa Energy reviews show mixed support for Gexa services (Yelp & Reddit versus Home Energy Club & Bird Eye), but offer 100% renewable electricity plans, and the Gexa Energy login, MyGexa, for customer account management and Gexa Energy bill pay.

Gexa Energy : Texas

Gexa Energy in Texas offers 2 plans for new residential customers, which only include fixed rates (no variable rates or indexed rates). Gexa Energy offers very competitively priced electricity plans for new customers (albeit, short term plans). In a very competitive retail energy market, current Gexa Energy customers should still shop around when their plan ends since several negative online reviews mention higher electricity rates when plan renewal takes place.

Gexa Energy plans in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth and most cities across Texas

Across the 5 retail utility companies in Texas, Gexa Energy in Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, and across the rest of Texas, offers new customers the 100% renewable energy electricity plans:

• Gexa Choice Green 3 and 12
• Gexa Choice Secure 3, 5 and 6

All Gexa Energy plans come with a 60-day trial period. So if customers don't like the plan, Gexa Energy will allow a one-time switch to a different Gexa Energy plan, free of charge. The change will restart the contract term to the new contract's term length.

It's also worth noting that customers that want to terminate their Gexa Energy plan early (after the 60-day window or after having already changed minds and switched to a different plan) will have to pay a $150 cancellation fee.

Fixed vs Variable rates : Gexa Energy plans

A fixed rate does not change over the whole period of the contract, meaning that for the length of the contract (3, 6, 12, or 24 months) the price you pay for electricity in ¢/kWh does not change. With Texas prices fairly volatile, it's recommended choosing a fixed rate contract of (at least) 12 months, though this depends on how high or low prices are at the time of shopping for electricity.

As electricity prices per kilowatt-hour fluctuate throughout the year, and you may actually lose money by not being able to take advantage of prices when they are low. However, because electricity prices tend to increase over time, locking in fixed rates for longer periods may save some cash.

Gexa Energy does not appear to offer new customers a plan with a variable rate (generally seen in standard month-to-month plans). Instead, Gexa Energy accommodates short-term consumers with contracts containing a minimum, 3-month term.

Take advantage of a variable rate plan with the perfect electric provider! In general, variable rates are not recommendable as most customers report negative experiences with them. With prices not guaranteed or "locked-in" after the first month, variable rates can be unpredictable. There are, however, electric providers that offer a 60-day rate increase notification with a penalty-free contract cancellation.

Base Charges/Minimum Usage Fees

Base charges are flat charges that are charged every month regardless of the amount of power consumed. Minimum usage fees kick in when customer consumption is below a certain minimum monthly threshold. Depending on the plan, Gexa Energy charges a $9.95 monthly service fee for consumption under 1,000 kWh/month, or a $25 credit on consumption over 1,001 kWh/month.

Green Energy Plans

Gexa Energy only offers 100% green energy plans, where Gexa buys renewable energy credits from green energy producing companies. The electricity that is used in consumer households is not necessarily generated by a renewable resource - it's more that the money paid to Gexa Energy goes to support and finance renewable energy companies.
