What if I am in an area with limited plan choices?
If you're served by a smaller utility like Lubbock Power & Light or TNMP, plan availability may be lower. We still compare what's available, find the best option for you, and let you know if competitive rates exist in your area.
Why is my electricity bill so high?
A high electricity bill can result from many different factors, including increased energy usage, a gimmicky electricity plan, or weather changes. In Texas, electricity rates fluctuate daily, and if you're not in a competitive plan, you could be paying way more than necessary.
Can Energy Ogre guarantee savings on electricity in Texas?
No, Energy Ogre cannot guarantee savings for every household. However, our service is designed to consistently find and maintain the best available plan for your specific usage while saving you time by fully managing the process on your behalf.
How does the Savings Calculator work?
The Energy Ogre Savings Calculator is a tool that estimates how much you could save on electricity by comparing your current costs to what you might pay with a more optimized Texas electricity plan. Using details from your recent electricity bill, the calculator estimates your usage, calculates your current cost, compares Texas electricity plans, and identifies the top ten best options for your home. From there, you can enroll with Energy Ogre, and let us manage the rest.
What is the average electricity bill in Texas?
According to an Energy Ogre report from May 2026, the average Texas electricity bill depends on the type of home. Here is a chart that shows the average electricity bill for Texas homes, apartments, and “all dwellings.”

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-Family Home | $311 | $229 | $82 | $974 |

How much money can I save by switching electricity providers in Texas?
Savings vary based on your utility area, home size, and usage, but Energy Ogre members save an average of $954 per year. The best way to see your personalized number is to run the Savings Calculator—it compares your current plan against the best available plans in your specific market.
What's the cheapest electricity plan in Texas right now?
There is no single "cheapest" plan—the lowest-cost option depends on your utility zone and how much electricity you actually use, and rates change daily. A plan that's cheapest for a low-usage apartment may be expensive for a high-usage home. Energy Ogre continuously monitors the market and enrolls you in the plan with the lowest total cost for your specific usage.
