Shop these flat rate plans that save you more than tiered rate plans.<\/center><\/p><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who Has The Cheapest Green Houston Electricity Plans?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you think about <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">energy efficient products<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you probably associate them with paying a premium. You spend a bit more to get the warm, fuzzy feeling of helping the environment. With green energy, you don\u2019t have to pay more. Renewable energy plans are highly competitive in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texas electricity market<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Some people select renewable plans based solely on price and may never realize they consume green energy month after month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Texas Electricity Ratings<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> connects you to the cheapest green Houston electricity plans. You can <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shop for green Houston electricity<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with all the most important information right in front of you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Average Price Per kWh vs. Average Bill<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most places you see advertising electricity plans give you the average price per kWh. Texas Electricity Ratings does, too, but there\u2019s so much more here. One of the most helpful pieces of information is the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">estimated average bill amount<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shown right next to the average price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The estimated average bill calculates the average monthly bill amount for an average 1,000 kWh used per month. Some months you consume more, and others you use less. Many plans have <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tiered rates and bill credits<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that key on the 1,000 kWh threshold. If you miss this mark in some way, you could have a shocking electricity bill. And that&#8217;s why the lowest average price per kWh doesn\u2019t always mean the lowest bill.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Houston Green Electricity With The Lowest Average Bill<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The plans outlined in the table below do not have the lowest average price per kWh. However, they offer the lowest average bill for people who average 1,000 kWh per billing cycle.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Plan<\/td>\n<td>Retail Company<\/td>\n<td>Average Price Per kWh<\/td>\n<td>Average Bill<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Solarize 36<\/td>\n<td><a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies\/chariot-energy'>Chariot Energy<\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10.9 cents<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$109<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spark Green Secure 24<\/td>\n<td><a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies\/spark-energy'>Spark Energy<\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10.4 cents<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$109<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Solarize 6<\/td>\n<td>Chariot Energy<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11.0 cents<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$110<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spark Green Secure 12<\/td>\n<td>Spark Energy<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10.5 cents<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$110<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These plans have flat pricing, so even though the average price per kWh is higher, the average bill is lower.

The plans shown below have the lowest average price, but their average bills are not the lowest.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Plan<\/td>\n<td>Retail Company<\/td>\n<td>Average Price Per kWh<\/td>\n<td>Average Bill<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>GridEdge 12<\/td>\n<td>Chariot Energy<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.7 cents<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$120<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gexa Saver 12<\/td>\n<td><a href='https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies\/gexa-energy'>Gexa Energy<\/a><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7.9 cents\u00a0<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$174<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Gexa Saver Supreme 24<\/td>\n<td>Gexa Energy<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8.1 cents<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$131<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All three plans above have bill credits that kick in when your monthly usage reaches 1,000 kWh. Consume less than that, and your green Houston electricity bill will be significantly higher than you expect.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find The Cheapest Green Houston Electricity For Your Home<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing where to shop and which tools help you the most can help you save a lot of money, too.
