Best Gexa Energy Plans as reviewed by Texas Electricity Ratings

Plan Name Plan Rating and Review

Gexa Saver Freedom 36

(5 / 5 Stars)

learn more

Gexa's Freedom Saver 36 is a predictable plan that delivers a predictable bill, which is something a lot of Texans want most out of an electricity plan. That being said, the energy charge is high,and overall the plan is on the higher end of the electricity plan market. That being said, the rates across the usage tiers are consistent, so you won't have any bill shocks from one month to the next, and there's no bill credits that could trip you up if you didn't meet the requirements either. For folks who just want to pay a consistent bill, this plan is a solid option.

Gexa Eco Saver Value 12

(3 / 5 Stars)

learn more

Gexa's Eco Saver Value 12 plan is a bill credit, fixed rate electricity plan. The bill credit, which is $75, kicks in at 750 kWh of usage. This makes it a good plan for high-usage apartment folks and smaller homeowners. Larger home-owners that use a ton of electricity won't feel much, if any, bill savings because the energy charge on the plan is extremely high. For the environmentally friendly people, they'll like to hear that this plan is 100% made up of environmentally friendly energy sources, like solar and wind power.

Gexa EV Saver 24

(3 / 5 Stars)

learn more

Gexa's EV Saver 24 is a solid electric vehicle charging plan with a low energy charge, but it's complicated to use. For starters, customers have to download and tie a Gexa app to their charging vehicle. Additionally, only certain vehicles qualify for this plan. And third, the plan only credits the specific energy used for discounting the vehicle, which is why you sync to an app. Most other EV plans just give customers a window of free electricity during nighttime hours, which includes all appliances in the home. This plan only rebates the vehicle charging electricity during the nighttime window. So...it's complicated. But the energy charge is pretty good, so it's not a bad plan. But there is a lot of moving parts.

Gexa Eco Saver Advantage 12

(3 / 5 Stars)

learn more

Gexa's Eco Saver Advantage 12 is yet another of Gexa'scarefully curated bill credit plans. The bill credit starts at 1,500 kWh of usage, which means you have to be certain you'll use a lot of electricity each month to ensure you get the credit, otherwise your bills will be pretty high becuase the energy charge on this plan is high. So basically big homeowners, or medium homeowners with a heated pool. The plan also has 100% green energy, which matters a lot to some Texans. No monthly recurring charge is also nice.

Gexa Eco Saver Lite 12

(2 / 5 Stars)

learn more

Gexa's Eco Saver Lite 12 is a good plan for folks living in an apartment. The $50 bill credit kicks in at 500 kWh of monthly usage, which is a pretty easy bar for most people in an apartment to clear. That's the good news. The bad news is that the energy charge on this plan is way over the market rates, so the further a customer gets away from that bill credit, the more the monthly bills will balloon. Homeowners should stay away. The perfect customer is someone in an apartment or condo that uses between 500 and 800 kWh per month.

I am old and use very little electricity per month, normally about 650 to 800 in summer and 300 to 400 in winter. (gas heat) So the gexa low usage plan with the $40 rebate was excellent! ($40 rebate for usage between 500 and 1000kwh) Very low electric bills all summer! But now that the AC is off, my usage dropped below 500. The $40 rebate disappears! So my bill for 450 kwh was almost double my last month's bill for 600kwh! YIKES! The Gexa gotcha! Here's what to do: In the winter time when you are not using the AC, use an electric space heater enough to bring your bill to the 500 kwh threshold. Then switch to your gas heat to save even more! The main thing is to monitor your usage and make sure that for your billing cycle you are always as close to just over 500kw as possible to get the best monthly deal. Other than that, Gexa has been excellent in all respects. Seems dumb to have to use more electricity to get a lower bill!

I had never been able to choose an electricity provider before, so I was a little uncertain how it would work out when I first chose Gexa in October 2015 when we moved to the area. I was paying 15.0/6.9/8.4 with a $40 bill credit for >999 or <2001 kwh. We are coming up on the end of our 1 year contract, and I received an email from Gexa to review plans. I opened it and then also opened the comparison website that shows all other companies. Not only did the renewal rates beat what Gexa was offering on the comparison website, it far and away beat all the other companies at 12.8/5.7/8.2 with a $60 credit for any month between 1001-2000kwh (which is where we stay).We have had zero issues with billing or service - and customer service has always responded to my messages promptly and courteously. Can't ask for more than that!

Gexa is the best energy company we have used. We use less than 1000 kwh per month (500 on average) and they give us a credit of $25 each month for that. Sometimes our bill is even negative and is subtracted from the next month's bill. I thought for sure it was just a ploy to get new customers and it wouldn't be renewable, but I just renewed our plan, and our net charge for using about 500 kwh is now around 3 cents!! We are paying about 8 cents minus a $40 credit! In the past our electricity bills have been around $100 in the summer, but now in the summer (in Texas - it's 90 - 110 degrees Fahrenheit every day) it's usually around $40 or $50 :) Also, they are always so nice on the phone and I have never had to wait on hold. Keep it up, Gexa.

I don't typically write these things, but since I feel more people will take the time to slam a company online, I thought I would give a thumbs up. When shopping for power in Houston, I always use powertochoose,org and for the second time in the past 5 years or so, Gexa came up as the most competitive supplier. The sign up process was flawless, and when I had a question about my first bill, customer service was there to answer my question and clear the confusion. Read the Facts Label and you will find their fees to be very competitive.

Every company will have complaints. Some customers don't read the fine print of contracts, so they get caught unaware when something unexpected comes along. The key to a good customer experience is to be your own best advocate and read everything. Sometimes terms are only mentioned once. If you don't understand something, ask the company and ask someone you trust who knows what's what.

We use balance billing. That means we pay the same each month. I have had decreases. I have had increases. But at least I have a set amount to fit into my budget. I know what to expect. That comes from a good relationship with the company...meaning I pay my bills on time (about a week prior to the due date). If you do the same, you will reap the benefit.

For full disclosure, all the promo codes you see on these review sites are ones provided specifically for each customer after they have signed up. It is a referral code. It helps me, the customer. It helps you, the future customer. I hope you will accept my honesty about it and use it.

I joined Gexa last year around this time for their new customer promo of 9.1 cents inclusive of TDU and $4.95 base charge. I loved Gexa. Not a single problem with billing or bill paying. I pay online via Discover card. The only problem I have had was that I had to switch after the promo 12 month contract was over. Their rates jumped .02 and I was getting better promo offers from other companies. After I switched, Gexa cut off my ability to pay my last bill online so I had to mail a check. I was worried about this but after 7 business days, I saw the payment credited since they still allowed me to view my bill online. Customer service is polite and up front about everything. No silly cash back gimmicks, just a low rate. I wish so much that I could have stayed with Gexa since it is so well run but their renewal plans were all too high. I went with Cirro this time for 12 month 9.6 rate. Not as good as I had with Gexa but the best my research could find.

Also have enjoyed a very low total rate of 9.1 cents/kwh plus $10/mon customer charge on a 12-month fixed plan expiring in June 2010. We'll see whether they continue to offer attractive rates when the current plan expires, and how cooperative they might be if I choose to change providers. Thumbs up so far.

I have had nothing but a wonderful experience with Gexa. I signed up with them last year on a fixed contract plan at a good rate. It carried me through crazy summer. My contract recently expired and they sent me a nice letter reminding me that my contract was expiring and I was eligible to renew. I compared their rates to others and found Gexa to have really low rates for their fixed contracts. Regardless of rate, their customer service has been awesome and always helpful if I have a question. I highly recommend Gexa to anyone looking for a solid electricity company.

As far as pricing and hook up goes they are pretty average, but what has me writing this review is how they have handled the Texas grid issues during this stupid winter storm. While other companies are gouging their customers, Gexa suspended billing and disconnections for people so they could be taken care of during our states stupid power issues. A lot of people lost power, including us, but that want gexas fault, it was Oncors and I think they handled the people well and kept their customer base as well taken care of as they could. Im thankful for this and I know a lot of other Texans are too.

My electric plan was up for renewal and after shopping around I found that Gexa had rates that were about half the cost of what I was paying with another provider. My summer electricity bill dropped from about $300 a month to $150 for a 2400sqft house. Setting up service and managing my account has been easy using the Gexa website. I always set up auto pay so I don't have to remember to pay my bill every month.Shop around for the best rates when looking for a new provider and always read the EFL!! Dec 2015 Update: My contract was up for renewal and I compared all the plans out there. Gexa Choice Select 6 was the best value for me so I renewed with Gexa. While renewing online I had a question so I called Gexa and a customer service rep answered right away and they were able to answer my question. Very happy with Gexa!

Have had Gexa multiple times - 3 - with no problems. Only reason I change is to look for better rate, new contract, or more renewable content in the generation. They have been exactly as advertised, notified of contract end date. Their new customer rates are very low, with renewal rates about double. If you can manage the company switch at the end of every contract period, they have caused me no problems.

And this one is changing. I think I've been with Gexa for about 18 months. Originally signed up on a good promotional plan and then renewed at rates similar to that plan. Have been getting emails urging me to "buy now" even though my term wasn't up for 3 or 4 months before I started getting the renewal email blasts. Their rate increase was about 23%. Moving to another provider, my rate will increase -- but only about 5%. I'm not sure but I think we have the Texas legislators to thank for the Power to Choose and an easy to use website to compare rates. I have overpaid my electric bill by hundreds of dollars. I'll be back on here if I don't get a prompt refund of that overpayment. As far as service, it's been flawless (except for Oncor's outages every now and then). Haven't had to deal with customer service. Soooo -- if you can get a good rate from Gexa, I would go for it. I can't so I'm switchin' (but it won't be to TXU who shafted us all on rates for years).

I've been with Gexa for two years with no problems. At renewal I shopped rates and found lower rates. I read the reviews on providers offering lower rates and saw lots of dissatisfied customers and problems with billings, etc. I spoke to a Gexa rep and explained that I would like to stay but would like to see better rate. I was offered a discounted loyal customer rate which brought them close to the competitive lower rates. When I compared annual costs between Gexa and the lower rate offers, I would end up paying $65 more annually to stay with Gexa. Because their service has been satisfactory and reliable, I decided that was worth paying a bit more.

The second go around, I asked if I can get service without having to provide my SSN, they said, just give us a letter of credit from your current provider that you have never been late and you are in good standing with them. As soon as I did, they switch process was a breeze, didn't even feel it! Most of the people who left negative reviews, have been charged with late payment fees and ofcourse they are bitter about it!

I have been with Gexa for 3 years now. I just added my 2nd house to my account. For tax reasons I need 2 bills. Well Gexa felt the need to take a payment from my primary house, and applied it to House 2. So that left the main account short...late fees, disconnect notice and hit on my credit report. They fixed it... and waved all kinds of fees for the fast connect on the 2nd home. The same issue has happened 2 more times, but they are great about fixing it... but 3 disconnect notices and the time to fix it is a pain. I would still recommend them to anyone, but stay on top of them with the billing... it could take up to 3 months to fix. And make sure you contact them when your contract is almost out of date, or you might get a bit of a jolt when your rate goes up..mine went from $0.11 KWH to over $0.19 KWH. Gexa fixed it but it took 3 months to get my $392 back.

Editor's Note:

Delivery charges on your Texas electricity bill are an unfortunate reality of the deregulated market. Every provider you purchase electricity from has to pay these charges to the Texas companies that maintain the poles and wires. In the past, some retailers rolled all those charges up into the energy charge, but most list it separately.

I took my time to understand how all the charges are calculated and still Gexa got me. Maybe it's because of their contracts with the specific provider in my area, but I paid more than double of any other electricity plan in the last 5 years.

I called Gexa and they moved me to a new plan that fit my budget better but I still owed that large bill and had I known this at the start I would not have picked Gexa as my provider.

I choose Gexa due to the fact they were advertising a 8.5Kw pricing which is what I signed up for. What was not explained in the marketing material that was for only those users who were under 1000Kw monthly. Instead I received a bill for 12.5kw for the month. When I called to inquire as to billing issue, I was told because I had exceed the monthly usage I had to pay the higher rate. I then asked to find a better rate, and was provided a better rate, I asked that it be applied to the currently billing period which was denied. So I end up paying 2 periods at 12.5kw when this was not what I thought I had signed up for nor able to change.

Well, I thought I had found a company to stick with. Easy sign-up, great rates, auto billing and online account access was a breeze. But, when renewal time comes around, the specific plans they offer you are nowhere near your current plan. I expected my plan to go up, but even the best renewal plan was double my current plan based on my 12 months of usage. Isn't it easier to keep a customer than replace a customer??? Can't you just give me a plan that you're offering new customers? If not, I switch, and that's what I ended up doing. You aren't like Spectrum or AT&T - there's plenty of competition and you can't just double the rates without someone noticing. Doesn't make sense to just hope you get someone to renew at a doubled rate and then deal with the complaints, reviews, bad references, etc. Why not just give your existing customers a decent renewal rate and not have to compete as hard for new ones?

I called customer service and the budged down to 9.5 but based on 2,000 kwh that is still 9.9 per kwh in my usage range. I finally decided to go with trieagle and I guess we'll see.

I have had Gexa since 2008, but they obviously are not concerned about keeping customers since the rate to renew is higher than for a new customer to join. Wouldn't you want to keep a customer who always pays the bills? I would recommend the company to a new customer. I've never had issues with billing or customer service, and questions have always been promptly answer. When my contract was up, they contacted me several times to let me know and to try to get me to sign another, but there were much better deals elsewhere.

I found gexa after another 'no name' supplier went bust. They've been okay for the most part, I get air miles by paying with credit card and Gexa also give me airmiles. I can pay online and their website now has a better way to download the bill as a PDF.

My main problem was I autopay with credit card each month. Normally it is no problem., just go to a web site and update the info. Gexa want you to call them and try getting somebody to answer in under 10 minutes. Sure they have a call back system. However, it came time to update the expiry date for my new card, no new number just the expiry date. Gexa charged my card and it was declined. After always paying on time since I moved to Texas 12 years ago I appear to be on their 'loser' list as my renewal notice has left me feeling they no longer want my business. So it took me a call or 2 to have the late charge reversed, but it looks like I'll be leaving gexa soon.

Signing up was very easy. Details of pricing were misleading. I had no basis for estimating my energy consumption moving into a new house. Imagine my surprise when I was socked with $.28 cents per kWh. The energy charge was for 999 kWh - if I had consumed one more kWh I would have jumped into a much lower rate. This company also hides the TDU delivery charge. Looking through the fine print it is clear. I have switched my plan after one month. It will cost me far less to pay the charge for breaking the contract and turning to a new provider than trying to game the categories that GEXA sets. I have no desire to consume more energy than is needed.

If you are thinking about signing a contract with Gexa, make sure you read the fine print. The way that Texas electric companies work is deliberately confusing, and that's how they lock you into expensive contracts.This will likely not be an issue if you are first signing with Gexa. They offer fantastic deals for people who first sign up, and they advertise their rates for new users correctly. However, when it's time to renew, you need to be careful.If you are offered a contract at an average rate of 9 cents /kWh, for example, then you need to open the EFL (Electric Facts Label) and check the energy charge. If it says something MUCH higher than 9 cents, then you need to look elsewhere. The way that it works is that they advertise a low average rate because of a discount they apply to your account if you hit exactly the right number of kWh. For instance, if it says that your plan is 9 cents/kWh at 500 kWh, then the ACTUAL energy charge might be closer to 15 cents/kWh, but Gexa will give you a fifty dollar discount if you hit 500kWh. If you don't hit 500kWh, then you don't get the discount, and you might actually pay MORE money, even when using HALF the amount of electricity. Additionally, if you use more than 500kWh, you'll still get the discount, but your rate will still average out at much higher. The average rate is only 9 cents if you literally use 500kWh.For complete transparency, here is a breakdown of the amount of energy I used per month with Gexa and how much it cost me. Contract 1 with Gexa - This plan was advertised at an average rate of 6 cents/kWh, and I was extremely happy with it. (The actual rate before fees was 3 cents/kWh.)404 kWh = $34.51403 kWh = $34.44318 kWh = $28.24413 kWh = $35.38578 kWh = $41.88364 kWh = $27.95578 kWh = $41.88364 kWh = $27.95597 kWh = $41.77537 kWh = $39.46Contract 2 with Gexa. This contract was advertised at 9 cents/kWh. They used deceptive tactics here. It's actually 15 cents/kWh but comes out to 21 cents/kWh with fees. They give you a 50 dollar credit if you use 500kWh. As you can see, using between 350-499 kWh will absolutely destroy you. 552 kWh = $58.39383 kWh = $82.91 (!!!!!!)557 kWh = $66.53262 kWh = $57.94I stupidly trusted Gexa after my first year went smoothly, and I regret renewing a contract with them. If this review makes it to ANYONE before they make the same mistake that I made, I'll be happier. I might cancel my contract and move to another company. I am still waiting to hear back from them.

I have been a Gexa customer for several years at my primary residence and loved their prices and service. For that reason, I decided to use them at my rental house for the last three years. When I called to renew my rental house contract last year, the rep said that I would "save a lot of money" by being on the Free Nights and Free Weekends plan - so I gladly signed up since it is a rental house and I'm trying to keep costs lower. My electric bills increased by about $75 more per month. Needless to say I was not happy. I called today to renew my contract hoping to get a better deal since I am a loyal customer with TWO separate accounts with Gexa. For that reason you would think they would be working hard to keep me. Nope!!! The rep said, "the best I can do is 9.9 cents per KWh from Gexa, plus a 4.9 cents per KWh from AEP provider, plus $4.90 per month base charge for the plan. . I asked the rep, "that's still a lot higher than my primary residence. Is that the best you can do because I can find another company that will beat that?" He says, "that's the cheapest plan." I told him, "then I guess I'm calling another company for a cheaper price." He said, "ok, thank you for calling and being a customer."

It was my mistake that I cancelled my account a month too early, March 10 instead of April 10. Gexa saw fit to charge me a cancellation fee of $153.00, per the terms and conditions of the contract which they were quick to point out to me. When I asked if they could do anything about the excessive cancellation fee they were also quick to point out to me, again, the terms and conditions of the cancellation fee. It would appear Gexa has no desire to work with it's customers and I would suggest you shop elsewhere.

Set up was easy. I used a third party that was able to show the difference in price based on my needs and situation. I looked at reviews at the time both good and bad. The bad reviews were about customer service which I thought was subjective and situational. That was until I had to deal with customer service. I was moving to a new area where they could not provide service. When taking to their agents, I felt like I was talking to those guys that are running a telephone scam. We agreed on the phone that I was moving out at the end of the month and that I would not be going to a month to month contract. Not only did they not turn my power off at the end of the month, I put me automatically in a month to month. I had not missed a bill up to this point. However, with all the emails involved in buying a new home for the first time, I missed my last bill with Gexa which caused them to turn off my power after 14 days into the new month during the COVID pandemic. Makes me wonder about others that could not afford to pay their bills. My new bill had charges for the last month, new month to month, and disconnection. I told them on the phone that I want my final bill to pay and be done with it. After disagreeing on whether or not I should pay for a reconnection fee in order to pay my bill, we agreed that I will pay my last month and the disconnection fee and they would rebate the month to month. Finally, they said that my last bill will be a zero balance. My last bills arrives with fees for the month to month time. With a different agent, they stated that the first agent was wrong even though that agent alleged talked a a supervisor. However, this agent was going to rebate $25 for my inconvenience. This turned out to be a lie as the agent never rebated the $25. So I paid the amount as my time is more important and the cost was too small to deal with in court. Last thought, customer service will do whatever it takes to get you off the phone to include lying to you. Where I saved two dollars a month for the year over another plan for a total of $24, I paid just over $75 in unnecessary charges in order to cancel my service. I only got the lower monthly price with them over other companies because of their veteran plan.

For the love of God do not sign up for budget billing youre basically using Gexa like a credit card and only paying a little amount of your actual bill if you stay within your kilowatts. So they keep that remaining balance only to charge you the second you shut off service. We were forced to move back home (Florida) when my office in Houston closed. I woke up to an email that my checking account was -$500 I check it and find that Gexa decided to take out what I owed them which was $800. After being on the phone with their customer service I got a sweet paper check for $100 for the confusion on how budget billing worked. ITS A SCAM. DO NOT USE IT.

I just signed up for Gexa. Supposed to be very cheap. For about 1200 sq ft, my first summer bill was $151.00 and my second one was $375.00!! Ouch! So the plan I have takes off $100.00 if you use between 1000-2000 kw. I used 2063.. so yes, that was over 2000. But this is July, and instead of a mont to month cycle, they used 33 days this cycle. Its up to them if they want to use anywhere from 28 days to 33 days. Beware of this. I just believe it is unethical when they can use fluctuations of the amount of days. I did call and questioned this and they gave me $25.00 off. The customer service rep talked very fast was very hard to understand. I am so tired of computerized care from these companies, it takes you a 20 minutes for a real person to come on and then you strain to understand every word. So funny when you call to set up service, you get to talk to an easy to understand American.. but once youre under contract!! Its so very frustrating!! And its amazing how vivid 19 effects the service of every company! My rant!!

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW BEFORE SELECTING GEXA AS YOUR ELECTRICITY PROVIDER!Last week, after regularly paying my bills throughout my contract to date, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 6-year-old diabetic child at home dependent on refrigerated insulin, Gexa cut off my electricity for missing a payment by 17 days. Do I deny missing the payment? No. Was I sufficiently warned of the impending potential disaster? No. Here is the time table.My payment was due May 15, 2020 (I freely admit I missed the payment as a result of an oversight on my part). On May 19, 2020 Gexa noted as mailed to me a DISCONNECTION NOTICE stating they would disconnect my electricity on the first business day on or after May 29, 2020. A disconnection notice generated four days after the payment was due; a huge red flag of customer service driven my mercenary corporate policies. The notice arrived at my home on Monday, May 25, 2020. Blissfully unaware of the impending disaster, I waited to open the letter until my normal bill paying Saturday which was May 30, 2020. As Friday, May 29, 2020 was a business day and my electricity was still running, it was clearly apparent Gexa had not followed the terms of their notice and had humanely taken into account the worldwide disruption precipitated by COVID-19 and was giving me some slack. MAN, WAS I WRONG! On that Saturday AM I scheduled a payment in full to be sent June 1, 2020 and received by Gexa on June 3, 2020 (per my bank, which is solidly reliable). On Monday, June 1, 2020, Gexa cut off my electricity. Ten business days after my payment due date slightly over two weeks! UNBELIEVABLE!My child, thankfully, never realized the potential danger. However, the damage was done. The ruthless commerciality of Gexa, for the sake of $122.97, had HAD put my childs life at risk.A one-star review is too high for Gexa.

I went with them because I thought it was the cheapest. Turns out the $40 off if you reach 500 Kwh is not actually cheap (1 bedroom apartment commonly reached $80 where on my old plan was closer to $50/$60 for the same place). But that is on me for choosing that plan. When I moved they tried to charge me for leaving the contract early despite the move (other companies just ask for a forwarding address and that is it - I have never had an issue with a different company). The customer service is just a pain. I have been emailing for weeks (after calling twice waiting over an hour each time to get this taken care of) to just get them to correct the new address. They wrote the state twice (once right between the main address) and wrote the city twice two different ways. It was not some tragic horrible experience but there are so many choices for electricity, why bother with one that is this much of a hassel. I am glad to no longer be a customer. Oh, and I moved out on a Saturday and since they are not open on the weekend I couldn't have service disconnected until Tuesday. Although a week prior I had an email that they asked what day I wanted to be disconnected - they just never did it. So I was paying the electricity after I moved out which is frustrating.

Like so many others I'm struggling with my budget and trying to make ends meet this often means that due dates on bills have to slide. This I am 50 plus years old now and in my entire life I have never known an electric provider there won't 1st issue you await warning and then 30 days later issue you a disconnect notice. I have noticed with Jackson energy if you were just 2 days late with your payment they issue a disconnect notice. The good thing is they're finally sending it correctly the bed thing is these idiots turn me off the Day After Christmas without proper notice. I am now one day late with my Jan bill and they have issued a disconnect notice even though they agreed I would pay this Friday when I get paid. Unless you are flush with ready funds to pay them on time 100% and remember to do so avoid this company like the plague...

The Gexa grinch is showing up at my house for Christmas this year. I am a mere 4 days late with my payment due the way my pay periods fell this time, and Gexa wasting no time whatsoever has already issued a disconnect order. Every other electric provider would let you slide up to a month if you needed, but Gexa is unwilling to budge. I deeply regret jumping on board with them for the low costs.. The low costs are great, and the customer service people are okay, but they are being limited harshly on how flexible they can be by their company policies. I wish it wasn't this way, but it is what I have to deal with while this contract runs out.

I have data from Texas Smart meter back to 2014 and I should have reviewed the rate Plan with Gexa more in-depth than I did when signing up with them a few months ago. In the 10 years, I have lived in my home, I have never had a bill over $216. Yet, with the tiered structure for this 24-month plan through Gexa, my July plan is $460. This is outrageous. It is, of course, my fault but I would think the Regulatory commission would do more to simplify the detail when selection just as they do during a mortgage signing with truth-in-lending chart. I review that when I signed up and it appears my rates would be lower with Gexa than previously with Bounce. I have a $295 change fee but do not care in ever doing business with Gexa again. I plan to call them Monday to see if I can switch to another Gexa plan without a change fee. I am not expecting that to be the case and plan to move to another company like 4Change or Constellation or even DirectEnergy.

I just terminated my 12 month contract with Gexa after learning of their fraudulent practice. I enrolled in the $50 rebate program if I maintained 500 kwh or more. However, they billed me for 9 days at .23/kwh when their website showed me at .14/kwh. Apparently they charge a higher rate if your usage is under 500, something no other company has ever done. They control the billing cycles but as mentioned in other complaints, you can never speak to anyone who doesn't try to strong arm you into something else or refuse to handle the problem. I terminated my contract and went with another company who also paid for my termination fee. Stay away from this company!!!!

When the PUC created the Power To Choose website, they made the entire focus to be 'RATES RATES RATES!!!', and that incentivized some providers to add extra fees and credits that artificially affect the rate you see on the EFL.

I signed up in July 22, with the understanding that my rate would be 14.4 as long as I used at least 1000 kwh a month. I also asked if the customer service department was helpful to people in my situation, who pays their bills, but due to govt disability checks being sent on a certain day each month, extra time is needed to pay the bill. I was assured that I'd have no issues! I don't think I have been charged that rate since we signed up! On my bill it states my monthly average was 19.1, but I'm being charged over 21! So last month 1710 kwh and I'm being charged $390.55 The 2 months before that Oct-1641 kwh $423 Nov-1641 kwh $373.17...It's easily TWICE the amount that I was paying last winter and fuel prices were higher! Customer service is far from helpful. I'm on disability and every month I have to go through the same nonsense explaining how I only get paid once a month, and with their unusually high utility bills, I need extra time to pay my bill. I'm given grief every month. They charge a late fee if not paid by the due date, then tack on another $25 for a disconnection email to be generated! I've asked several times if they have my Critical Care info on file, and I am told that they don't see it!
I didn't ask to become disabled in the prime of my 1st responder career. My home is less that 1000sqft. So bills over $600 in the summer and over $350 in the fall just doesn't make one bit of sense! Stay away from Gexa, their rates are never what they say they are! Truly unhappy and trapped while I'm getting royally screwed. Some KY might have made the shock so painful!

I signed up with Gexa after reviewing what I, Thought, was a low rate! I received my first bill and stunned to see I was charged 0.1918 rather than 0.134 as advertised online. I contacted Gexa and spoke with two managers, one who explained Gexa had no control over rates being shown on 3rd party websites. I advised that this was a total Scam because if Gexa knew the rates were False why would they not correct it to reflect an accurate rate. Deregulation has created a Scam and Deceptive industry and you better pay attention at your energy rates. Take screen shots of necessary information and accurate notes of who you spoke with, date and time. Thankfully one of the managers I spoke with kept his word and noted on my account I could cancel within a specified time without being charged the early termination fee. I subsequently canceled my service within 2 months and thankfully I did, because although my usage rate has Decreased, my bill has Increased! Which is absolutely Ridiculous! Gexa Energy is a horrible company, and I would Not recommend it to anyone! Their prices, plans and promotions are borderline Deceptive!!

2 years have service. First year bill was averaging $200 now up to $475 that's not even the kicker. We are supposed to have free weekends starting Thursday midnight lasting till Sunday Midnight. We rarely use electricity during the week day because of work and school. So the weekends we use more especially tvs running and lights. But they swear we use most of our electricity during the week day which is BS because only kitchen appliances are really running. We even unplug tvs and things that have small energy running through them. So it's really crazy how they average the usage to make it seem like we use less during weekend "free" hours and the week day. We have 2 months left and we are not renewing with this company

Had nothing but good things to say prior to the last couple months. Payed roughly 100-200 dollars depending on the month and everything was pretty reasonable. Come summer time and our bill started to double, triple and even quadruple!!! I NEVER thought I'd be paying almost the same amount as RENT to cover energy for a two bed room apartment. All of a sudden we're getting billed upwards of 600/m and they will randomly consolidate your bills to include longer stretches of a month without even a hint of letting you know. Honestly I'm just pissed at this point and my SO and I find it cheaper to pay the cancellation fee and move on then give these troglodytes any more of our hard earned money. Save yourself the trouble and go with literally any other company.

We thought we were on with our current old provider, did not know that Gexa jumped in and cut us off with previous provider. I called and they said "oh, the mail must got lost". How does it even possible? How do you sign up for a plan with energy company without giving your social security? But Gexa did it with using your dob and address.

During the contract period, the service was bare minimum (technology interface is far behind what Ive seen from other providers).

After terminating service, billed several hundred dollar extra for usage after lease end. Dispute team and customer service took several weeks to look into the issue, and would not adjust/honor my disconnect date. Charged additional late payment interest during the time of the dispute that they were also unwilling to waive. Very displeased with Gexa, will never be returning.

Not to mention the nickel and dime ing they charge which you REALLY have to read the "fine print" over and over again..then over and over again... am looking for another company to move to at this time... will do so even if there is a penalty fee!

If you choose a year plan that advertises as ex. 7.8/Kw, you most likely will NOT receive this price. It must be between say 1-2K and if a little below or above, the ENTIRE amt. will be charged at the top price. Even if you are between 1-2K - they give a credit and the agent will say 'well it 'MAY' go to that rate but not necessarily. I never received the 7.8 although my bill was between 1-2k multiple months. Total SCAM - too many other options for companies

I contacted Gexa while I was out of town and my energy usage was through the roof despite leaving the AC at 85, unplugging the fridge and not using any appliances.They initiated a billing dispute with AEP central. Thats fine. They told me to pay the amount Im not disputing so I estimated half and paid that. (It was probably still too much). A few days later my neighbour phoned to say AEP had come by. AEP had mixed my line with his, so Ive been paying for his usage and he for mine.Fine.A week and a half later Gexa is still showing me sky high usage. I asked for confirmation that they would not report me to the credit bureau for not paying the balance while the amount was still disputed, per PUC regulations. They would not give me that confirmation. Instead, they finally said it was due 08/01 instead of 07/15. They quoted me the amount remaining.The next day I get a bill for the entire amount again, despite already having paid half.And they still havent dealt with the AEP issue. I am owed a huge credit.Im furious.This company is awful. Do not sign up with them.

I switched to Gexa Energy automatically by Texas Public Utilities. My bill went up from $140 a month to $530 a month. It's 378% increase with the same amount of KWhs. They have used the algorithm of Low and High window to double the rate whenever you are below or above this window. Now it is understandable they can do that, but they would double your total KWH for that month, not just the difference you are under use or over use. So who is in the right mind would have to look at your electric meter everyday to make sure you are not outside of this limits. I am looking out for a class action law suit against whoever come up with this scam. Because I am sure there are thousands of victims out there paying too much for this scam.

They have sneaky pricing plans, that if you stay within a certain electricity range, you get somewhat reasonable rates, but if you even dare to go over your khw range your bill skyrockets almost doubling. What really blew me away is their pricing range quite literally punishes you for using LESS electricity. I had one bill 8 kW under the range and my bill almost doubled. That particular month had several weather related power outages so on top of having interrupted service, I got dinged with a significantly higher bill.

I just terminated my 12 month contract with Gexa after learning of their fraudulent practice. I enrolled in the $50 rebate program if I maintained 500 kwh or more. However, they billed me for 9 days at .23/kwh when their website showed me at .14/kwh. Apparently they charge a higher rate if your usage is under 500, something no other company has ever done. They control the billing cycles but as mentioned in other complaints, you can never speak to anyone who doesn't try to strong arm you into something else or refuse to handle the problem. I terminated my contract and went with another company who also paid for my termination fee. Stay away from this company!!!!

Customer service is far from helpful. I'm on disability and every month I have to go through the same nonsense explaining how I only get paid once a month, and with their unusually high utility bills, I need extra time to pay my bill.

I've asked several times if they have my Critical Care info on file, and I am told that they don't see it!
I didn't ask to become disabled in the prime of my 1st responder career. My home is less that 1000sqft. So bills over $600 in the summer and over $350 in the fall just doesn't make one bit of sense!

I signed up with Gexa after reviewing what I, Thought, was a low rate! I received my first bill and stunned to see I was charged 0.1918 rather than 0.134 as advertised online. I contacted Gexa and spoke with two managers, one who explained Gexa had no control over rates being shown on 3rd party websites. I advised that this was a total Scam because if Gexa knew the rates were False why would they not correct it to reflect an accurate rate. Deregulation has created a Scam and Deceptive industry and you better pay attention at your energy rates. Take screen shots of necessary information and accurate notes of who you spoke with, date and time. Thankfully one of the managers I spoke with kept his word and noted on my account I could cancel within a specified time without being charged the early termination fee. I subsequently canceled my service within 2 months and thankfully I did, because although my usage rate has Decreased, my bill has Increased! Which is absolutely Ridiculous! Gexa Energy is a horrible company, and I would Not recommend it to anyone! Their prices, plans and promotions are borderline Deceptive!!

Gexa is very misleading. They were charging me according to the previous month when I was home not realizing the next 3 months I was totally gone. After I brought to their attention and told them there is no way possible my bill was suddenly adjusted. I currently in the process of finding a new Entergy company willing to pay to end contract early. Be wise. Stay away from Gexa!

Signing up was very easy. Details of pricing were misleading. I had no basis for estimating my energy consumption moving into a new house. Imagine my surprise when I was socked with $.28 cents per kWh. The energy charge was for 999 kWh - if I had consumed one more kWh I would have jumped into a much lower rate. This company also hides the TDU delivery charge. Looking through the fine print it is clear. I have switched my plan after one month. It will cost me far less to pay the charge for breaking the contract and turning to a new provider than trying to game the categories that GEXA sets. I have no desire to consume more energy than is needed.

2 years have service. First year bill was averaging $200 now up to $475 that's not even the kicker. We are supposed to have free weekends starting Thursday midnight lasting till Sunday Midnight. We rarely use electricity during the week day because of work and school. So the weekends we use more especially tvs running and lights. But they swear we use most of our electricity during the week day which is BS because only kitchen appliances are really running. We even unplug tvs and things that have small energy running through them. So it's really crazy how they average the usage to make it seem like we use less during weekend "free" hours and the week day. We have 2 months left and we are not renewing with this company

Had nothing but good things to say prior to the last couple months. Payed roughly 100-200 dollars depending on the month and everything was pretty reasonable. Come summer time and our bill started to double, triple and even quadruple!!! I NEVER thought I'd be paying almost the same amount as RENT to cover energy for a two bed room apartment. All of a sudden we're getting billed upwards of 600/m and they will randomly consolidate your bills to include longer stretches of a month without even a hint of letting you know. Honestly I'm just pissed at this point and my SO and I find it cheaper to pay the cancellation fee and move on then give these troglodytes any more of our hard earned money.

During the contract period, the service was bare minimum (technology interface is far behind what Ive seen from other providers).

After terminating service, billed several hundred dollar extra for usage after lease end. Dispute team and customer service took several weeks to look into the issue, and would not adjust/honor my disconnect date. Charged additional late payment interest during the time of the dispute that they were also unwilling to waive. Very displeased with Gexa, will never be returning.

If you choose a year plan that advertises as ex. 7.8/Kw, you most likely will NOT receive this price. It must be between say 1-2K and if a little below or above, the ENTIRE amt. will be charged at the top price. Even if you are between 1-2K - they give a credit and the agent will say 'well it 'MAY' go to that rate but not necessarily. I never received the 7.8 although my bill was between 1-2k multiple months. Total SCAM - too many other options for companies

I contacted Gexa while I was out of town and my energy usage was through the roof despite leaving the AC at 85, unplugging the fridge and not using any appliances.They initiated a billing dispute with AEP central. Thats fine. They told me to pay the amount Im not disputing so I estimated half and paid that. (It was probably still too much). A few days later my neighbour phoned to say AEP had come by. AEP had mixed my line with his, so Ive been paying for his usage and he for mine.Fine.A week and a half later Gexa is still showing me sky high usage. I asked for confirmation that they would not report me to the credit bureau for not paying the balance while the amount was still disputed, per PUC regulations. They would not give me that confirmation. Instead, they finally said it was due 08/01 instead of 07/15. They quoted me the amount remaining.The next day I get a bill for the entire amount again, despite already having paid half.And they still havent dealt with the AEP issue. I am owed a huge credit.Im furious.This company is awful. Do not sign up with them.

I switched to Gexa Energy automatically by Texas Public Utilities. My bill went up from $140 a month to $530 a month. It's 378% increase with the same amount of KWhs. They have used the algorithm of Low and High window to double the rate whenever you are below or above this window. Now it is understandable they can do that, but they would double your total KWH for that month, not just the difference you are under use or over use. So who is in the right mind would have to look at your electric meter everyday to make sure you are not outside of this limits. I am looking out for a class action law suit against whoever come up with this scam. Because I am sure there are thousands of victims out there paying too much for this scam.

They have sneaky pricing plans, that if you stay within a certain electricity range, you get somewhat reasonable rates, but if you even dare to go over your khw range your bill skyrockets almost doubling. What really blew me away is their pricing range quite literally punishes you for using LESS electricity. I had one bill 8 kW under the range and my bill almost doubled. That particular month had several weather related power outages so on top of having interrupted service, I got dinged with a significantly higher bill.

If you are thinking about signing a contract with Gexa, make sure you read the fine print. The way that Texas electric companies work is deliberately confusing, and that's how they lock you into expensive contracts.This will likely not be an issue if you are first signing with Gexa. They offer fantastic deals for people who first sign up, and they advertise their rates for new users correctly. However, when it's time to renew, you need to be careful.If you are offered a contract at an average rate of 9 cents /kWh, for example, then you need to open the EFL (Electric Facts Label) and check the energy charge. If it says something MUCH higher than 9 cents, then you need to look elsewhere. The way that it works is that they advertise a low average rate because of a discount they apply to your account if you hit exactly the right number of kWh. For instance, if it says that your plan is 9 cents/kWh at 500 kWh, then the ACTUAL energy charge might be closer to 15 cents/kWh, but Gexa will give you a fifty dollar discount if you hit 500kWh. If you don't hit 500kWh, then you don't get the discount, and you might actually pay MORE money, even when using HALF the amount of electricity. Additionally, if you use more than 500kWh, you'll still get the discount, but your rate will still average out at much higher. The average rate is only 9 cents if you literally use 500kWh.For complete transparency, here is a breakdown of the amount of energy I used per month with Gexa and how much it cost me. Contract 1 with Gexa - This plan was advertised at an average rate of 6 cents/kWh, and I was extremely happy with it. (The actual rate before fees was 3 cents/kWh.)404 kWh = $34.51403 kWh = $34.44318 kWh = $28.24413 kWh = $35.38578 kWh = $41.88364 kWh = $27.95578 kWh = $41.88364 kWh = $27.95597 kWh = $41.77537 kWh = $39.46Contract 2 with Gexa. This contract was advertised at 9 cents/kWh. They used deceptive tactics here. It's actually 15 cents/kWh but comes out to 21 cents/kWh with fees. They give you a 50 dollar credit if you use 500kWh. As you can see, using between 350-499 kWh will absolutely destroy you. 552 kWh = $58.39383 kWh = $82.91 (!!!!!!)557 kWh = $66.53262 kWh = $57.94I stupidly trusted Gexa after my first year went smoothly, and I regret renewing a contract with them. If this review makes it to ANYONE before they make the same mistake that I made, I'll be happier. I might cancel my contract and move to another company. I am still waiting to hear back from them.

Opaque gimmicks for their plans with usage credits (before selecting a plan verify the rates are reported prior to additional charges, mine was not). Uncompetitive flat rates. Customer service reps have few options to address complaints, although they were all polite.

Ultimately on me for not doing enough research before selecting. I've cancelled my plan and eaten the cancellation charge.

I wouldn't use them again and I would not recommend their plans. Look elsewhere.

Signed up for a plan advertising 10.7c per kwh.
Turns out, its ONLY in the fine print that that price is good for usage of between 1000-2000 kwh and the company applies a credit to bring the bill 'close to' 10.7c, so its not a true fixed rate at all....in fact i was paying close to 16.3c per kwh.
I have since moved on from them.

This is my third year as a Gexa Energy customer and I am writing this review to help other people avoid this company. I have two accounts for two separate houses. Both accounts are enrolled in autopay. Every 2-3 three months, both accounts are somehow un-enrolled in autopay, my bill is not paid, and I get a disconnection notice and a fine. Then, I spend an hour on a Saturday morning calling Gexa energy to get my account re-enrolled. The very nice person who helps me never has any idea why this happens. When my account is un-enrolled in autopay, it is also unregistered, so I can't manage it online. If I attempt to re-register my account online, I get an error "The system could not validate the information with the email xxxx.xxx and account number xxxx. Please verify your details." Both account numbers receive this error message. Literally any other company in Houston does not have these account and IT errors. My bill is quadruple the amount I am expecting, and I have no way to view my bill to see my usage and dispute and/or reduce it. And this happens every couple of months. I deeply regret signing up for Gexa energy, and you should know before signing up what a nightmare it is to continually babysit something that should be automatic, and that no other company hasn't figured out by now.

I am staying in a single bedroom apartment (600s.f) for the past 6 years. I used to be a customer of TXU energy. Unfortunately, I have shifted to Gexa energy in the last year. Initially, I used to get $70-$80 per month. But for the past 4 months I got a bill of >$250 per month. Most of the months my consumption of electricity was below 1000 kWh. I have observed that sometimes they will change the billing cycle (they will add 1-3 days extra to cross the usage of electricity above 1000 kWh) so that the charge they can increase. My is fixed plan they should not increase the electric price at least in that contract year. I saw in couple of electric bills they charged 14.7 cents instead 13 cents. They wont respond to emails and phones properly. After all, I pre-exit the service. They charged me $155 instead of $150, saying that they included tax? Its nightmare experience with gexa energy.

I had a Gexa contract last year that gave a $100 credit for energy use over 1000 KWh per billing cycle. This year they lured me into a new contract that I thought was the same with the same $100 credit for usage over 1000 KWH. The credit was only for use between 1000 and 2000. Once you go over 2000 Kwh you get a huge bill. Not good. I'm cancelling my contract because it will only take a month to recoup the cost of cancellation fee of $295.

I had this company for 2 years the first year was from powertochoose. got a great deal so when renewal came it seemed like they were giving me another good deal but oh how I was wrong. The plan I chose was not explained to me correctly it was a 24 month plan and I got a big bill. So they correct the plan and gave me another plan, but my bills were the highest they have ever been. I made arrangements to pay my last bill before my contact was up, I had paid half and was going to pay the reminder before the next due date the rep did not tell me that I would have a switch hold put on my account, I found this out when I went to look for new service. I paid the bill, now the hold is still one there I called Gexa I chose to have someone call me back, the wait time was 20 mins 1hr and half later still no call and of course now they are closed. sorry customer service, the website is not very good either.

Gexa Energy used to be a good company, but that changed in 2021. They quit sending bills, and moved up the payment deadline by 15 or more days. Then they added a fee if you pay after the payment deadline. I used to pay at the end of the month and they moved the deadline to the 17th last month and the 9th this month. Thank goodness I changed providers and never have to deal with them again! I had to threaten filing a complaint with the Utility Commission to get them to send a bill, not an e-invoice. Save yourself a lot of grief - chose a different company.

I was out of town for several days and saw sky high charges to my account during the month in question. When I called customer service on Aug 14 to inquire further, I was advised to submit a request for billing dispute. I was given a time frame of 2-3 weeks before I heard back. And I was assured that I did not have to make payment while my dispute was being reviewed.

The following week I received a disconnection notice that my service would be disconnected if I did not make a payment. I called the company and they apologized that I should not have received that notice.

Another week later, while my billing dispute was still unresolved, I noticed that my account had a late payment penalty fee of 5% charges added. I called the company again and was advised that I should not have received that penalty fee either.

It has caused me much angst with these notices, as I have never missed a payment nor had to pay a late penalty fee. And I have called them thrice on the same issue without any resolution, even though it has been more than 3 weeks now, and I still have no resolution.

Gexa energy is the worst experience we ever had in 30 years of elect service. When they offer you a $.10 rate they then charge you huge service provider fees so actual cost is almost $.16. We rarely revived an actual bill and if you are late by day there is a late fee and disconnect notice fee immediately added to your bill. If your contract expired and you are not tracking the months carefully you will have a bill that is over $.20 per charge. We have found a much better company that gave us a rate $.10 including service fee and our first month bill was 2/3 less with more kilowatt usage. Wouldnt recommend or ever use Gexa again.

My TXU contract was expiring back on 7/9/21 after using them for the last 4 years. So I shopped around and found this company with a lower rate than I was at with TXU. So I sign up for the saver deluxe 12. It says that 1000 to 2000 kwh ill be charged 6.9 cents per kwh up to 2000. Then after 2000, 11.8 cents. And if I stay between 1000 and 2000 ill get a $100 bill credit each time. So my 1st bill comes in and its $223 and some change. I just paid TXU $229 for the final bill. So I call GEXA, and of course get India on the phone asking where my $100 credit is. They tell me my bill was $323 before the bill credit. I asked them if they were smoking some crack when they came up for that bill. Ive NEVER had a bill in my life over $300. My highest ever with TXU was $276. At 2123 kwh I paid TXU $229. With this company I used 1929 kwh and they want to charge $323 before the credit. I told them im canceling and I instantly called TXU and went back. Gexa tells me the rates on the plan I pick was an example only. What BS is that. Will never recommend a company like this that tried to screw me on my 1st bill.

Editor's Note:

Delivery charges on your Texas electricity bill are an unfortunate reality of the deregulated market. Every provider you purchase electricity from has to pay these charges to the Texas companies that maintain the poles and wires. In the past, some retailers rolled all those charges up into the energy charge, but most list it separately.

I started out with Gexa energy, transferred to another energy company. Months after transferring services Gexa sends me a statement stating I owe for services rendered. The billing cycles were for the period while with another company. When I contacted Gexa the customer service representatives where lost. The systems dont inter communication so you have to repeat yourself like a broken record. I send in invoices and payment recipients proving services rendered and paid for. Once you finally see a light at the end of the tunnel they threw another curb ball. While waiting for a customer solutions rep to return your call with a resolution, they sent my bill to a debt company.

My first year on a Gexa plan was great. Throughout the summer of 2020 I paid no higher than $250 (don't have the kw hour usage but do have a spreadsheet with exact billed amounts). For Sept. 2020 used 3200 KWH (same as the usage this month) and I paid $344 then. This month and last my bills have skyrocketed Jun $415 Jul $557!!! I had the same experience with TXU and Ambit. It seems if you sign more than a year contract with a provider they raise your prices. We used no more energy in July than Jun and its been cooler this year than last. More rain, fewer full sun baking days. I've been on the phone on hold for well over 90 mins got disconnected and agent didn't return call. No resolution. I want to make sure I don't have a faulty meter....I've never paid this high a bill even with Ambit or TXU and I don't plan to continue. My plan was for something like 9.5 KWH last year and this year when I renewed in Sept. 2020 they said I would have a rate of 7. 5 KHW average but didn't tell me the summer rate if over 2000 KWH usage would be 4 cents higher than I paid last year. Why would I renew a contract for a plan higher priced than I had currently. Feels like a total bait and switch. I had way lower than average bills this spring. Two bills this summer reduced any savings I managed for using under 1000 KWH in the spring. I called tonight with hard numbers and hard data. The rep kept telling me it was increased usage on our part but we used no more than last year Sept. and are paying $560. This after warning the rep on the phone in Sept.

I told them I would not pay them until my account was corrected and she said I would get an answer in 15 to 20 days. 12 days later I received an email saying my account was past due and if I didnt make a payment I would be sent to collections. I again reached out to customer service and explained everything to them AGAIN and was told they would adjust my account in 3-5 business days. 7 days later (at 5pm) I received a single email with my adjusted statement.
