Safe-Rate™ Analysis:

Safe-Rate™ Score: 2.0 out of 10

Our Safe-Rate™ Score for this plan is considered Low.

A lower Safe-Rate™ score indicates more pricing volatility and less predictable bills from month-to-month.

The table below estimates what your average price per kWh would be for different monthly energy usage:

Monthly Usage	250 kWh	500 kWh	750 kWh	1000 kWh	1250 kWh	1500 kWh	1750 kWh	2000 kWh	2250 kWh	2500 kWh	2750 kWh	3000 kWh
Average Price Per kWh	20.9¢	19.9¢	19.6¢	6.9¢	9.3¢	10.9¢	12.1¢	13.0¢	13.6¢	14.2¢	14.6¢	15.0¢

TruBill™ Estimations

Using our TruBill™ algorithm, we estimate your monthly electricity bill based on typical home energy usage.

The Typical Monthly Usage column shows your usage during average weather — not too hot, not too cold. Because Texas summers drive AC usage up and mild months bring it down, your actual bill will vary. Minimum reflects your lowest expected bill in mild months; Maximum reflects peak summer; Average is the estimated mean across all twelve months.

Typical Monthly Usage	Minimum Bill	Maximum Bill	Average Bill	Average Annual Cost
Small Homes (500-1,200 sq. ft.) - Apartments, Condos, Starter Homes
250 kWh	$45.61	$90.72	$64.00	$768.00
500 kWh	$86.32	$176.55	$122.00	$1,464.00
750 kWh	$88.32	$179.06	$139.00	$1,668.00

Our Assessment:

This is a "Bill Credit" plan, it includes a 13.8¢ per kWh energy charge, which is offset by a $125.00 bill credit if you use at least 1000kWh of energy per month. If you do not qualify for the bill credit, your bill could be larger than expected.

For a more predictable bill, you should choose a "Fixed Rate" plan.

Plan Renewal:

If you order this plan and start it today, you will be up for renewal 12 months from now in July of 2027.

You might consider a different length plan, because this plan will expire in July when rates are seasonally higher.

Electricity rates are generally highest from June through September.

How We Rate

We aggregate data from multiple sources, including our customer reviews, rates, Public Utility Commission statistics, JD Power ratings, Better Business Bureau, and surveys.

Just Energy, a Texas electricity provider, was founded in 1997. The company expanded through acquisitions went public on the Toronto Stock Exchange, and entered the U.S. market in 2004. In 2021, Just Energy filed for bankruptcy protection due to financial stress from Winter Storm Uri. The company was subsequently acquired by lenders and continues to operate as a private company

Just Energy, emerged from bankruptcy in 2022, and has operated as a private company since. Their pricing is mid pack - reflecting a conservative approach towards customer acquision. In other words prices will remain on the higher side.

Just Energy is a capable company and feratures modern online conveinces, good bill pay, customer service, etc. Since they emerged from bankruptcy in 2022, rates tend to be mid pack and there's not much differentiation between their affinity brands: Tara Energy and Amigo energy.

Based on these customer reviews from 2009-2024, Just Energy appears to be a highly problematic electricity provider. Common complaints include misleading sales tactics, hidden fees, billing errors, poor customer service with long hold times, and difficulty canceling service. Many customers report unexpectedly high bills, aggressive disconnection policies, and being locked into long-term contracts (often 5 years) with steep early termination fees. While some customers praise their rates and service, the overwhelming majority of reviews are negative. Particular issues include sales representatives misrepresenting terms, difficulty reaching customer service, and charges appearing without explanation. The company's practices have led many customers to warn others against signing up.

I switched to Just Energy back in October of 2025 because my electric bills were between $250-$350 per month for a small 3 bedroom apartment. The salesman who approached me was very friendly and personable from the beginning and explained everything in detail which was very helpful and appreciated. I am so happy I switched over to them!!!! I havent had an electric bill over $74!!! I recommend them to everyone!!! Im just in awe and saving a ton of money. Thank you guys so much for being the best
