We recently transitioned from another provider after getting lied to when setting up a contract and then refusing to cancel that contract. Power Express took over and has been a pleasure to deal with.

Just got our first bill from Power Express and couldn't believe the price. We live in our house for 30 years and never received bill so low. We are very happy with our electric company choice for the next 12 months.

I moved to Power express and comparing with my last year cost I saved 25%. Apart of that the service has been very good and just to change providers was almost very transparent for me.

My first billing cycle was less than 30 days so I was below the 999 kWh threshold by a very small amount. I would have used over 999 kWh in 30 days but because I signed up 4 days into the billing cycle I did not get my $80 discount. It feels like some kind of penalty.

Called on 10/7 to switch service on 10/10. Two weeks later, no confirmation. Called back on 10/21 to check, no record of transaction from 10/7. Started the process over again and received immediate confirmation, customer service was very helpful.

Glad to hear your over all experience was a good one and we were able to set you up! Thank you for your response!

While my overall experience has been good and smooth, I'm not really happy with how significantly my rates have shot up over the past 2 years and 2 contract renewals. In my latest renewal, I was told that it was the best plan for my usage, and yet I'm paying 13.4 c/kwh... a far cry from the ~10 cents (or maybe even 9!) that I was paying when I first signed up to get away from NRG's rates. But now my rates are comparable to what I as paying with NRG. Every year, they tell me that it's "the best deal" and to just stick with it, but it's now at the point where I'm considering switching to a different company that promises a better rate.

Thank you for your review! At Power Express we try to make sure that everyone is on the best fit plans to suit their needs. We'll make sure one of our sales representatives reaches out to you to discuss our current rates.

I have had trouble getting in contact with Power Express, but so far my experience has been ok. I do not receive usage details or advice on lowering bill. These are pro-active measures that other companies take. Power Express has provided economical electricity and that is enough for now.

We apologize if our hold times can be long. We are working on getting more staff to accommodate to our call volume. If you would like to monitor your usage you can register your meter to smartmetertexas.com you can monitor your usage every 15min or every day. We would love to help you setup your account on smartmetertexas.com. We can reach out to you directly if need be to discuss our different rates. We apologize again and hope we can better your experience. Have a wonderful day!

I had great year with them, the rates were great, but when it came time for my contract to expire, I didn't as much as receive an email or a phone call offering extend my contract with a new plan or anything. I too decided not to bother them and got myself a new provider.
Customer service is inept.

We would like to apologize for your recent experience and sorry to hear you were less than satisfied with our service We apologize if you did not receive any renewal offers. We reach out to all customer via email. We can defiantly check into it further if you would like. We hate to lose you as a customer but hope you can can try us again in the future.

For our particular situation, Power Express came out on top when using texaspowerguide.com. Signed up via Power To Choose. Online sign-up relatively easy, but had to call customer service to get a couple of questions answered.... customer rep polite but terse. Got confirmation email quickly after signup saying "You're all set". But a bit later (while we were out signing up other utilities) received another email from customer service that they could not confirm my identity and needed a picture ID. and a while later (still away from email) received 2 other emails one saying problem solved and the other saying that since I had not responded they were "closing the ticket". Sent a picture of drivers license and tried to call customer service to ascertain what was what, but they are closed after 6PM and on weekends.
With all the confusion, we will have to wait and see if we really did get signed up with Power Express at our new address.

I was currently with PE, but my plan was expiring. I went thru True Cost. I decided I would continue using PE for the next two years, using True Cost figures. After I was notified that everything was set, I was notified by Centerpoint that PE had rejected me. After spending my valuable time on the phone trying to understand why I was rejected, the account agent says that I was in the plan for which I had signed up.Center point somehow got a false notification from PE.

I signed up for a 2 year contract and had what is expected of an energy supplier at a good rate. However, when my contract was about to expire, I received a renewal offer that said my contract was due to expire at xx/xx/xxxx date and there would not be any early termination fees if I cancel within 14 days of this date. I chose not to renew with Power Express and canceled within the 14 days stated in the email. It turns out my contract went 15 days past the date in the email and I was charged $150.00 for early termination. I contacted them and received no response, and they sold my $150.00 past due to a collection agency before I even received a past due invoice. They will just screw you in the end!

Following my initial ordering experience, which was terrific and that's why why I gave it 5 stars, everything went downhill from there. I signed up for automatic payment so that I wouldn't have to worry ever about being late. Following my initial order, the next thing I received was a notice that my service would be terminated due to non-payment. Obviously, I was furiated. I called and they said I hadn't paid, and that's why my service is going to be turned off. I explained that I arranged for automatic payment, she looked into it and said oh I see it here, never mind we won't turn off your power. Just the frustration of having to go through that was horrible as I always guard my credit rating. Therefore, I doubt I will sign up again or suggest anybody using this company.

Signed up for a contract that had ok pricing, but the month after I went off my contract my electricity price more than doubled. What would have been a $48 dollar bill before was $107.
Why do you need to charge me more than double the price for the same amount of electricity I used the month before? Their current pricing for low usage customers is absolutely terrible. I switched to a company that lowered my bill by 66% percent.

We are sorry you had issues with renewing your services with us. When your contract expires, we can not automatically renew your contract as we need to have a verbal agreement on file per the Public Utility Commission of Texas. Once your contract does expire, if no action is taken, the REP will serve the customer on a month-to-month product, which is based on the current variable market rates. We apologize for your experience and hopefully we can work with you again in the future.

I signed up a few months ago and everything was fine at first. The month the bill was okay and the next month it was a little higher but the next month it was almost $1000!!! I've never had a bill that high even at the peak of the summer with everything on!! I called customer service and they said that my usage went up. I guess that I must have had the windows and doors open with the air conditioning turned to it's lowest setting!!! No I didn't!!! Please steer clear of these people!!! I'll be getting service elsewhere soon!!!

We're sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with our plans. Unfortunately, the plans we have advertised on TexasElectricityRatings.com are designed for residential customers not for small business/commercial use of 7007 kWh per billing cycle. Our commercial department can offer you very competitive rates. Please give us a call if you would like speak to a commercial sales team member. 877.400.0232. Thank you for your feedback and hope to speak to you soon.

Power Express is routinely making accounting errors in posting payments to the account, then tries to charge late fees for their error.
After getting a manager on the the pone for 20 minutes the fix it, but it gets old fast.

I choose my plan by the usage of kilowatts thinking I would save money over the Reliant bill. The first bill came two weeks after I signed up and was very high for two weeks usage so at this point I am not satisfied. I will probably eat the $150.00 early termination fee to get a better plan.

If you in error enter a wrong digit from debit card while paying online, but still get a confirmation number of a successful payment, it comes back three days later as nsf and you get your electric shut off. Takes 5 hours to turn back on in July. The next month you go to login to pay and you are locked out. Call number in bold print on bill to pay and get a recording that number is disconnected. Call the 877 number, that one is good. They tell me they can allow me access to my acct this this time but if I make a mistake again on the number entering, they can't help me and the "System" will lock me out of my acct for 12 MONTHS. NOT USER FRIENDLY.
I have 10 more months to go and I am out of POWER EXPRESS!

I didnt give this review when it was sent because I had just started & had no experience with it yet. Now, after months with it, I am so disappointed in Power Express. It is the most expensive company weve been with! The $85 per month off each month has not happened as promised. I wouldnt recommend this company to anyone.

We opened an account and ordered service three days before we moved into our new condo. They never hooked up service and our power was cut off on a Saturday morning. Called customer service and received a recording that the office was closed until Monday. We immediately called TXU and had service within a half hour. They are more expensive but we learned the valuable lesson that you get what you pay for.

Why do I have to pay a $5 surcharge because I do not allow you access to my Bank Account???
The day I received my email bill I immediately to go to my bank account the same day and did an electronic transfer. Why am I paying a surcharge when I transfer your money within 24 hours of receiving your bill?.

I found it very difficult to sign up for new service. After filling out their forms and getting an e-mail saying I was all set up I later got a phone call saying they needed me to also send them a picture ID to confirm I was who I said I was. I told them that would take some effort on my part since I would need to go somewhere to get that done & they said 'too bad'. I cancelled my order!

I was told to email and fax documents over and over only to be informed they would not be sufficient. The last customer service representative I spoke to was very rude. She said to me, "I was just unhappy because I did not get approved for a deposit waiver". My husband does receive Medicare and is 66 years old. I would have been able to make the deposit in two payments. But the rudeness was unacceptable! I signed up with another company whose representatives knew how to treat their customers and I did not have to make any deposit because they offer complete waivers. I would not recommend ANYONE to your company!

Hello,
We tried to confirm our online order request by calling this morning. Specifically we wanted to know how quickly we could get service activated. After 19 minutes of listening to your on-hold music I hung up. Poor customer service if you don't have enough people to answer phone calls from new prospective customers.
The services was fast and friendly
