June 2025 Thompsons Market Update
The best Thompsons electricity plans to help you save this June
Summer heat in Texas is as certain as death and taxes, and the best time to lock in a rate is February through April. The second best time to lock in a rate is today, particularly before we hit the summer heat peaks of July and August.
Our energy analyst team recommends these plans right now- The cheapest electricity rate is the Chariot Energy GridEdge 36, at 9.8 cents per kWh, for 3 years. That comes with long term bill security and is great for shoppers who dont want to hit the market for a new plan every year. That can kill two birds with one stone for many Texas shoppers.
- For those looking for a shorter 12 month plan, we have the Frontier Saver Plus 12 at 9.9 cents per kWh, for 1 year. Its the lowest 12 month plan on our website currently, and has a sweet bill credit for customers who dont use too much, or too little, electricity. Great for medium sized home owners.
- For those customers who use over 2,500 kWh of electricity in the summer, but not much in the winter, and who dont want any bill surprises, the Think Clean 12, from Think Energy, is the way to go. Its a flat plan with pretty much the same rates across all usage tiers, this is the plan at 14.4 cents per kWh is the set it and forget it option that many Texans are looking for when it comes to electricity.

5 Things to Know Before You Order Thompsons Electricity Service
- Know your usage. Ok you don't have to "know" but you should have an idea. Are you moving into an apartment/small house, a medium size home or condo, or a large home? Home size matters and relates to the average usage. Electricity rates are based on volume and are based on 500kWh, 1000kWh and 2000kWh use per month. In other words a small house or apartment customer will generally pay a higher rate than a high usage / large house customer.
- Know your credit score. Do you have great, average or poor credit? If you have average or poor credit you'll probably be asked to pay a deposit - generally $150-$300. You can also use a no-deposit plan that you pre-pay.
- Understand Utility Charges. TDSPs are the local electricity utility company in Thompsons. They own and maintain the poles and wires, read the meters and get your power back on when there's a storm or power loss. About 30-40% of your bill is made up of local utility fees.
- All rates displayed on our site include Utility Charges and Fees.
- Understand Your Electricity Facts Label (EFL) The EFL sets out the rates and charges based on usages of 500, 1000 and 2000kWh.

Thompsons Energy Plans
There are over 200 plans across 40+ providers currently available in the Thompsons Market. They range from 1 month variable rate plans to 60 months in duration. The easiest way to break all this down is into three categories.
Fixed Rate Plans
Fixed rate plans have terms ranging from 3 to 36 months, and provide a "fixed" rate for your electricity usage.
Variable rate or Month to Month plans
Variable rate plans change on a monthly basis. They are good for those who need short term flexibility,, and cannot commit to a long term contract. Variable rate plans change monthly and may double or triple if there is a weather event. (And we've had a few in the last 5 years). We do not recommend these plans.
Pre-paid Plans
For those who have not built credit, or want to avoid paying a deposit, there are pre-paid plans. Prepaid plans require that you establish an account and fund a balance. Usually $25-$50. Once the account is funded, your electricity is turned on and every day your balance is reduced by the cost of electricity used that day. The provider will contact you via text, app and automated calls to add money to your account as the balance changes.
