Smooth signup, no surprises on the first bill

Switched from another REP last month. Sign-up was 4 minutes online and the first APG&E bill matched the EFL exactly. Customer service was easy to reach when I had a question about auto-pay.

Solid rate, app could be better

Rate is one of the lowest I found at my usage. The mobile app is functional but feels dated. Otherwise no complaints — bills have been steady for 8 months.

Fast switch, kept my old account number

Moved across town and APG&E ported my account in two days. No truck roll, no service gap. Their renewal team called me a month before contract end with a competitive offer.

Bill creep after the promo period

The first 12 months were great. After renewal my rate climbed quite a bit and I had to call to negotiate. Locked back in at a fair price but it wasn't automatic. Read the EFL carefully.

Great pick for our 2,400 sq ft home

We use 1,400+ kWh in summer and the per-kWh price APG&E quoted held up. Bill credit kicked in correctly. Easy to recommend.

Reliable. Just reliable.

Power has never gone out from anything APG&E controls (TDU outages don't count). Billing is consistent. Online portal works. Nothing flashy, but nothing wrong either.

APG&E FAQ

Common questions about APG&E.

What does APG&E charge per kWh?

+

APG&E plans range from 7.70¢/kWh on the cheapest fixed plan to roughly 19.41¢/kWh on its premium products. The average across all 16 plans is 14.29¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly usage. Always check the EFL — advertised rates can differ at 500 or 2,000 kWh.

Is APG&E a legitimate Texas REP?

+

Yes. APG&E is a licensed Retail Electric Provider in Texas, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Houston, TX. It's regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and serves customers across the deregulated Texas market.

How long does it take to switch to APG&E?

+

Most enrollments process in 1–3 business days. APG&E files the switch with your local TDU (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP, or TNMP) — there's no service interruption, and your meter and wires don't change. Same-day or next-day moves are available for new addresses with priority enrollment.

Does APG&E require a deposit?

+

APG&E typically runs a soft credit check at enrollment. Customers with strong credit usually pay no deposit. If a deposit is required, it's typically refunded after 12 months of on-time payments. To skip the deposit entirely, look at prepaid options or a co-signer.

What's the early termination fee with APG&E?

+

On fixed-rate plans, ETFs typically run $150 (under 12 months), $250 (12-month plans), or $295 (24+ month plans). Month-to-month variable plans have no ETF. The exact fee is listed in the EFL for each plan — always verify before signing.

Can I keep APG&E if I move within Texas?

+

Yes, as long as you're moving to another deregulated area on a TDU APG&E serves. You'll typically transfer your plan to the new address without paying an ETF. If you move to a regulated market or municipal utility area (like Austin Energy or CPS), you'll need to cancel — most providers waive the ETF in that case with proof of address.
