Our verdict
2.5/5
Discount Power is another NRG bill-credit brand, and the math is familiar: clear 1,000 kWh every month and you land among the cheaper options in Texas; fall short and you pay last-place rates — at 500 kWh it ranks dead last of 17 providers. The complaint record is worse than the median: a 2/5 PUCT score, complaint volume roughly 68% above average, and a billing-clarity score of 24/100, with a BBB profile that currently can't even issue a grade. Good for disciplined high-usage homes; rough for everyone else.
How we evaluated
We checked Discount Power's current EFLs and the $100 bill-credit threshold, its PUCT complaint record (2/5, ~68% above average), BBB profile (no current grade, not accredited), and the Google aggregate (~3.6–3.9 across ~2,000 reviews), then cross-checked rates against live market pricing. We don't take payment for placement — checkout passes through at the same rate you'd get going direct.

Discount Power FAQ
Common questions about Discount Power.
What does Discount Power charge per kWh?
+
Discount Power plans range from 7.50¢/kWh on the cheapest fixed plan to roughly 18.90¢/kWh on its premium products. The average across all 6 plans is 13.73¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly usage. Always check the EFL — advertised rates can differ at 500 or 2,000 kWh.
Is Discount Power a legitimate Texas REP?
+
Yes. Discount Power is a licensed Retail Electric Provider in Texas, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Webster, 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 Discount Power?
+
Most enrollments process in 1–3 business days. Discount Power 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 Discount Power require a deposit?
+
Discount Power 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 Discount Power?
+
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 Discount Power if I move within Texas?
+
Yes, as long as you're moving to another deregulated area on a TDU Discount Power 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.
