Our verdict

3.5/5

Energy Texas runs on Rhythm's infrastructure now — Rhythm Ops took the brand in 2024 and relaunched it with a cleaner, 100%-renewable lineup, and the No Bull fixed plans price among the sharpest green rates in Texas. The 30-day Giddy Up guarantee lowers signup risk, and the straight fixed plans skip the usage tricks. Two things hold it back: an F at the BBB rooted in unanswered complaints during the ownership transition, and the Lone Saver / Texas Two-K plans that dangle a sub-9¢ rate you only get if you hit a usage threshold. Strong green value — read the EFL and skip the bill-credit plans unless your usage runs steady and high.

How we evaluated

We traced the 2024 ownership change (Rhythm Ops took the Energy Texas trade name; the old Declaration Energy book went to NRG), checked the current No Bull EFLs and the bill-credit plans, the PUCT and BBB records, and the Google aggregate (~4.4 across ~848 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.

Provider profile

InsideEnergy Texas.

Energy Texas began as an independent Austin REP, but the brand now belongs to Rhythm Ops (Rhythm Energy) — Goldman Sachs-backed — which took the trade name in 2024 and relaunched it on Rhythm's infrastructure. The customers from the original operator went to NRG; the name and a fresh 100%-renewable lineup stayed.

The relaunched 'No Bull' fixed plans are the core — straight 100%-renewable per-kWh rates among the sharpest green pricing in Texas, paired with a 30-day cancellation guarantee. The lineup also carries bill-credit plans (Lone Saver, Texas Two-K) whose low headline rates depend on hitting a usage threshold.

Best fit if you...

  • Renewable buyers who want a clean, fixed per-kWh rate without a green premium.
  • Shoppers who value a 30-day cancellation window to test the service.
  • Households that prefer the straight No Bull plans over the usage-threshold bill-credit options.

Watch out for

  • !F grade at the BBB, rooted in unanswered complaints during the 2024 ownership transition.
  • !The Lone Saver and Texas Two-K plans are bill-credit plans — the sub-9¢ headline only lands if you hit the usage threshold.
  • !Operated by Rhythm Ops, so it overlaps heavily with Rhythm Energy's own plans — compare the two before assuming Energy Texas is cheaper.

What makes Energy Texas different

Rhythm's pricing and 100%-renewable sourcing under a second brand — sharp green rates, but worth comparing head-to-head against Rhythm Energy itself.

Energy Texas FAQ

Common questions about Energy Texas.

What does Energy Texas charge per kWh?

+

Energy Texas plans range from 7.40¢/kWh on the cheapest fixed plan to roughly 18.80¢/kWh on its premium products. The average across all 7 plans is 13.16¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly usage. Always check the EFL — advertised rates can differ at 500 or 2,000 kWh.

Is Energy Texas a legitimate Texas REP?

+

Yes. Energy Texas is a licensed Retail Electric Provider in Texas, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Austin, 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 Energy Texas?

+

Most enrollments process in 1–3 business days. Energy Texas 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 Energy Texas require a deposit?

+

Energy Texas 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 Energy Texas?

+

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 Energy Texas if I move within Texas?

+

Yes, as long as you're moving to another deregulated area on a TDU Energy Texas 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.
