Our verdict
3.5/5
Gexa is a legitimately green provider with NextEra — the largest wind and solar generator in North America — behind it, and its Eco Saver plans are among the cheapest in Texas if you reliably clear 1,000 kWh a month. That 'if' is the whole story. The bill-credit structure imposes a steep cliff: slip below the threshold in a mild spring or fall month and your effective rate can jump past 20¢/kWh. Add a C grade at the BBB with a flagged 'pattern of complaints,' and Gexa becomes a strong deal for steady high-usage homes and a trap for everyone else.
How we evaluated
We read Gexa's current EFLs and the Eco Saver bill-credit thresholds, checked its BBB file and PUCT complaint record, and cross-checked rates against live market pricing. Before enrolling, pull 12 months of usage from Smart Meter Texas and confirm you clear the threshold most months. We don't take payment for placement — checkout passes through at the same rate you'd get going direct.

Provider profile
InsideGexa Energy.
Gexa Energy is a NextEra Energy subsidiary — NextEra is the largest renewable-energy generator in North America, so Gexa has a structural connection to the supply side that other REPs lack. Founded in 2002, acquired by NextEra in 2005.
Builds its product lineup around bill credits at the 1,000 and 2,000 kWh thresholds (Eco Saver, Saver Deluxe, Saver). Headline rates look great in best-of lists, but the credit math punishes anyone who falls outside the threshold band.
Best fit if you...
- ✓Households who reliably use 1,000-1,100 kWh or 2,000-2,200 kWh per month — the credit tier sweet spots.
- ✓Renewable-energy buyers (Eco Saver Plus is 100% renewable, priced near the conventional lineup).
- ✓Customers who track usage and don't mind running a quick monthly check.
Watch out for
- !If you use 850 kWh one month and 1,150 the next, the bill-credit volatility will surprise you — total bill can swing 25-40% on a small usage delta.
- !Variable-rate Gexa plans have moved significantly during market spikes — fixed is generally the safer choice with this brand.
- !Marketing language often shows the post-credit effective rate, not the per-kWh contract rate — the EFL clarifies it.
What makes Gexa Energy different
Backed by the largest U.S. renewable generator (NextEra), with green plans priced near the conventional market.

Gexa Energy FAQ
Common questions about Gexa Energy.
What does Gexa Energy charge per kWh?
+
Gexa Energy plans range from 7.40¢/kWh on the cheapest fixed plan to roughly 18.80¢/kWh on its premium products. The average across all 6 plans is 15.48¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly usage. Always check the EFL — advertised rates can differ at 500 or 2,000 kWh.
Is Gexa Energy a legitimate Texas REP?
+
Yes. Gexa Energy 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 Gexa Energy?
+
Most enrollments process in 1–3 business days. Gexa Energy 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 Gexa Energy require a deposit?
+
Gexa Energy 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 Gexa Energy?
+
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 Gexa Energy if I move within Texas?
+
Yes, as long as you're moving to another deregulated area on a TDU Gexa Energy 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.
