Our team at EnergySavings.com is capturing daily snapshots of electricity plans from the Power to Choose website. Data collected* is analyzed monthly to give you an understanding of the offers available and the market trends. Grouping the most common plans by category, we analyze the same plan categories every month to give you an apples-to-apples comparison.
Our analysis is based on information captured once daily from the Power to Choose website, and rates may vary at any time. We have excluded from our analysis plans that are marked as “Minimum usage fees/credits,” “Time of Use,” and “Prepaid” according to the data captured from Power to Choose.
For the Oncor Delivery Area, the market recovered some stability compared to the previous period. Comparison between March and April shows a steadier variation of the number of players. Also, we didn’t observe numerous and significant rate variations as in the last report. (Full analysis for February and March Oncor report here). Are we seeing the end of the winter storm effect on the market?

1Trends compare in percentage the rate of the previous month for the same category of products. This table compares the lowest price offered by each REP that offered the respective type of plan in each month. The “Highest” row above compares the highest of the lowest price offered by a REP.
While the total number of REPs offering fixed rate plans is stable, FIRST CHOICE POWER and DIRECT ENERGY started offering a 12mo fixed rate plan, and DIRECT ENERGY and TRIEAGLE ENERGY LP started offering a 24mo fixed rate plan, replacing VARSITY ENERGY and GRIDPLUS ENERGY in the 12mo category and TEXPO ENERGY and GRIDPLUS ENERGY in the 24mo category. For variable rate plans, 2 REPs started to show offers in April: DIRECT ENERGY and FIRST CHOICE POWER. Those two REPs were both offering fixed rate plans before.
Lowest rates of the popular 12mo-fixed rate plans didn’t vary a lot between those two months as apposed the two other popular products of this table. The 24mo-fixed rate category shows a big variation of its lowest rate as it increased by 28%. The variable rate category decreased by 25%.
When we look at the highest rates captured, there was no change between March and April, and this is a global trend to these 3 categories of plans.
Concerning the average rates, the two fixed rate plan categories showed a slight change (-0.04% for the 12mo-fixed rate and +1% 24mo-fixed rate.) The variable rate category showed a decrease of 9% explained partially by the entrance of the new players offering low rates but also by some REPs decreasing their prices in April.
