Texas electricity rates vary by provider, plan type, and your local utility. The average Texas household uses around 1,200–1,400 kWh per month. Ambit Energy VIP Energy Service offers competitive fixed-rate plans with no hidden fees. Check current rates at PowerToChoose.org or request a personalized comparison below.

We can’t guarantee no deposit but we guarantee to work harder than anybody else to get you there. Most companies, agents and brokers are too lazy or simply unaware of the many different programs that Retail Energy Providers MUST follow by state law to eliminate your deposit. Ambit Energy has also historically been known for low deposit requirements and increased flexibility with programs that allow split deposits and more. If we can’t get it done, nobody can! Give us a call and put us to work.

Switching typically takes 1–2 billing cycles. There’s no service interruption. Your local utility (Oncor in DFW, CenterPoint in Houston, AEP Texas in West/South TX, or TNMP in smaller markets) continues delivering power throughout the switch. We handle all the paperwork with your TDU.

Even better. Ambit Energy offers competitive solar buyback rates for Texas homeowners with solar panels — available across the ERCOT deregulated market. You earn credits for excess energy your system exports to the grid. Request an analysis below and select “I have solar panels” to get a customized buyback comparison.

Solar buyback means your retail electricity provider credits your account for excess energy your solar panels export to the grid. With Ambit Energy VIP Energy Service, you earn competitive credits for every kilowatt-hour exported — whether your TDU is Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, or TNMP.

About 85% of Texas residents live in the deregulated ERCOT market and can choose their retail electricity provider. Major deregulated metros include Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Garland, Sugar Land, Pearland, Tyler, Killeen, Waco, Beaumont, Corpus Christi, McAllen, and Brownsville. Cities like Austin (Austin Energy), San Antonio (CPS Energy), and El Paso (El Paso Electric) operate municipal utilities and are NOT deregulated.

Your TDU owns the wires and infrastructure that deliver electricity to your home. There are four TDUs across Texas’s deregulated market: Oncor (DFW + Waco/Killeen), CenterPoint Energy (Houston metro + Beaumont), AEP Texas (Corpus Christi, Brownsville, Rio Grande Valley, West Texas), and TNMP (smaller cities like League City, Friendswood, Texas City). Your TDU stays the same when you switch providers — only your retail electricity provider (Ambit Energy) and rate change.

The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) provides a 30% tax credit on solar panel installation costs through 2032. Texas also provides a 100% property tax exemption on the added home value from solar installations. These incentives can significantly reduce your net cost of going solar.

Home battery systems in Texas typically range from $10,000 to $20,000 before incentives, depending on capacity and brand. The 30% federal tax credit (available through 2032) can reduce a $15,000 system to an effective cost of $10,500. Contact us for a personalized estimate based on your energy usage.

Yes. Most existing solar installations in Texas can be retrofitted with battery storage. The process involves adding a battery unit, a hybrid inverter, and updating your TDU interconnection agreement. The 30% federal tax credit applies to standalone battery installations as well.
