About TXU Energy

The honest take.

TXU Energy is Texas's oldest and largest retail electricity provider, tracing its roots back to 1882. After the 2002 deregulation it became the default provider for many Texas households and still holds the largest market share in the state. TXU offers a wide range of plan types — fixed, variable, indexed, and time-of-use — and runs frequent promotional bill-credit plans. Their marketing is heavy on brand trust, but Voltcheckr's math shows that TXU plans are rarely the cheapest at any given usage level because of bill-credit thresholds and higher base fees. Voltcheckr ranks every TXU plan against every other retailer in your area so you see whether staying with TXU actually costs you.
