Electricity plans, ranked by what they'd actually cost you.
Twelve months of your usage, every plan's fine print, ranked within each contract length.
Example: how much plan costs vary for a home using 1,500 kWh a month
Averages across six delivery areas, so your area’s will differEstimated annual cost · plans of 1 to 2 years · 1,500 kWh a month on average
Estimates, not quotes. A price comparison, not a saving. Auto‑Pay & paperless assumed.
Your report prices your own usage, ranks plans within each contract length, and shows the document behind every figure.
Plans for the example home above are $938 a year apart. The report is $30 plus tax, once.
Power to Choose vs. watt marshal
Power to Choose, the state's site, is free and useful. It sorts plans by the price at one usage level. Some plans are designed around that one number.
Built to be on your side, only.
Independent
Our only customer is the household buying the report. No electricity provider pays us, in any form.
Transparent math
Each plan in the report shows its estimated annual cost, its effective rate and the Electricity Facts Label the figures came from.
Private by design
We ask for your ZIP, your usage and your street address, which tells us which utility delivers your power. Card details never reach us.
One-time, no strings
One flat fee per report, $30 plus tax, charged to you once. There is nothing to cancel.
How it works
Four short screens, about two minutes. You see your results before you are asked for an email or a card.
Your ZIP
We name the utility that serves your ZIP, or tell you why we can't. Some addresses in a competitive ZIP get power from a co-op or city utility instead.
Your usage
Pick a home size, give your monthly average, or type your twelve months from your bills or Smart Meter Texas. Real months give the closest estimate.
Your address
Start typing your street address and pick your service point from the list. That tells us which utility delivers your power and whether your address can buy a retail plan. Prefer your bill? Type the ESI ID printed on it instead.
Your results, then your report
The cost gap for your usage, then the plans themselves, ranked within each contract length, each with its estimated annual cost, effective rate, Electricity Facts Label and how to sign up once you get the report.
In a customer's words
I wish I had found watt marshal sooner! I was paying $150+ a month for a low-usage vacation rental and had gotten caught by the minimum-usage fine print in my electric plan. After entering my usage, watt marshal found me an option that could save me $1,000+. WAY worth the price. I'm using it for my home next!

Questions
Where does it work?
The deregulated parts of Texas: the areas served by Oncor, CenterPoint, TNMP, AEP Texas and Lubbock Power & Light. If your utility is a co-op, or a city-owned utility other than Lubbock's, we can't help, and we say so at the ZIP: most don't let you choose a provider, and we don't price the co-ops that do.
How is watt marshal paid?
By you, once, for one report. No electricity provider pays us anything: no fees, no referral money, no payment to be listed. That is what keeps the ranking yours.
I've been with my provider for years. Why would I switch?
You may not need to. A fixed-rate plan runs for the term on its Electricity Facts Label, and after that you pay whatever your provider charges then, unless you pick a new plan. A price they publish for new customers may not be offered to you. A report ranks every fixed-rate plan we can price in your delivery area on your usage, within each contract length.
Is the estimate a quote?
No. It's what each plan's published rates would have cost on your usage, on the date we priced it. Your next year's bill depends on your next year's usage, and prices change after we price them. Auto-Pay and paperless are assumed on every plan.
Which plans aren't included?
Variable-rate, time-of-use and prepaid plans. We can't produce a reliable estimate for them: their price moves with the market, the month or the hour, and a monthly total can't say when you used the power. A plan we can't price confidently is left out too, so a plan that would have suited you can be missing from your report.
What do you need from me?
Your ZIP, then twelve months of usage, a home size or your monthly average, then your street address, or the ESI ID from your bill if you prefer. Your email and a card come only when you get the report.
I already have a report. How do I open it?
