How to read these numbers
- Homes is the number of residential customers the provider reported. It shows size, not service quality.
- Cents per kWh and bill a month are averages across all of a provider's residential customers in 2025, including every plan and every household. They are not the price of a plan you can buy today.
- kWh a month differs by provider because customers differ. A provider with heavier users will show a higher bill even at the same price.
Use it as context
Retail providers and delivery companies are different
Oncor, CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric, AEP Texas and Texas-New Mexico Power deliver electricity and are not on this list. A retail provider sells you the energy and sends the bill, and the delivery company keeps the lines working. Read what a retail electric provider is for the split.
