THE HONEST TAKE

Who wins?

At 1,000+ kWh, Gexa's bill-credit plans almost always beat TXU's standard fixed rates by 1–3¢/kWh, which translates to $15–40/month in savings. Gexa is cheaper on the math. The only reason to stay with TXU is if you reliably use less than 800 kWh/month (below the credit threshold) and can't count on hitting Gexa's trigger. Voltcheckr flags exactly where your usage lands.
