An Electricity Facts Label (EFL) is a government-mandated sheet that allows consumers to make apples-to-apples comparisons of energy plans. You’ll find it next to all electricity plans on Texas supplier sites.

The EFL provides you with:

• The average electricity rate you can expect to pay based on your monthly usage after taking into account all the variables in the rate structure, such as the energy rate, transmission rate, and monthly base charge.
• The term of the contract (for example, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months).
• Penalty fees for early contract termination and other fee information.

Note that suppliers sometimes manipulate their rate structures in EFL’s so that their rates appear to be low, when in fact they may be exorbitant (see the “5-cent” plan as one of our GIMMICK WARNING examples). Many rates promoted on the State of Texas website especially include gimmicks. However, the EFL is often a useful guide in determining the rate you’ll actually pay.

Gexa Energy’s EFLs help you determine which plan is best for your home. In the sample EFL below, you’ll notice this rate plan is most beneficial for homes with usage levels averaging between 1,000 and 2,000 kWh per month (delivering a rate between 9.3 and 12.8 cents/kWh during such months). The plan below is specifically not designed for apartments or very small homes, many of which have average usage levels in the range of 300 to 800 kWh per month; under this plan, the rate would be 17.3 cents/kWh based on an average usage of 500 kWh per month. In the case of apartments or very small homes, customers would want to select a Gexa plan that is designed for relatively low usage levels.

In the sample EFL below, you’ll see that Champion Energy’s EFL is very simple and straight-forward with no gimmicks. Champion charges only a low energy rate in the plan, with a monthly charge from Centerpoint for transmission and delivery of the electricity. Your average rate is based on whether you use 500, 1,000 or 2,000 kWh’s in a billing cycle. For example, in an average month, apartments may use an average of less than 1,000, mid-sized house 1,000 to 2,000, and larger houses 2000+ kWh’s.

Louis Gossett, Jr., is an iconic actor, trusted public figure and social activist who believes the future of our planet will depend on the adoption of clean energy.

Louis grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and was a Broadway star at age seventeen. His first job out of college was his performance in “A Raisin in the Sun,” in which he appeared with Sidney Poitier. His Emmy-winning 1977 performance in the landmark miniseries “Roots” made him a star, and in 1982 he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in “An Officer and a Gentleman.” Some of Louis’ favorite roles also included performances in “Enemy Mine,” in which he played an alien, as well as “Diggstown” and “Iron Eagle.” In 2013, he was the voice of the slave Solomon Northup in the audiobook version of “12 Years a Slave”.

In 2006, Louis started the foundation Eracism, a foundation dedicated to eradicating racism and violence, and creating programs to give children at risk a helping hand.

In the sample EFL below, you’ll see that TriEagle Energy’s EFL is very simple and straight-forward with no gimmicks. TriEagle charges only a low base fee of $4.95 plus the energy rate in the plan. Your average rate is based on whether you use 500, 1,000 or 2,000 kWh’s in a billing cycle. For example, in an average month, apartments may use an average of less than 1,000, mid-sized house 1,000 to 2,000, and larger houses 2000+ kWh’s.
