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.
Your lowest-cost plans, priced on 12 months
Every fixed-rate plan in your area that we can price · your usage, month by monththe estimated cost of shopping by the state’s number, depending on the household
Your report ranks them on your usage and shows each plan’s estimated annual cost, with the document behind every figure.
Illustration, not your result. Gap measured across our priced plans, August 2026 — an estimate on modeled usage, never a promise of savings.
Shopping on your own vs. watt marshal
Power To Choose is free and useful. It just sorts every plan by one number — the price at exactly 1,000 kWh — and a lot of plans are built to win that sort.
Built to be on your side, only.
Independent
Our only customer is the household buying the report. No provider has ever paid us, and none can.
Transparent math
Every annual figure opens into its line items — energy charge, base charge, credits, delivery — with the documents they came from.
Private by design
We ask for your meter's ESI ID — the number that identifies your address on the grid — and nothing else about you. Card details never reach us.
One-time, no strings
One flat fee for the report. Re-run it if your usage or your area's plans change. No subscription to cancel.
How it works
Four short screens, about two minutes. The only number you need from your bill is your ESI ID, at the end.
Tell us your ZIP
We name the utility that delivers power in your ZIP where five digits can settle it, and say plainly when they cannot: the area isn't in the market, we haven't added that utility yet, or the ZIP is split between utilities. A ZIP is the first answer, not the last — some addresses inside a competitive ZIP are served by a co-op or a city utility instead.
Pick a home size — or type your twelve months
A size is a fair stand-in. Real months from your bills or Smart Meter Texas are better.

Questions
When does it open?
2026, in 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, you don't shop for a provider and watt marshal can't help yet. Areas we serve has the list.
How is watt marshal paid?
By you, once, for one report. We take no commission, referral fee or placement money from any electricity provider, which is what keeps the ranking honest.
Is the estimate a quote?
No. It's what each plan's published rates would have cost on your twelve months of usage, on the date we priced it. Your next year's bill depends on your next year's usage. What we promise is that every number is traceable to the document it came from.
Which plans aren't included?
Variable-rate, time-of-use and prepaid plans — the ones whose price moves with the market, the month or the hour. What any of them would cost you over a year depends on things nobody can know in advance, so they can't be ranked honestly against plans whose cost can be pinned down.
Variable rates are the clearest case: every one we track is month-to-month, the rate can change at the provider's discretion, and when we priced the market against the fixed-rate plans sold alongside them, the variable ones came out higher on average — with the lowest-cost fixed plans well below the lowest-cost variable plan in every area we cover. We'd rather leave these plans out and tell you why than put a guess in your report.
