Discount Power plans

Discount Power offers fixed- and variable-rate plans to suit a variety of customer needs and budgets. You can access and sign up for several Discount Power plans through the SaveOnEnergy marketplace. The following Discount Power plans are currently available:

Wise Buy 24

This fixed-rate plan has a contract length of 24 months and waives your service charge if you use more than 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power per month. If you decide to switch plans before your contract ends, there is a $295 early termination fee (ETF).

Bill Credit Bundle 12 and 24

These fixed-rate energy plans have either a 12-month or 24-month contract. For every month you use 1,000 kWh or more of power, you gain a $100 bill credit. The 12-month contract has an ETF of $150, while the 24-month deal has an ETF of $295. You won’t be charged an ETF if you cancel your contract because you’re moving out of the Discount Power service area.

Discount Power service areas

As a Texas energy provider, Discount Power plans are available across the state, including in the following utility service areas.

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup

  • Read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains important information, including:
    • Price per kilowatt-hour based on usage
    • % renewable energy sourcing
    • Early termination fees
  • Let your supplier handle your setup. Once your order has been confirmed, your new supplier will set up service with your utility, or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
  • Understand your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure including meters and power lines. Your utility fees can be found as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.

How to move or transfer service with Discount Power

If you’re a current Discount energy customer and plan on moving within the company’s service area, you can bring your plan to your new residence. Just make sure to let the company know before your move so they can transfer your plan.

But if you’re moving outside Discount Power’s territory, you’ll need to find a new plan — and SaveOnEnergy can help. Type in your ZIP code to find out what’s available in your area.

Discount Power FAQs

  • Like many electricity providers, Discount Power runs a credit check. If your score doesn’t meet their threshold, you’ll have to pay a deposit to start your service. You can explore no-deposit plans in your area on the SaveOnEnergy marketplace if you’d prefer to avoid this initial fee.

  • Discount Power customer service is available every day between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. CDT. You should call 1-877-455-4674.

  • The first step is to enter your ZIP code on the SaveOnEnergy marketplace so we can show you all the plans available in your area. Then, select Discount Power from the “providers” option in our search filter. You’ll find the Discount Power plans for your area to compare. You can read through the Electricity Facts Label of each plan to learn more and get signed up online once you’ve made your choice.

  • The best Discount Power electric plan will depend on your personal energy needs. If you’re looking for something long-term and predictable, you’ll want a fixed-rate plan. If you need something more flexible, consider a variable-rate plan. Take into account the size of your home and your typical energy usage before committing to a plan. Check out our guide to energy usage to help calculate how much electricity you use.
