Pollution Free 18 Premier
The Pollution Free 18 Premier plan is the most affordable of Green Mountain Energy’s fixed-rate plans, securing a low rate for 18 months. As with all of Green Mountain Energy’s plans, it reduces your carbon footprint by offering 100% renewable energy. In Texas, it’s powered by at least 51% Texas wind energy and up to 49% wind power from outside of Texas. This plan charges a $295 early termination fee (ETF) if you end your contract early.
Pollution Free All Nighter 12 Premier
This 100% green energy plan from Green Mountain Energy is a great choice for customers who can limit their daytime energy usage. It features a higher rate from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., but energy usage after those hours is completely free. You’ll secure your rate for 12 months, and there is a $150 charge if you cancel your service early and aren’t moving.
Pollution Free Weekend Warrior 12 Premier
If you tend to use a fair amount of energy during weekday hours, the Weekend Warrior plan might be a good option. This plan features a lower weekday rate than the Free All Nighter plan, but weekend energy is completely free. The Weekend Warrior also includes a secure 12-month rate and a $150 ETF.
Pollution Free e-Plus
Sometimes, you may value flexibility over long-term fixed pricing. The Pollution Free e-Plus plan offers that with a month-to-month contract and the freedom to cancel anytime. You’ll pay for that in the form of fluctuating rates, which may be lower in some months and increase during high-demand seasons.
Go Local Solar 12 Premier
The Go Local Solar 12 Premier plan is a 12-month fixed-rate energy plan powered by 100% solar energy from Texas. Green Mountain Energy charges an ETF of $150 if you end your contract before it expires.

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup
- Don’t forget to 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
- Enjoy hassle-free supplier 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.
- Understanding 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.
