Gexa Energy Review 2026
Gexa Energy has been serving Texas electricity customers since 2002, making it one of the original retail electric providers when the state deregulated its power market. Now owned by NextEra Energy, the world’s largest renewable energy generator, Gexa has committed to 100% renewable energy across all residential plans since 2020. Customer sentiment is strong, with a 4.8-star rating and an NPS of 78, indicating high satisfaction. However, Gexa’s 139 PUC complaints over the past 12 months places them slightly above the industry average of 120, suggesting some regulatory concerns worth monitoring.

Positive Experiences
Verified
“Edgar R was absolutely amazing and extremely helpful this morning. He spent a full hour walking me through my electricity plan, answering every question I had, and making sure I fully understood my options. He was patient, professional, and never rushed me. You can tell he truly cares about helping customers and doing his job well. Because of Edgar, I feel much more confident about my electricity plan. Thank you so much for the excellent service!”
Verified
“I have been with them for 2 years and will renew again. My customer service rep was great and broke down my monthly usage over the past 2 years to help me pick the best renewal plan.”
Verified
“Signing up to Gexa Energy was easy and efficient with Jaime. He was kind, pleasant and ready to explain to me conditions I was confused about or had questions on. Would definitely recommend Gexa Energy to anyone that needs an energy company to sign up with.”
Verified
“Had a nice gentleman by the name of Daniel who explained everything to me after I was complaining about the bill. He explained it thoroughly and I renewed my plan with them at a cheaper rate. Honestly great help!”
Verified
“Great customer service! We’re moving now and are genuinely sad to say goodbye to Gexa. Gexa is affordable, renewable, and was there for us when we were financially limited. Highly recommend!”
Critical Feedback
Verified
“I just switched from Reliant thinking I was getting a cheaper rate since my contract expired. I found Gexa online with the rate I was paying before. I’ve been paying $160 max with Reliant. I have a house but live alone, just me. My first bill was over $200, I thought okay, I’m new, maybe this was just the first time. No! Now I’m being charged over $300 for my second bill. Don’t get Gexa, take it from me.”
Verified
“Run, don’t walk! I got my first bill of $188 for an apartment. Not to mention a delivery charge of $54. I left Just Energy to come to Gexa Energy. Worst mistake of my life. Yes, all electricity companies charge a delivery fee but $54? People that live in a house don’t pay that much for electricity service. I’ll pay the $150 termination fee – there’s no way I’m paying an almost $200 electricity bill.”
Verified
“Rep called me and informed me that my rates were about to go up from 13.2 to 23.3 if I kept my old plan, so I was offered a two-year plan. I was having trouble understanding what she was saying and she was not understanding me. By her reading her script it was like I was talking to a robot that got lost when I asked questions, which frustrated her and me. It took a while to get to a solution but we finally agreed that I would have to accept higher rates.”

Our Methodology
How We Calculate NPS Scores
Our proprietary scoring system analyzes thousands of customer reviews to provide an unbiased assessment of each electricity provider.
- Data Source: Online Reviews from verified customers
- AI Analysis: We analyze each review to distill sentiment and filter out incentivized reviews, bot-generated content, and review bombing attempts
- True NPS Calculation: We calculate Net Promoter Score as (% Promoters) – (% Detractors), where Promoters rate 9-10 and Detractors rate 1-6
- Star Rating: NPS scores are mapped to a 3.0-5.0 star scale for intuitive comparison
About “Billing Clarity” Scores
This score measures how clearly a provider communicates billing to customers—not billing accuracy. Texas electricity providers have robust, audited billing systems that are highly accurate.
- What we measure: Clarity of bill statements, proactive notifications, explanation of credits and charges, time-of-use rate communication
- Why it matters: Customers often report confusion about bills even when charges are correct—this score reflects how well providers help customers understand their bills
- PUC “billing complaints”: Most are about confusing statements or unexpected (but legitimate) charges, not actual billing errors
Pricing Data Collection
We collect electricity plan pricing directly from official sources to ensure accuracy.
- Data Source: ComparePower, the original Texas electricity consumer advocate
- Update Frequency: Prices are synced daily from all 5 TDSP territories
- Usage Levels: We display pricing at 500, 1000, and 2000 kWh/month to show how rates vary by consumption
- Coverage: All 17 retail electricity providers in the Texas deregulated market
PUC Complaint Data
Complaint data provides insight into provider accountability and customer issues.
- Data Source: Texas Public Utility Commission (PUC) official complaint records
- History: 46+ months of historical complaint data (January 2022 – Present)
- Categories: Billing, Slamming/Cramming, Quality of Service, Disconnection, and Other
- Update Frequency: Monthly updates as new PUC data becomes available
