Problem
Texas electricity consumers face confusing rate structures and hidden fees that make it difficult to identify the truly cheapest fixed‑rate plans for their usage patterns. Without transparent, usage‑based comparisons, many end up on “free night” or credit‑based plans that appear low‑cost but can cost more over time.
Solution
Clear Energy Facts offers an independent, AI‑driven comparison platform that aggregates over 200 fixed‑rate electricity plans—including Power to Choose offers—and ranks them from cheapest to most expensive based on a user’s actual consumption. By securely importing smart‑meter data, the service breaks down usage hour‑by‑hour and applies each plan’s pricing rules extracted from Electricity Facts Labels to generate accurate monthly cost estimates. The platform classifies plans into clear categories (True Fixed, Tiered, Time‑of‑Use, Free Weekends, etc.) and presents apples‑to‑apples comparisons without provider bias. Users can view projected bills before enrollment and are directed to the provider’s site to complete sign‑up, ensuring informed decisions and potential savings.
