Plan Types & Features
- Fixed-Rate Plans: These are APG&E flagship fixed-rate plans, available in terms from 8 to 36 months. They offer a locked-in price per kWh, protecting you from seasonal price spikes. Unlike “gimmick” plans, these have straightforward terms without complex usage tiers.
- Bill Credit Plans: Designed for medium-to-large households, the SimpleSaver plans offer bill credits ($95 to $168 depending on the plan) once your monthly usage hits 1,000 kWh. This credit effectively lowers your average electricity rate significantly if you consistently use at least 1,000 kWh.
- Renewable Energy Plans : For eco-conscious Texans, these 100% renewable plans allow you to support green energy without any hidden fees or minimum usage requirements. It is a fixed-rate plan that secures your price for up to three years.
- Same-Day Connection: APG&E offers rapid service activation. If you enroll by 3:00 p.m. CT (Mon–Fri) or by 12:00 p.m. on Saturday, you can often get your power turned on the same day.
- Level Billing: To avoid high summer bills, APG&E offers “Level Billing.” They average your last 12 months of usage to create a predictable, flat monthly payment, settling any over or under-billing once a year.

Things to Check Before Switching
- Contract Term & Early Termination Fees (ETFs): Fixed-rate plans may include an ETF. Under Texas PUC rules, you can switch to a new provider without paying this fee if you move or your switch occurs within 14 days or less of your contract’s expiration. These fees are structured in one of two ways. Flat Fee: A set dollar amount (typically $150 to $350 for APG&E) regardless of how much time is left. Variable Fee: A specific dollar amount multiplied by the number of months remaining on your contract (e.g., $20 per month).
- Plan Structure: Check whether your plan includes any usage-based bill credits or minimum usage requirements to ensure the rate is genuinely beneficial for your household size.
- Utility Delivery Fees: Standard TDU/utility charges still apply, and these are included in your estimated rate but can vary by region.
- Renewable Plan Premiums: Often green plans may cost slightly more; review renewable content and benefits to ensure they match your goals.

FAQs
What are APG&E’s Early Termination Fees (ETFs)?
For fixed-rate contracts, the ETF typically scales with the length of the plan. Standard fees for 2026 range from $150 (for 12-month terms) to $350 (for 36-month terms). This fee is waived if you provide proof that you are moving to a new address.
Can I get a deposit waiver?
Yes. You may qualify for a $0 deposit if you are 65 or older, can provide a “letter of credit” from a previous provider showing 12 months of on-time payments, or meet specific low-income or medical indigency requirements.
What happens when my contract expires?
APG&E will notify you 30 days before your plan ends. If you don’t renew or switch to a new plan, your account will automatically transition to a month-to-month variable rate. These rates are typically much higher than fixed-rate plans, so it is important to renew before your term ends.
How can I pay my bill?
APG&E offers several convenient payment methods, including MasterCard, Visa, and Discover through their “Quick Pay” portal or mobile app. You can also pay by phone, mail, or in person at any ACE Cash Express location.
