100% Green Plans
They offer straightforward rates (no bill credits), with fixed-rate plans, “free” wind energy nights plans, and solar plans featuring:
Price-protected rates: Almost all of their plans have fixed rates that are locked in until the end of the contract term. Contract lengths usually range from month-to-month to 12, 24, and 36 months.
Pricing: They may not be the cheapest electric company or have the best electricity rates in Texas, but they’re a highly trusted brand and part of the NRG family of light companies.
City rates: Review Green Mountain Energy Houston rates and Dallas rates, and also the rates for over 100 Texas cities.
Here’s a selection of plans:
Pollution Free All Nighter
Get free energy during set nighttime hours for 12 or 24 months, 7 nights per week, with renewable content listed as 100% wind in EFL.
Pollution Free e-Plus Term Length
This is a basic straightforward fixed-rate plan usually offered for 12, 24 and 36 months, renewable content listed as 100% wind.
Pollution Free e-Plus Month to Month
This is a month-to-month flex plan with a variable rate. This type of plan featuring rates which are not fixed can be useful for certain customers, but be cautious because variable rates are more likely to produce bill surprises. For this reason, we don’t display them. Call an operator for help.
Go Local Solar
Energy for this plan is sourced from Texas solar facilities according to the EFL. It’s a straightforward plan. Ask their operator for available term lengths.
Renewable Rewards
Earn credits for excess solar energy produced by your home’s solar panels. Learn more about solar buyback plans.
Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)
By purchasing a 100% green plan, you don’t need to install expensive solar panels on your home.
With the enrollment in a Green Mountain electricity plan, you support cleaner energy by matching your annual paid energy usage with an equivalent quantity of power produced by renewable sources of electric generation in the US.
The company purchases and retires renewable energy certificates (RECs) representing the environmental attributes associated with green energy generation for your paid usage. Customers don’t receive power from a specific generation facility delivered to your home under such REC programs.
Reviews & Ratings
We have gathered Green Mountain Energy reviews from independent review sites, the State of Texas Public Utility Commission Complaints Statistics and other review sources.
We use this information and combine it with our Home Energy Club expertise to determine a Home Energy Club (HEC) rating.

Customer Ratings
The electric company has impressive overall ratings on the reviewed categories, but their energy rates are high compared to other energy providers which specialize in renewable energy (such as Gexa Energy). Thus they have a low rating for pricing.
