What is All-Inclusive Pricing?
All-inclusive electricity pricing shows you the total amount you’ll pay, clearly including:
- Energy charges: The price for the electricity you use.
- Delivery fees (TDU charges): Costs for delivering electricity to your home.
- Monthly base charges: Fixed monthly fees, if any.
- Taxes and additional fees: Every mandatory tax and regulatory fee.
With all-inclusive pricing, there are no hidden costs. Everything is upfront, helping you budget accurately and avoid unwelcome surprises.
Why All-Inclusive Pricing Matters
Many advertised electricity rates in Texas look attractive but don’t always show the complete picture. Providers might showcase a low energy rate while omitting delivery fees, monthly charges, or taxes, leading to higher-than-expected bills.
By choosing all-inclusive pricing, you see precisely what your electricity will cost, eliminating surprises and enabling smarter financial decisions.
Bundled vs. Unbundled Rates: What's the Difference?
Texas electricity plans generally have two main cost elements:
- Energy Charges: What does your provider charge for electricity usage?
- TDU Charges: Fees charged by the Transmission and Distribution Utility for electricity delivery.
All Texas providers pass through the exact TDU charges, but how these fees appear on your bill varies:
- Bundled Rates: Combine all charges into a straightforward rate.
- Unbundled Rates: Separate energy and TDU charges.
While both can provide transparency, all-inclusive pricing ensures the total cost is communicated upfront.
What is All-Inclusive Pricing?
Here’s why all-inclusive pricing is your best ally:
- Transparency: See your total monthly bill without hidden fees.
- Easy Comparisons: Quickly compare different electricity plans by their actual total cost.
- Peace of Mind: Make informed decisions, knowing what you’ll pay monthly.
