EnergyBot rates are updated in real time. Partners don’t influence our content, but we may mention their plans. How we make money.
Most of Austin is served by Austin Energy, the city’s publicly owned utility. That means many homes and businesses don’t have energy choice. But some areas within Austin city limits and surrounding areas do fall in deregulated zones, where you can compare plans and choose your electricity provider.
Not sure which one applies to you? Just enter your zip code and we’ll show you what options you have.
If you’re in a deregulated part of Austin, here’s what that means for your business:
• You can compare plans from 25+ energy providers.
• If your bill is under $500/month, you’ll likely find a great rate through a quick online comparison.
• If your bill is over $500/month, a custom quote might get you a better deal—we’ll shop for you based on your usage and preferences.
If you're in a regulated area, like most of Austin, you won't be able to switch providers, but we can still help you understand your rates and usage.
We’re here to simplify energy shopping. Whether you can choose your provider or not, EnergyBot helps you make smarter energy decisions—without confusion or fine print.
Most of Austin is served by Austin Energy, a city-owned utility. That means you don’t have electricity choice if you're in their service area. But some zip codes within city limits are still deregulated. You can enter your zip code on our site to find out.
Austin Energy is a regulated utility. That means they manage generation, delivery, and billing. In deregulated parts of Texas, private companies compete for your business, but that’s not how it works in most of Austin.
Some areas on the edges of Austin, like parts of Pflugerville, Manor, or Sunset Valley, fall outside Austin Energy’s service area. These are usually served by providers like Oncor or CenterPoint, which are in deregulated zones.
Just enter your zip code on EnergyBot. We’ll instantly tell you whether you can compare providers or if you're in a regulated area. You can also check the Austin Energy Service Map.
If you’re in Austin Energy territory, switching isn’t possible. You’ll stay with them for electricity service. But we can still help you understand your rates or explore ways to lower your usage.
Texas deregulated most of the state’s electricity market in 2002. But some cities, like Austin, San Antonio, and El Paso,chose to keep their local utilities and stay regulated.
When you can choose your provider, you can compare plans, lock in better rates, and avoid hidden fees. It creates competition, which often leads to lower costs.
If your address qualifies, we’ll show you personalized plans in seconds. No hidden fees, no confusing terms, just clear options based on your actual usage.
In 7 years of working to demystify the energy industry, EnergyBot has helped over 100,000 customers. Whether you're looking to find the cheapest electricity rate, a stable contract that fits your budget, or plan for unique energy needs, we’ve been there to help. And we've gotten pretty darn good at it, with over 2,000 5-star reviews and millions in savings for our customers.
By pulling real energy usage data and sharing expert insights directly with you, we're empowering you to take control of your electricity bill. Whether that means cutting your monthly bill, improving energy efficiency, or both — we're always here to help.
Most importantly, we're here to help you save money. Not to sell you something you don’t need. We're paid a small commission fee by electricity providers when you sign a contract — not out of your rate. That means we can help you make the best energy decision for your home or business without taking a dime from your wallet.
