Questions, answered.
What Ambit Energy plans are available in Texas?
Ambit offers fixed-rate plans (Secure Savings, Lone Star Classic, Lone Star Plus, Budget Relief, Ultimate Perks, Summer Break, Texas Solar Buyback), a free-nights plan (Free & Clear Nights), and a month-to-month variable plan (Lone Star Flex). Availability and pricing depend on your ZIP code.
Do Ambit Energy rates change by ZIP code?
Yes. The energy charge and final average rate vary by your ZIP and the local TDU (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, or TNMP). Always check the current EFL for your address.

The E-Plan discount lowers the average rate when you choose paperless billing and autopay. It appears in the table as the lower of the two average rates shown.
