10 Reasons to Switch to BKV Energy

Looking for a new Texas electricity provider?

Here are 10 reasons to choose BKV Energy’s Bluebonnet plan to power your home.

1. No base charges

The Bluebonnet plan has no base charges! We don’t believe in charging extra for no reason.

Some providers add $9.95 every month, no matter how much power you use.

2. No minimum usage fees

We also don’t include minimum usage fees, because it doesn’t make sense to punish Texas homeowners and renters for using less power.

3. Annual loyalty payout

We pay eligible customers every November with ElectroShare!

The longer you stick with us, the more you’ll get paid.

Month	Payout that year	Avg.	High	Low	Payout so far
NOV 2026	TBD	TBD	TBD	TBD	TBD
NOV 2025	$250,000	$57	$143	$22	$363,000
NOV 2024	$113,000	$43	$88	$22	$113,000

4. No gimmicky “free” nights

Free nights plans usually end up costing more than you expect because the daytime energy charge is incredibly expensive.

With the Bluebonnet plan, you get a low rate all day, every day.

5. No misleading bill credits

Our advertised rates aren’t trying to trick you into signing up for an expensive plan.

What you see is what you get.

6. Get cheaper rates in the middle of your contract

Bluebonnet plan customers get access to Reduce Your Rate.

When energy prices drop, we’re able to offer lower rates in the middle of your contract.

We are the only provider proactively looking to give customers lower prices.
