    When electricity providers offer extremely low prices, there’s usually a catch…

    1

    Many providers offer plans that seem cheap when you enroll, but end up costing a lot more later on.

    2

    If you don’t consider changes in your home’s seasonal usage, you could end up paying more…much more.

    3

    A simple fixed rate plan is most often the safest bet. We can help you choose the right one!

    Learn What Marketing Tactics Direct and OhmConnect Commonly Use in Their Plans

    Before you select an electricity plan, it’s important to understand more about how the different types of plans offered by providers like Direct and OhmConnect work. First, you need to know how to identify a Gimmicky Plan.

    Standard electricity plans are those you can trust to offer just what they say, without tricks that mislead you about the ultimate price you’ll pay on your electrical bill. However, many providers use “Gimmicky” plans to grab your attention. The prices seem very cheap at first glance, but when you dive a bit deeper you may end up paying much more than you’d expect!

    Examples of standard plans include Simple Fixed Rate, Variable Rate, Solar Buyback, and 100% Renewable Energy plans – but only if they don’t come with certain gimmicks attached. Gimmicky plans typically include “Bullseye” Plans, plans with a Base Fee, EV Charging plans, plans that offer Bill Credits, and Free Nights or Free Weekends.

    Let’s see how OhmConnect Energy and Direct Energy plans stack up, and what types each company offers currently…

    Standard “No Gimmicks” Plans

    The table below shows what types of “standard” plans – plans with no gimmicks – both Direct and OhmConnect offer currently. Check back often, as we keep this data updated daily. You’ll note that BKVE only offers non-gimmick, standard plans to our customers. (Updated 04/25/25)
    Provider / Type of Plan DIRECT OHMCONNECT BKVE

    Direct does not currently offer Solar Buyback plans. OhmConnect does not currently offer Solar Buyback plans.

    BKV Energy may be offering Solar Buyback plans in the future – if it’s best for our customers!

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    Variable Rate

    The price you pay per kilowatt-hour for electricity may be determined by the market or other factors considered by the retail energy supplier. Since the market cost of electricity changes frequently, your rates could too.

    Direct does not currently offer Variable Rate plans. OhmConnect does not currently offer Variable Rate plans.

    BKV Energy doesn’t offer Variable Rate plans because changing market conditions can lead to extremely volatile energy bills. To help you save, we only offer simple fixed rate plans.

    Gimmick Plans

    The table below shows what types of “gimmick” plans both Direct and OhmConnect offer currently. Click on “Learn More” under each type to educate yourself so you can make a better choice in electricity provider. At BKVE, we don’t offer any plans with gimmicks so you know what you’re getting the day you sign up! (Updated 04/25/25)
    Provider / Type of Plan DIRECT OHMCONNECT BKVE
    Free Nights

    Free nights plans are gimmicky because your daytime rate can be 5 to 10 cents higher per kWh compared to a simple fixed rate plan. This creates much higher energy bills during the summer in Texas.

    Learn More
    Direct does not have plans with a Free Nights currently. OhmConnect does not have plans with a Free Nights currently. No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy does not offer gimmicky free nights plans because most Texans end up spending more on electricity thanks to elevated daytime kWh rates, even with the free overnight prices.

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    Bullseye

    Bullseye plans lead with a low average price, but higher prices are hidden in the EFL. That means if you use the wrong amount of energy, your bill can skyrocket.

    3 Plans:
    Direct has 3 plans that use the Bullseye gimmick.
    • Live Brighter 1K+ 24
    • Live Brighter Lite 12
    • Live Brighter Lite 24
    OhmConnect does not have plans with a Bullseye currently. No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy does not offer gimmicky bullseye plans because we prefer to offer a simple fixed plan where your kWh rate remains steady at all usage levels.

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    Base Fee

    Base fee plans are gimmicky because they add an extra charge to your bill regardless of how much energy you consume throughout the month.

    Learn More
    13 Plans:
    Direct has 13 plans that use the Base Fee gimmick.
    • Autopay Texas 12

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    Free Weekends

    Free weekends plans are gimmicky because they increase your price per kWh during the week to make up for your free usage over the weekend. Plus, the window of time your energy is “free” might be shorter than you expect.

    Learn More
    1 Plans:
    Direct has 1 plans that use the Free Weekends gimmick.
    • Free Power Weekends 24 Auto Pay
    OhmConnect does not have plans with a Free Weekends currently. No Gimmicks

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    Bill Credit

    Bill credit plans are gimmicky because they tease a reward when you use a specific amount of energy. When you don’t hit the mark, your rates go up significantly making your bill much higher.

    Learn More
    2 Plans:
    Direct has 2 plans that use the Bill Credit gimmick.
    • Direct Solar Unlimited 12
    • Direct Solar Unlimited 24
    OhmConnect does not have plans with a Bill Credit currently. No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy does not offer plans with bill credits because we prefer to offer a simple fixed rate instead. Most gimmicky bill credit plans come with higher kWh rates so you end up with a higher bill even with the credit applied.

    Check Out BKVE Plans
    EV Charging

    EV charging plans are gimmicky because while you’re receiving lower cost or free energy at night to charge your vehicle, your kWh rate during the day is higher than average. 70% of your energy consumption occurs during the daytime, so your bill is higher even with those free hours.

    Learn More
    Direct does not have plans with a EV Charging currently. OhmConnect does not have plans with a EV Charging currently. No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy does not offer gimmicky EV charging plans because most homeowners will end up spending more on electricity thanks to elevated daytime kWh rates, even with the free or reduced overnight prices.

    COMPANY BIO:

    OhmConnect, founded in California in 2020, made its entry into the Texas deregulated energy market in 2022. The company’s approach is unique in the energy sector, focusing on rewarding customers for energy savings. Led by CEO Don Whaley and others, OhmConnect emphasizes innovation in energy management.

    The company’s headquarters for its Texas operations is located at 2100 West Loop South Suite 900, Houston, TX 77027. They can be reached via phone at 855-961-4646. The guiding mission of OhmConnect is to improve the lives of people and the health of the planet. This is reflected in their Equity, Access, and Outreach Committee’s initiatives to combat systemic inequity in the workforce and the communities they serve.

    OhmConnect’s services in Texas are centered around providing customers with affordable electricity and the opportunity to participate in energy savings events for cash rewards. Their business model is unique in that they notify customers when electricity demand is spiking, allowing them to reduce usage during these critical periods. In return, customers earn cash rewards, as OhmConnect “sells” the power saved back to the grid. This not only benefits the consumers but also helps in reducing stress on the grid.

    Their services in Texas include fixed-rate electricity plans with no hidden fees and a rewards program that incentivizes energy saving. These plans are simple to understand and promise transparency and affordability. During periods of high energy demand, customers can reduce their energy usage and earn rewards, thus contributing to grid stability and receiving monetary benefits. They also offer a unique feature that allows customers to future-date their switch to OhmConnect Energy by up to 90 days, accommodating those who are currently under different contracts.

    OhmConnect is operational in several Texas cities, including Houston, Dallas, Arlington, Corpus Christi, Fort Worth, Katy, and Killeen. Their entry into the Texas market comes at a crucial time, with the state facing challenges related to extreme weather events and grid stress. OhmConnect’s technology and service model offer a way for Texans to take control of their energy bills, earn passive income, and contribute to preventing power outages.

    In summary, OhmConnect offers an innovative approach to energy consumption in Texas, focusing on rewarding customers for their energy-saving efforts and contributing to a more sustainable and resilient energy grid.
