    Are you a Texan looking to choose the best electricity provider for your home? We understand the importance of making an informed decision when it comes to your energy needs. In this article, we’ll compare two popular energy providers in Texas: TXU Energy and Direct Energy. However, before we delve into the details, let’s introduce you to BKV Energy (or BKVE for short), your honest and transparent alternative.

    Now, let’s compare TXU Energy and Direct Energy in various aspects:

    Comparing TXU & Direct’s Mission Statements

    Comparing TXU vs Direct by Types of Plans Offered

    Both TXU and Direct Energy offer a variety of plans, some of which employ gimmicks to entice customers. These gimmicks can sometimes end up costing you more in the long run due to hidden fees and seasonal pricing changes.

    • Direct Energy: Offers 23 plans based on common gimmicks, including Base Fee, Bullseye, and Free Weekends plans.
    • TXU Energy: Offers Base Fee and Free Nights plans, all of which come with gimmicks.

    In contrast, BKV Energy offers simple, no-gimmick plans, including Simple Fixed Rate, Solar Buyback, and 100% Renewable Energy plans.

    Compare Plan Pricing Between Direct & TXU

    Pricing in your actual area may differ, but for comparison sake we look at pricing in the Houston area:

    • One of Direct Energy‘s lower priced plans is the Direct Solar Unlimited 24 plan, priced at 15.5¢ per kWh for a home using an average of 2,000 kWh per month. This is a Base Fee type plan, which is a gimmick plan.
    • One of TXU Energy‘s lower priced plans is the Solar Buyback Match 36 plan, priced at 16.3¢ per kWh for a home using 1,000 kWh per month on average. This is a Base Fee plan, another gimmick plan.

    In contrast, BKV Energy offers the Bluebonnet 13 plan, a simple (no gimmicks) plan priced at 14.6¢ cents per kWh based on an average of 2,000 kWh usage per month.

    Comparing Direct vs TXU’s Service Areas

    • TXU Energy serves larger cities like Houston, Dallas, Austin, Fort Worth, Arlington, Corpus Christi, Plano, Irving, Laredo, Garland​ and many more.
    • Direct Energy covers cities including Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Corpus Christi, and many more.
    • BKV Energy stands out by serving these and over 156 cities all over Texas.

    In conclusion, while TXU Energy and Direct Energy are popular choices for electricity providers in Texas; they often use gimmick-laden plans that can end up costing you more in the long run. In contrast, BKV Energy strives to bring honesty and simplicity to the communities and people it serves, offering transparent pricing, clear terms, and no hidden fees or surprise charges. Make the right choice for your energy needs and choose BKV Energy for a fair and honest energy experience.

    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 TXU and Direct 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 TXU and Direct 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 Direct Energy and TXU 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 TXU and Direct 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 TXU DIRECT BKVE
    Simple Fixed Rate

    A Simple Fixed Rate plan is a fixed rate plan that has no other gimmicks associated with it (see Gimmick Plans below).

    11 Plans:
    TXU offers 11 Fixed Rate plans, but none of them are “simple” as they have either a base fee gimmick attached.
    21 Plans:
    Direct offers 21 Fixed Rate plans, but none of them are “simple” as they have either a base fee, bullseye, or bill credit gimmick attached.
    7 Plans:

    BKV Energy offers 7 Simple Fixed Rate plans with no gimmicks:

    • Bluebonnet 12
    • Bluebonnet 13
    • Bluebonnet 24
    • Bluebonnet 36
    • Bluebonnet Green 12
    • Bluebonnet Green 24
    • Bluebonnet Green 36
    100% Renewable

    A plan that only uses renewable sources.

    TXU does not currently offer gimmick-free Full Renewable plans. Direct does not currently offer gimmick-free Full Renewable plans. 3 Plans:

    BKV Energy offers 3 Full Renewable plans with no gimmicks:

    • Bluebonnet Green 12
    • Bluebonnet Green 24
    • Bluebonnet Green 36
    Solar Buyback

    When the electricity company credits you for the excess energy your solar panels generate.

    TXU does not currently offer Solar Buyback plans. Direct 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.

    TXU does not currently offer Variable Rate plans. Direct 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 TXU and Direct 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 TXU DIRECT 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
    2 Plans:
    TXU has 2 plans that use the Free Nights gimmick.
    • Free Nights & Solar Days 12 (8 pm)
    • Free Nights & Solar Days 24 (8 pm)
    Direct 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.

    TXU does not have plans with a Bullseye currently. 3 Plans:
    Direct has 3 plans that use the Bullseye gimmick.
    • Live Brighter 1K+ 24
    • Live Brighter Lite 12
    • Live Brighter Lite 24
    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:
    TXU has 13 plans that use the Base Fee gimmick.
    • Flex Forward
    • Flex Rewards

    No Gimmicks

    BKV Energy plans don’t include base fees because instead of adding an extra fee to your bill, we only charge for the energy you actually consume.

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

    BKV Energy does not offer gimmicky free weekends plans because most Texans end up spending more on energy due to elevated weekday kWh rates, even with free weekends.

    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
    TXU does not have plans with a Bill Credit currently. 2 Plans:
    Direct has 2 plans that use the Bill Credit gimmick.
    • Direct Solar Unlimited 12
    • Direct Solar Unlimited 24
    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
    TXU does not have plans with a EV Charging currently. Direct 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.
