Products and services

Champion Energy Services offers various retail electricity plans based on market and customer type. All customers can choose fixed-price plans, which lock in electricity rates for the duration of the contract. Commercial customers have access to more complex options, including index-based, hybrid (fixed and index), block and index, and layered purchase plans. These options are tailored to individual customers, involve greater participation, and carry different risk profiles compared to fixed-price plans. [3]

The company was ranked “Highest in Residential Customer Satisfaction with Retail Electric Service” by J.D. Power in its Texas Residential Retail Electric Provider Customer Satisfaction Studies from 2010 to 2013 and again from 2015 to 2016. [4] It has also received an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, was named “Best Texas Electricity Provider” for three consecutive years by Texas Electricity Ratings, and holds a 5-star rating from the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
