Is Champion Energy the REP for Me?
There’s an old quote saying that “Everything’s bigger in Texas.” That saying couldn’t be more true when it’s used in reference to the energy market in Texas. Not only is the Lonestar State the biggest producer of oil and fossil fuels, but we also produce more wind power and have more wind farms than any other state in the country.
Texas also has an astounding number of retail electric providers (REPs) who sell the electricity created by these fossil fuels and wind farms. There are currently close to 150 REPs, and most of them are in stiff competition with one another. Unlike other states where homeowners and renters are stuck with whatever electric company happens to be close by, Texans have the power to choose their own electric provider. Champion Energy, which we’ll learn more about today, is one of those many REPs that you have to choose from.
Who is Champion Energy?
Champion Energy is a retail electric provider based out of Houston, Texas. They were founded in 2005 and operate in several states, including Texas, Ohio, Delaware, New Jersey, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Washington DC, and New York. Apart from the standard residential electricity plans they offer, Champion also deals with commercial, industrial, and governmental entities.
Since its founding, Champion has been one of the fastest and steadiest growing power companies in the country. They currently supply electricity to over 2 million residential customers, plus an unknown number of commercial, industrial, and government customers.
What Types of Plans Does Champion Energy Offer?
Champion Energy offers many different plans to its residential customers. It typically provides around six different plan options no matter where you’re located.
Fixed-Rate Plans
Fixed-rate plans are the primary type of electricity plan that Champion Energy offers. They offer three different options of 12 months, 24 months, and 36 months. Fixed-rate plans work by locking you into the rate you sign up at. So, if the going rate of electricity is 15 cents/kWh when you sign up, the rate won’t change throughout the duration of your contract.
The most popular plan from Champion is their 12-month fixed-rate plan, the Champ Saver 12. People tend to gravitate towards this plan so that they can opt-out and shop for something different at the end of one year. However, your electricity rates will typically be two to three cents more than if you sign up for the two or three-year plan.
Green Energy Plans
Champion Energy also offers a 12-month fixed-rate green energy plan where 100% of your monthly bill goes towards funding the research and development of electricity from renewable resources. Champion’s green energy plan is sourced entirely from wind power, Texas’s preferred method of green energy.
Free Weekends Plan
One of the newer methods that electricity companies are enticing their customers is with the temptation of free electricity on the weekends. Champion Energy’s free weekends’ plan includes free, unlimited electricity from midnight on Friday until midnight on Sunday. Essentially all day Saturday and Sunday, you have free energy! However, electricity typically costs more during other parts of the week when it isn’t free with these plans.
Senior Citizen Plan
The senior citizen plan that Champion Energy offers is definitely a nice touch. It shows that they value the elders of Texas and want to reward them with a solid, long-term electricity plan.
Is Champion Energy Available in My Area?
Champion Energy is available in almost all areas of Texas that offer deregulated electricity. This includes the major cities of Houston, Dallas, Waco, Midland, Fort Worth, and more. The best way to find out which plans you qualify for and if it’s the best option for you, is to contact us at EnerGenie. We’ll enter your zip code into our database and see if Champion is available and preferable in your area!
What's so Special About Champion Energy?
While Champion Energy offers an impressive variety of plans, so do a ton of other electricity companies. Are there things that set Champion apart from the competition, or are they just another successful power company?

They offer free, 24/7 customer service, the ability to use Smart Tracking to track your electricity usage, and no minimum usage requirements. Their 24 and 36-month plans also include $50 of free LED light bulbs and a $50 rebate towards purchasing a smart thermostat.

Non-aggressive Tiered Rates
While nearly all fixed-rate plans have tiered rates where your price goes up or down according to how much electricity you use, Champion Energy’s tiers are smaller than most other companies. Regardless of how much energy you use, you’ll never pay more than .6 cents of the rate you sign up at.
Solar Buyback
Solar buyback is an enticement for Texas residents to add solar panels to their homes. Essentially, you’ll receive monthly credits that you can subtract from your electricity bill if you have solar panels that add electricity to Texas’s power grid. It’s a neat enticement where you get rewarded for making Texas a greener state.
