Pros and cons

Pros

  • fixed at $0.08 holds for a term of 36 months, so the rate you enter on is the rate you pay through the term.
  • Help is offered on email, chat and phone, so a query can go to phone or chat rather than waiting on email.
  • The footprint spans Oncor, CenterPoint and AEP Texas Central, so a meter on either an Oncor or a CenterPoint network, or on ComEd, is in scope.
  • The contract is with a named entity, Base Texas REP, LLC, so the counterparty on the bill is stated plainly.

Cons

  • Tariff choice is a single type, fixed, against fixed, ev and time of use at Electricity Ratings and fixed, time of use and ev at Endesa.
  • Supply is electricity only, electricity, so a combined electricity and gas bill has to be arranged elsewhere.
  • Availability is TX and IL only, across Oncor, CenterPoint and AEP Texas Central territories, so a meter sitting on another network has no plan here to move to.
  • Standing charges in this group run €14.98, which matters more than the unit rate for a home that uses little electricity.

Who it suits

  • Households on the listed footprints, Oncor, CenterPoint and AEP Texas Central, that want a rate held rather than one that moves.
  • Single-fuel electricity customers who are content with fixed as the only type on offer.
  • People who want phone and chat support, both part of email, chat and phone.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone after a time-of-use or electric vehicle tariff: Endesa lists fixed, time of use and ev.
  • Buyers looking for a dynamic or green plan: Powerpeers lists dynamic, fixed and variable.
  • Households that want prepay or green options: Electricity Ratings lists fixed, ev and time of use.

Who runs it

Base Power Company contracts as Base Texas REP, LLC and is headquartered in the United States, so the party named on the bill is the party supplying the electricity. Support runs on email, chat and phone, pairing phone and chat with email and a help centre. Those channels are the route for a question about a bill, a meter read or a change of address once supply is live.

Frequently asked questions

What does the plan cost per unit of electricity?+

The published unit rate is $0.08, and the plan is listed as fixed. That is the per-unit figure, so the bill also picks up a standing charge. Compare the unit rate and the standing charge together rather than weighing one line in isolation.

How long does the price last?+

The term runs 36 months and the tariff type is fixed, so a single unit rate of $0.08 applies across the whole term instead of resetting part way through. A different rate applies once that term is over, which is the point to plan around if your usage is likely to change.

Where can I sign up?+

Supply runs in TX and IL, across the Oncor, CenterPoint and AEP Texas Central service territories. Those are the utility footprints the plan is offered on, so the meter has to sit inside one of them. A meter outside those footprints is out of scope.

Is gas included as well as electricity?+

electricity is the only fuel listed, so this is an electricity plan rather than a combined electricity and gas deal. Households taking gas from the same supplier will need that arranged separately. Suppliers offering a wider set of fuels or tariff types are worth comparing if gas matters to you.

How do I get help when something goes wrong?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone. That means phone and chat alongside email and a help centre, so a billing question can be raised by voice rather than waiting on a written reply. The same set of channels covers a switch, a move or a meter reading.

Who am I actually contracting with?+

The contract is with Base Texas REP, LLC, the legal entity behind the Base Power Company name, and the business is headquartered in the United States. That is the party responsible for the supply and for the terms on the bill, so it is the name to check on any paperwork.

How does the price sit against other suppliers?+

On unit rate the plan sits at 2 of 23 brands compared, which is a strong place to be on the line that drives most of a bill. Standing charges across the same group run €14.98, so check that line too before switching.

How large is the business behind the plan?+

Base Power Company lists 30,000 customers, with supply offered in TX and IL across Oncor, CenterPoint and AEP Texas Central service territories. That is a sizeable book for a single retail brand, and the entity named on the contract is Base Texas REP, LLC.
