We combine our user submitted reviews along with other reviews from Google, Facebook, Yelp, and the Public Utility Commission to grade providers.
Yvonne was simply the most amazing and informed customer servicevity ecti I have ever had from a retail energy provider EVER!! She knew every answer in deep detail, advised with objectivity and integrity and mastery of the numbers and comparative landscape and thoroughly engendered confidence with the consumer interface that is so rare. Oh...and kindness and competence is still the best blend for growing a business!
Best energy provider in Texas! Stop using brokers. Just call MP2 and have them lock you in for as long as possible. Their rates and service are second-to-none...and you don't have to waste time shopping. Set it, and forget it!!!
Way to costly! Our electric bills have been about 50% more than other electric providers. It also appears that they will not be crediting back our termination fee from Trieagle, who were much less expensive. I'll keep you posted.
Tried to reach to customer service using the contact number from their website. Never get through. No one answer the phone and I tried over 10 times to both their CS numbers. Really disappointed for this type of service.
Our mission is to provide accurate and helpful data and content to help you make an informed decision when comparing energy providers.
Plans and Rates:
We review all available plans from every licensed energy provider. Then we rank the lowest available rate from each provider. Providers then receive a rating based on what percentile their lowest plan ranks.
For example, Provider A has the 3rd lowest-priced plan, while Provider B has the 45th lowest-priced plan out of 46 providers who submitted plans to PUC. Provider A will have a rating of 5, while Provider B will have a rating of 1.
Customer Service:
We scrape online reviews from Google, Yelp, BBB, and Trust Pilot to determine what customers are saying about the provider. The rating reflects the aggregate of all online reviews.
Renewable Options:
The rating system is based on the availability of renewable energy options. A 5-star rating is awarded to entities that offer a fully renewable option, signifying 100% renewable energy usage. A 4-star rating is given to those that provide a mix of energy sources, with more than 50% coming from renewable sources. Entities with renewable energy options exceeding the state average of 31.1% receive a 3-star rating, while those offering less than 31.1% renewable options are rated with 2 stars. Lastly, a 1-star rating is assigned to those with no renewable energy options, indicating a lack of commitment to sustainable energy practices.
PUC Rating:
The Public Utility Commission publishes a rating for each provider based on the number of formal complaints filed against the provider in comparison to how many customers they have.
For example, a provider with 10 formal complaints out of 10,000 customers would have a 1-star rating whereas a provider with 10 complaints and 1,000,000 customers would have a 5-star rating.
The GridHacker rating uses a weighted average that prioritizes rates and customer service over renewable options and PUC rating. We do this because we feel that for most customers price and service are the two most important factors when they are shopping for an electricity plan.
