Electricity shopping made simple
Power Hopper is a Texas electricity plan comparison service operated by BJW Ventures LLC, doing business as Power Hopper, a registered Texas electricity broker with PUCT registration number BR260201. The primary function of the service is to allow consumers to compare electricity plans available in their area, with an emphasis on transparent pricing and access to verified Electricity Facts Labels. The service does not charge fees for comparing plans, and it presents plan details including contract terms and rate structures. The service includes features such as a comparison tool for electricity prices, access to Electricity Facts Labels, and plan details for review. It also highlights flat fixed rate plans, where the energy charge per kilowatt-hour remains the same regardless of usage. The website supports the comparison process with guides on topics such as moving, shopper eligibility, current rates, switching providers, wholesale prices, and ESI ID lookup. The platform is secured with HTTPS. Typical usage involves a Texas electricity customer entering their area information to view available plans, comparing rates and terms side by side, reviewing the associated Electricity Facts Labels, and then deciding whether to switch providers. Power Hopper does not appear to offer plans directly but acts as a broker, facilitating the comparison and switching process. The site also includes general resources about electricity markets and a list of cities served, along with recognition and news content.
