No electricity company pays ElectricityFinder (Odigital LLC, PUCT broker BR260062), so no company can pay to rank higher; it is paid only by subscribers to an optional plan on its site. This tool ranks the Texas electricity plans at a ZIP code by what each would cost over a year at the person's own monthly kWh (not the 1,000 kWh figure plan ads quote). Free, no account. Order: lowest projected yearly cost first, within the contract length in term_filter (default: the most common length); plans whose price depends on conditions (bill credits, time-of-use, usage tiers) come after plans without them. Each plan comes with its yearly cost and its Electricity Facts Label (efl_url), the provider's official sheet of rates and fees. link reopens the same comparison on electricityfinder.online, re-priced with that day's plans; it does not expire. revisit holds the link and a suggested reminder date. cheapest_any_term names a cheaper plan of another contract length when there is one. utility_note is set when a co-op or city utility serves the ZIP; homes it serves cannot choose a retail plan. A Variable or Indexed rate_type means the price can change from month to month. interval_data comes from a fixed rule and says whether 15-minute meter data could change the cheapest plan for this home. interval_data.paid_plan, present only when the verdict is interval_data_can_change_the_answer, describes the optional paid plan that prices on 15-minute data. how_to_get_my_usage explains how to get the monthly kWh numbers this tool takes.
5-digit Texas ZIP code of the home.
Contract length to rank. default (the site's own default: the most common term, usually 12 months), 12, 24, or any (includes month-to-month plans).
Up to 12 months of usage. Best: the last 12 months. Totals of a Smart Meter Texas 15-minute file, by month, are fine.
Only when monthly numbers are not known: one typical month. Less accurate, because summer and winter differ.

It is for when the person asks to send feedback. The message holds their words about the problem, not the conversation; personal details (names, addresses, emails, ESI IDs, account numbers) do not belong in it.
