APG&E Review and Ratings
Last updated:
APG&E (AP Gas & Electric) is a Houston-based retail electricity provider serving residential and commercial customers across the Texas deregulated market. They distinguish themselves by marketing "simple" fixed-rate plans without the complex usage credits or gimmicks often found in the market. APG&E focuses primarily on straightforward fixed-price contracts and 100% renewable energy.
APG&E: What we like
- Their offerings focus exclusively on True Fixed plans, and their Electricity Facts Label (EFL) is straightforward and easy to understand.
- APG&E is a BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating.
APG&E: What we don’t like
- APG&E displays inconsistent pricing even within its own online offers, as the rates and Electricity Facts Labels shown on this comparison link often do not match the offers listed on its main landing page. In addition, the company maintains partnerships with different websites, where plan rates can vary moderately depending on the source.
- Their most competitive rates are typically posted on the Power to Choose marketplace rather than on their own website.
- They hold a poor score with the Public Utility Commission of Texas that correlates directly with a higher volume of customer complaints.
- Their cancellation fees are significantly higher than the market average.

How We Rate This Company
- PUCT Rating: This is the official scorecard published by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT).
- Plan & Rates: We evaluate each company’s electricity rates by giving more weight to clear True Fixed plans and less weight to other fixed-type plans, using average prices across different contract lengths. Companies with lower average rates score higher, and we exclude complex or gimmicky offers that require special equipment (like smart thermostats, EV devices, seasonal pricing, or “highest usage day” rewards).
- Cancellation Fees: We compare each plan’s early termination fee against similar plans from other providers and normalize the data. Lower cancellation fees per contract term result in better scores.
- Transparency: We check how consistently the provider displays prices across the main shopping channels Texans use: Power to Choose, the company’s own website, and Google Ads. If the prices match across these places, the transparency score goes up. If the company advertises one price but charges something different on its site, the score goes down.
- CEF Score: The overall Clear Energy Facts score is a weighted average of these sub-scores, giving you a single number you can use to compare providers side by side.
Data note: Except for the PUCT Rating (which comes directly from the official PUCT scorecard), all CEF scores are calculated using real, up-to-date plan data from each provider. We recalculate these scores regularly using current Electricity Facts Labels and plan details — we don’t guess or use hidden assumptions.
Clear Energy Facts ratings focus on plan structure, transparency, and pricing. They do not include direct customer service scores. For that, we recommend checking recent Google Reviews and other independent sources, and being cautious with “star ratings” shown on sponsored comparison sites.
APG&E Plans & Current Rates (Dec 2025)
Note: CEF selects plans based on value to the customer. For this review, we generally exclude complex seasonal plans that usually offer poor value, high-rate fixed plans, and high-rate bill credit plans. For a complete list of available plans and terms, always check the provider's website. We display the latest update date for each plan, showing when the EFL and its information were collected. CEF verifies rates twice per week. Always check the provider’s website for the most current EFL and rates.

Customer Service Review in Detail
PUCT complaint record
Ranked #32 of 42 companies
In this section we focus on the company’s customer service, using the official complaint data from the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT).
1. PUCT scorecard rating. This score shows how this provider compares to other Texas electricity companies based on the number of customer complaints the PUCT receives about them.
2. What the PUCT scorecard means. The PUCT publishes a scorecard that rates Retail Electric Providers based on their complaint history. It compares a company's market share to its share of complaints filed with the state. Companies that resolve issues before customers feel the need to contact the PUCT receive higher ratings (5 Power Circles), while companies that frequently force customers to escalate issues receive lower ratings.
If a company does not have a PUCT rating (or we show “No rating”), it usually means there is not enough historical data for the PUCT to calculate a score. This typically happens when a company is new to the market or has a customer base too small to be statistically compared to larger providers.
