Revolution Energy Review and Ratings
Last updated:
Revolution Energy currently holds a Clear Energy Facts Score of 2.6 out of 5. This places them at rank #40 out of 43. Three factors were evaluated: plan quality, pricing transparency, and customer service.
Revolution Energy: What we like
- Balanced plan portfolio: Revolution Energy offers one of the most balanced portfolios in Texas, with a strong mix of True Fixed Rates, Free Hours, and Free Weekend plans, including multiple 100% renewable options.
- Flexible short-term options: They are a good choice for customers who want to try Free Nights or Free Weekend plans, offering 3- and 6-month contracts that let users test whether changing usage habits makes these plans worthwhile without committing long term.
- Competitive free-hours plans: Their Free Nights and Free Weekend plans are generally competitive, feature reasonable free-hour windows, and often rank among the top 10 options in these categories.
Revolution Energy: What we don’t like
- Minimum usage fees on some plans: Some True Fixed plans include a minimum usage fee when consumption falls below a set threshold (such as 500 kWh). Although this fee is disclosed in the EFL, it is not reflected in the advertised 500 kWh rate, which can lead to higher-than-expected bills for low-usage customers.
- Above-average cancellation fees: Early termination fees are higher than the current market average.
- AutoPay fee: A $5.00 per billing-cycle fee may apply when payments are made by a method other than AutoPay, so customers who don’t use AutoPay can end up paying an extra $5 in months they pay manually.
- Mixed customer feedback: Google reviews over the past year have been limited in volume and mixed in sentiment. In addition, Revolution Energy has recorded low PUCT complaint scores (between 1 and 2) in recent months, which may indicate a higher rate of formal complaints compared to competitors, despite the company emphasizing customer service as a core focus.
- Higher disconnection and reconnection fees: Their disconnection and reconnection charges are higher than typical market levels, which can make missed-payment situations more expensive.

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.
Revolution Energy Non Recurring Fees Analysis
This is a comparison of the non-recurring fees for Revolution Energy. These charges are detailed within the Terms of Service (TOS) and contain critical information regarding penalties for missed payments or other circumstances. Understanding these fees is essential, as some providers enforce harsh penalties while others are more considerate.
This information is updated at the beginning of every quarter. We pull these figures from Oncor TDU plans via Power to Choose or directly from the provider's website. However, a provider's TOS is generally identical across all plans and TDU zones.
| Fee | Revolution Energy | Market (Median) |
|---|---|---|
| Late Payment Charge | 5% | 5% |
| Insufficient Funds / Returned Payment Fee | $35 | $30 |
| Disconnection Notice Fee | $10 | $19.95 |
| Disconnection + Reconnection Fee | $85 | $50 |
Understanding the Charges
- Late Payment Charge: A penalty applied when a monthly bill is not paid in full by the due date.
- Insufficient Funds / Returned Payment Fee: A fee charged if your payment method is declined or a check bounces due to non-sufficient funds.
- Disconnection Notice Fee: A charge for sending a formal warning letter of intent to disconnect service due to non-payment. This is distinct from the actual disconnection fee.
- Disconnection + Reconnection Fee: We bundle these two fees together for clarity. Because some providers charge a high disconnection fee but no reconnection fee (or vice versa), viewing them as a combined total provides a clearer picture of the true cost to restore power.
Note: Please use these values strictly as a reference. Providers often use wording such as "up to" in their terms, meaning actual amounts can vary at the company's discretion.
TDU Charges: The fees listed above are exclusive to the retail energy provider. On top of these, you may incur charges by the TDU (e.g., Oncor, CenterPoint) for physical disconnections or reconnections. TDU charges are pass-through costs and remain exactly the same regardless of which energy provider you use.
Revolution Energy Plans & Current Rates (Mar 2026)
Note: CEF selects plans based on value to the customer. For this review, we aim to avoid redundancy and shorter-term plans. we also 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 #23 of 43 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.
Summary of Real Customer Reviews
At Clear Energy Facts we encourage people to leave reviews on platforms where everyone can read them and companies can respond publicly. From all the options available, we’ve found that Google tends to have some of the most consistent review practices and is a widely trusted source for real customer feedback.
The analysis below is based primarily on Google reviews from roughly the last 12 months, so the information reflects recent customer experiences rather than very old history.
Customer feedback includes positive service interactions while also citing issues with high bills, rate changes, and billing disputes.
