Price vs use among Texas suppliers

Each dot is one of the 145 Texas utilities reporting both a residential price and residential sales in 2024, placed by its rank percentile within that group rather than its raw value, so one very large utility cannot flatten the rest. Bubble size follows customers served, rank-scaled so a utility with millions of customers cannot swamp the rest. Value Based Brands LLC is highlighted. In Texas the cheapest rate belongs to Southern Federal Power, LLC (7.91¢) while the smallest implied annual bill belongs to Light Energy, LLC ($451) - a household's bill is price multiplied by consumption, so the two rankings are different lists. 2×2 strategic matrix plotting 145 entities by Price rank percentile (100 = most expensive in state) (X) and Consumption rank percentile (100 = heaviest use) (Y), with a crosshair dividing the plot into four quadrants.

FAQ

Common questions about Value Based Brands LLC retail price

How much does Value Based Brands LLC charge per kWh?
Value Based Brands LLC reported an average residential price of 16.85¢ per kWh across its bundled residential customers in the 2024 EIA Form 861 release. That is an annual average across all its residential customers, not a rate schedule, so an individual bill depends on the tariff, usage pattern and season.
Is Value Based Brands LLC expensive compared with the rest of Texas?
Its average residential price is above the Texas customer-weighted average of 15.05¢ per kWh, a difference of +11.9%. The state figure is weighted by customers across the 145 utilities reporting residential service in Texas.
What is the average electricity bill for Value Based Brands LLC customers?
Dividing reported residential sales by residential customers gives about 14,372 kWh per customer per year. At the reported average price that implies roughly $2,421 a year, or about $202 a month. This is RateWatt's arithmetic on two EIA columns, not a figure EIA publishes.
Who owns Value Based Brands LLC?
EIA classifies Value Based Brands LLC as Retail Power Marketer, a competitive supplier selling energy to customers in a retail-choice market. Nationally, the customer-weighted average across Retail Power Marketer utilities was 16.81¢ per kWh in the 2024 Form 861 release.
