Read full reviewWhat is Spark Energy?
Spark Energy is an electricity and natural gas provider that offers an alternative to local energy companies. With this company, your utility provider maintains your service, but Spark supplies the energy and sets the rate. You can choose from fixed or variable rates as well as a variety of flat-rate billing options (for some customers). Often, independent energy providers like this one offer lower rates than utility companies.
Spark Energy service
Spark Energy handles the transfer of service from your local energy provider. Once you complete enrollment, its representatives contact the utility company and begin the transfer process. This takes between 15 and 45 days to complete. You’ll still receive one bill from your local utility company, but Spark will be listed as your supplier.
Spark Energy rates
Spark Energy’s pricing is online, including options for fixed and variable rates. Costs for a given area might range from 8 cents to 13 cents per 2,000 kWh. Visit Spark’s website for quotes in your area. If you get service through Centerpoint Energy or ONCOR, you can choose flat billing for 12 months — Spark also offers a fixed-rate plan for households that use more than 2,750 kWh per month and a fixed plan for homes that use fewer than 2,000 kWh monthly.

Everything was always good. The only big thing was Spark Energy's fixed rates were a lot more visible. I was looking at different providers. So, that was a lot easier as far as ease of use was concerned. Otherwise, the rates were competitive with others, and typically, a bit better.
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear your feedback as we strive to provide the best customer experience all around. We appreciate your kind words and your business.
I like that Spark Energy is cheaper, and I have no problem with the service. Keep up the good work and keep the prices down. It's much better than BGE.
Thank you for the thoughtful review. We thoroughly enjoy receiving feedback like yours.
Thank you, you have successfully subscribed to our newsletter! Enjoy reading our tips and recommendations.
The rate has been going a little bit up. However, I've been comparing it with other providers, and it's still good. I haven't had any issue all these years, not even billing or customer service. Everything has been good.
We appreciate you taking the time to share feedback regarding your experience with our service. Spark Energy is very grateful for loyal customers like you.
Spark was within the price that I was looking for. They asked me three questions then told me the fixed rate was the one for me. So far, they're way better than TX Energy and Ambit. I love Spark. I do everything on the website. It's very easy to navigate.
We're so grateful for customers like you. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to supply your home with energy and for taking the time to share your feedback.
My bill went from 130 altogether to 70. I'm really pleased with that. Their reps also were very nice.
We are thrilled to hear about the change you saw on your bill. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to be your supplier.
They called me and I talked to them briefly. It seemed like they're doing an okay job. It would save me money for a year.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your business and honesty about your experience.
I've never had a power outage so Spark is good. They were cheaper than what I was paying earlier. But later on, it started to get more expensive. The price fluctuated, especially last year and this time of the year. I had to call Spark and ask them what was wrong with it because, without any external usage of the electricity, there was a significant difference in what we were paying before. They said that they would send somebody to read the meter, just to see if it's not up-to-date. But nobody showed up.
Thank you for your honest and detailed feedback. We'd be happy to go over your current plan and usage with you. Please email us at officeofthepresident@sparkenergy.com with your account information. We hope to hear from you soon.
I have gas with Spark. It’s good.
Thank you for sharing your experience of our gas service. We'd love to offer you some competitive rates for your electric as well. Feel free to call or email us for more information.
Spark Energy's rate was cheaper than what I was getting and switching over to them was easy.
We're glad to hear that you found a better rate with us. Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your business.
This is my first 5 months with Spark Energy. So far it's been a good relationship after getting through an issue with the initial signup. I plan to renew with Spark Energy and continue our relationship without any other issues along the way.
We’re glad to hear that everything worked out despite the enrollment issue and that you have given us the chance to remain your supplier. Thank you for your business and loyalty.
Customer service is terrible. I needed my service transferred to my new address because I was moving. They never shut down the account for my old address. When I received two invoices and called them about it they told me not to worry about it because it was a mistake. Just like the previous mistake that they had emailed out to everyone confirming plan renewals. As they make mistakes they expect you to pay for it. And will put all the blame on you. Save yourself some time.
We can absolutely understand your frustration and we would like to investigate your concerns to get to the bottom of what happened. Please email us at officeofthepresident@sparkenergy.com with your account details and concerns so we can thoroughly review. Thank you.
