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.

I love Spark. I loved their services. They’re very quick and efficient to respond to any questions that I have. It was never a hassle to get any information cleared. Overall, Spark is budget-friendly and offers efficient electricity.
It's a pleasure to read your feedback about our services. We appreciate your kind words and your business. Thank you for sharing your experience.
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.
Thank you, you have successfully subscribed to our newsletter! Enjoy reading our tips and recommendations.
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.
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.
Spark Energy had the lowest rate and it was a year-by-year thing. It was simple to switch but once I signed up and did everything, I didn't hear from anyone until I got something in the mail maybe a month later.
We're glad to hear that your enrollment process was simple. If you enrolled online and provided an email address, you would've received an email confirmation. Please note that mail times can be long as there have been issues with USPS.
Spark Energy charged their fees per kilowatt-hour, so I went with them. Based on my usage, the fixed-rate made the most sense. My experience with them has been favorable.
We're grateful that you chose our company to be your energy supplier. Thank you for your business and for leaving us a review.
I've had Spark for a long time and I like their rates. I’m also satisfied with their service and when I dealt with their reps, it was a good interaction.
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding our customer service and rates. We appreciate your business and hope that we remain your supplier for many years to come.
I was with Reliant before and one of my friends referred me to Spark Energy. Since then, I'm doing well. I'm paying the lowest cost since I've been in America. Whatever the charge was fair. So far, I'm happy with their services. I also brought one guy onboard this year.
It's great to hear that you are happy with our service. Thank you for your business and sharing your experience.
