Now Power sells prepaid electricity: you put money on your account first, then use power and watch your balance go down. When we checked in October 2026, its plan for Dallas (Oncor) was Free Nights, which has no energy charge from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Delivery charges and fees still apply at night, so it’s not completely free electricity.

How Free Nights works
Based on Now Power’s Free Nights Electricity Facts Label dated October 6, 2026:
- Daytime energy: 18.92¢ per kWh
- Nighttime energy (9 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.): free
- Contract: none, and no cancellation fee. The rate is variable and can change.
Our check only confirmed this plan for ZIP 75201 in the Oncor area. We couldn’t confirm what’s offered in other areas.
How much you use at night makes a big difference
Here’s what the energy charge alone would be for a home using 1,000 kWh a month:
| Share of usage at night | Energy charges only |
|---|---|
| 25% | $141.90 |
| 43% (what the label assumes) | $107.84 |
| 60% | $75.68 |
These figures leave out delivery charges, taxes and fees, so your actual bill will be higher. Every 100 kWh you shift from daytime to nighttime saves about $18.92 at the current rate.
Watch out for the daily low-usage fee
Now Power charges $0.95 for each day you use less than 16 kWh. Twenty low-use days in a month would add $19; thirty would add $28.50. Because it’s measured day by day, your monthly total won’t tell you how many fees you’ll pay. Even if you’re away from home and using very little, you can still rack up these fees.
What it costs to get started
Now Power’s sign-up page advertises a $39 connection amount, but its Electricity Facts Label mentions a starting balance of up to $75, and its prepaid disclosure says utility fees may also apply. Ask Now Power to confirm the full amount due for your address before you pay.
Managing your balance
With prepaid service, keeping your account funded is part of the deal. Now Power’s prepaid disclosure:
- lists a $10 disconnection balance and describes low-balance alerts;
- lists extra fees for some payments and for reconnection;
- notes that if you’re on a deferred payment plan, you may not be able to switch providers until it’s paid off.
Keep your phone number or email up to date for alerts, and find out how quickly a payment shows up on your account.

Texas PUC complaint rating: not yet rated
The Public Utility Commission of Texas rates providers from 1 to 5 based on complaints per 1,000 customers. We couldn’t confirm a current PUC rating for Now Power. That means it hasn’t been listed, not that it scored zero.
The PUC count covers the whole parent company, Brooklet Energy Distribution, which also runs Acacia Energy, Snap Energy Latino and Vital Power. From April through September 2026, it received 22 complaints:
| Complaint type | Count |
|---|---|
| Disconnection of service | 10 |
| Billing | 7 |
| Starting or moving service | 3 |
| Other | 2 |
| Switching without permission (“slamming”) | 0 |
| Unauthorized charges (“cramming”) | 0 |
| Service quality | 0 |
| Total | 22 |
What stands out: the biggest category was disconnections, which is common with prepaid service when a balance runs out. If you choose Now Power, set up low-balance alerts and keep a cushion in your account.
Is Now Power a good fit for you?
Now Power may be a good choice if:
- You need prepaid electricity, for example to avoid a credit check or deposit.
- You can shift a lot of your electricity use to overnight hours.
You might look elsewhere if:
- Your home uses little electricity, or is often empty. The daily low-usage fee can add up fast.
- Most of your usage is daytime air conditioning, charged at 18.92¢ per kWh plus delivery.
- You want a rate that won’t change.
