1. Who Is Constellation and Who Owns It?

Constellation Energy Group merged with Exelon Corporation in March 2012. In February 2022, Exelon completed a tax-free spin-off of its competitive power generation and retail energy businesses into an independent publicly traded company, Constellation Energy Corporation (NASDAQ: CEG). In January 2025, Constellation announced an agreement to acquire Calpine Corporation.

Operating History in ERCOT: Certificated in Texas under PUCT REP Certificate #10014 in 2001, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc. is one of the largest competitive commercial, industrial, and residential retail energy suppliers in the United States and ERCOT.

2. Is Constellation a Retail Provider or a Delivery Utility?

Constellation is a Retail Electric Provider (REP), not a local delivery utility. If you enroll with Constellation in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Corpus Christi, or Lubbock, Constellation does not own the poles, wires, or smart meter at your home. Your local Transmission and Distribution Utility (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, TNMP, or LP&L) delivers the electricity, reads the meter, and restores power after storms. Regulated TDU delivery charges are passed through on your bill at the exact same PUCT-approved rate regardless of which retail provider you choose.

3. What Types of Electricity Plans Does Constellation Offer?

• Condition-free fixed-rate plans (11, 12, and 24 months)
• Usage bill-credit plans
• Commercial & industrial custom electricity procurement

Renewable Energy Offerings: Offers both standard fixed-rate plans and 100% renewable options backed by national or Texas wind/solar Renewable Energy Certificates.

4. Billing Practices, Cancellation Fees, and Conditions to Check

• Billing & Payment Policies: Provides online billing, autopay, paperless statements, and combined home-services bundles in select metro areas.
• Early Termination Fee (ETF) Policy: Typically charges a flat $150 early termination fee across residential fixed-rate terms (verified on each plan’s EFL), waived for verified move-outs.

5. What Constellation’s Ownership Means for Customers (Before You Enroll)

Constellation Energy Corporation is the largest producer of carbon-free energy in the United States. In the Power Hopper feed, Constellation explicitly labels its flat fixed-rate plans (e.g., '12 Month (No Min Usage Fee)') separately from bill-credit plans, making it easy to pick a predictable per-kWh rate with a modest $150 early termination fee.

Pre-Enrollment Checklist for Any Constellation Plan:

1. Open the plan’s official Electricity Facts Label (EFL) and compare the 500 kWh, 1,000 kWh, and 2,000 kWh average price rows. If the 1,000 kWh price is 4¢–6¢ lower than the 500 kWh and 2,000 kWh rows, the plan uses a usage-threshold bill credit that can increase bills in mild or peak months.
2. Confirm whether the advertised energy charge requires continuous enrollment in AutoPay and paperless billing.
3. Check whether the early cancellation fee is a flat dollar amount (e.g., $150) or per remaining month (e.g., $15–$20 × months left), and use our Switching Break-Even Calculator if you are leaving an existing contract.
4. Mark your contract expiration date on your calendar so your account does not roll onto a high month-to-month holdover rate when the fixed term ends.
