Tesla and Sunrun Introduce Fixed-Rate Energy Plan for Clean Energy in Texas

Texan homeowners now have a new, compelling energy solution at their fingertips, thanks to the collaboration between Tesla and Sunrun. The Tesla Electric + Sunrun Flex plan offers a seamless combination of solar energy, battery storage, and fixed electricity rates, providing a clean, reliable, and cost-effective energy solution unlike any other in Texas.

The plan is designed exclusively for Texas residents in retail choice areas who install Sunrun's Flex system, which can scale over time according to the homeowner's changing energy needs without requiring hardware upgrades.

Key Features of the Tesla Electric + Sunrun Flex Plan

Fixed electricity rates: Customers pay a predictable, affordable fixed rate for the electricity they import from the grid, protecting them from the volatility common in Texas's electricity market.
Solar energy with storage: The Sunrun Flex system provides rooftop solar plus Tesla Powerwall battery storage, allowing homeowners to generate, store, and manage clean energy efficiently.
Backup power during outages: The Tesla Powerwall offers seamless backup power, enhancing resilience against grid outages, a critical benefit for Texans given past grid instability.
Sellback credits: Customers earn competitive sellback credits for excess solar energy they export back to the grid, maximizing financial return.
Flexible energy usage: The plan supports scaling energy consumption up or down as life changes, without the need for hardware upgrades.
Maintenance and guarantees: Sunrun Flex customers receive system monitoring, maintenance, repairs, and performance guarantees included.
Virtual Power Plant (VPP) participation: Customers may join Tesla’s VPP, where excess stored solar energy in Powerwalls is aggregated to help stabilise the grid during peak demand.
Separate billing: Customers receive two bills—one from Sunrun for solar system installation and maintenance, and another from Tesla Electric for electricity usage.

Benefits for Texan Homeowners

Cost savings and predictability: Fixed rates shield customers from Texas electricity market volatility; sellback revenue further lowers net costs.
Energy resilience: Seamless backup power from Powerwall reduces outage impacts.
Simplified energy management: Integrated solar, storage, and retail electricity in one plan reduces complexity and confusion of choosing among 100+ providers and varying rate structures in Texas.
Energy independence: The combination of solar self-generation, storage, and grid sellback enhances homeowner control over energy use and cost.

Overall, the Tesla Electric + Sunrun Flex plan offers Texan homeowners a first-of-its-kind, clean, reliable, and cost-effective energy solution tailored to solar plus storage systems, providing peace of mind through fixed pricing, backup power, and optimal use of home-generated solar energy.
