| Submission declined on 6 March 2025 by Justlettersandnumbers (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Energy Ogre is a Houston-based electricity management company that aims to help consumers navigate Texas' deregulated electricity market. The company analyzes individual electricity usage patterns and available plans to recommend and manage electricity contracts on behalf of its members.[1][2]
History
[edit]Energy Ogre was founded in 2013 to simplify electricity contract management for Texas consumers following the state's electricity market deregulation in 2002. As of 2025, the company reports managing electricity plans for over 397,000 homes since its founding.[3]
Service Details
[edit]Energy Ogre operates on a subscription model. Its key offerings include:
- Usage Analysis: Reviewing historical electricity consumption.
- Plan Comparison: Comparing available plans.
- Enrollment Management: Handling enrollment and contract renewals.
- Market Monitoring: Tracking rate changes and recommending new plans.
The company states that it operates independently and does not receive commissions or incentives from retail electricity providers.[4][5]
Media
[edit]The company's role has been covered by several Texas media outlets:
- FOX 26 Houston has featured the company in reports on rising electricity costs and strategies to reduce bills.[6]
- KHOU reported on Energy Ogre’s approach to assisting consumers manage electricity costs.[7]
- KPRC has discussed Energy Ogre in several articles, including how the company locates electricity plans and attempts to assist consumers in managing their energy bills.[8]
However, some consumer advocates suggest that similar savings can be achieved through independent research.[9]
