An advertised rate is not what you pay. Your cost depends on how much power you use, the plan’s pricing rules, and your utility’s delivery charges. We show at most one representative figure here, and we hide it when we cannot confirm it is current.
What we watch closely
How We Look at Hudson Energy
Hudson's product shelf is broader than most Texas commercial REPs: alongside plain fixed supply it offers index products and custom structures that pass through or share market risk. That breadth is genuinely useful for sophisticated buyers and genuinely dangerous for buyers who sign an index product believing it behaves like a fixed one. Watt Alpha's evaluation of any Hudson offer starts by classifying exactly which risks stay with the customer.
The Just Energy parentage cuts both ways and we score it plainly: group scale and a long operating history support the counterparty sub-score, while the group's 2021-era restructuring after Winter Storm Uri is a reminder that retail energy balance sheets are stress-tested by exactly the events customers most need them to survive. Post-restructuring, the group continues to operate at scale.
This is an editorial profile: Hudson is graded with the same public-data rubric as every provider Watt Alpha covers, and Watt Alpha does not currently transact Hudson supply. The grade exists so commercial buyers evaluating a Hudson offer can see our honest read of the counterparty and the structures before they sign anything.
Provider grade
How Hudson Energy Is Graded
We grade providers on financial strength, pricing transparency, complaint history, and contract flexibility. A grade describes the company, not any single plan.
Financial strength
Part of the Just Energy group: meaningful scale and history, weighed against the group's post-Uri restructuring. A solid but not top-tier counterparty score.
Pricing transparency
Fixed products are conventional; index and custom structures shift the transparency burden to the contract itself. We score the shelf as offered, which lands Hudson upper-middle.
Complaint history
Curated complaint index per 1,000 customers from PUCT-published statistics; a commercial-weighted book keeps the index comparatively low.
Contract flexibility
One of the widest structure-and-term shelves in the profile set (roughly 12–60 months, fixed through custom), though custom structures can embed exit constraints that offset the flexibility on paper.
Who it may fit
Where Hudson Energy Can Make Sense
Sophisticated C&I buyers
Businesses with real load-shape knowledge can use Hudson's index and custom structures to keep only the risks they are actually paid to hold.
Multi-site commercial operators
A supplier accustomed to multi-meter portfolios and custom contracting reduces the operational friction of consolidating sites under one structure.

Frequently asked questions
Who owns Hudson Energy?
Hudson Energy operates within the Just Energy family of companies, a North American retail energy group. Hudson is its commercial-and-industrial-focused brand in Texas and other deregulated markets.
Is Hudson Energy a Watt Alpha partner?
No. This is an editorial profile: Hudson is graded with the same public-data methodology as every provider Watt Alpha covers, but Watt Alpha does not currently transact Hudson supply. If that changes, this page will say so explicitly.
What is the difference between Hudson's fixed and index products?
A fixed product locks the energy price for the term; an index product floats with market prices, which can save money in calm markets and cost sharply in volatile ones. Hudson also offers custom structures that blend the two. The right choice depends on your load shape and risk tolerance, not on which headline number is lower.
What happened to Just Energy in 2021?
Winter Storm Uri's extreme ERCOT prices in February 2021 pushed the Just Energy group into a court-supervised restructuring, from which it emerged under new ownership and continues to operate at scale. Watt Alpha's counterparty sub-score for Hudson reflects both the group's scale and that stress event.
Does Hudson Energy serve residential customers in Texas?
Hudson's Texas focus is commercial and industrial supply. Households looking for graded residential options should compare the residential providers profiled on Watt Alpha's electricity-providers hub.
How does Watt Alpha grade Hudson Energy without a partnership?
The grade uses only public data, such as PUCT complaint statistics, corporate structure, and the products Hudson publicly offers, run through the same four-part method applied to every profiled provider. Compensation never influences a grade.
Is Hudson Energy financially stable after Just Energy's restructuring?
Watt Alpha's counterparty sub-score for Hudson Energy runs through its parent: Hudson is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Just Energy Group, which emerged from its Uri-driven restructuring in December 2022 under new ownership led by PIMCO-managed funds and continues operating at scale. The grade weighs that group scale against the 2021 stress event, landing Hudson solid but not top-tier.
Does Hudson Energy offer custom pricing for mid-size businesses in Texas?
Watt Alpha grades Hudson Energy's product shelf as one of the widest in its Texas commercial coverage: alongside plain fixed-rate supply, Hudson structures custom and index-based contracts across roughly 12 to 60 month terms for business accounts. The evaluation that matters is which market risks a custom structure leaves with the customer, since that is where mid-size buyers most often misjudge the deal.
Can Hudson Energy supply a multi-site business in Texas?
Watt Alpha grades Hudson Energy as well suited to multi-site commercial operators: the supplier is accustomed to multi-meter portfolios and can consolidate locations across all five deregulated ERCOT delivery territories under one contract structure. Consolidation cuts operational friction, though a single structure across many sites concentrates the same contract risk, which is why the structure choice gets scrutinized first.
What should a business verify before signing with Hudson Energy?
Watt Alpha's editorial grade for Hudson Energy points diligence at three items: classify whether the offered product is fixed, index, or a custom blend; read the exit constraints custom structures can embed; and weigh the Just Energy group's post-restructuring counterparty picture. The grade itself is built from public data, including PUCT complaint statistics, under the same rubric applied to every profiled REP.
