Watt Alpha Risk Grade
How Hudson Energy Grades on Risk
B+
Refreshed weekly
Counterparty / financial stability
72 / 100
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.
Price-structure transparency
74 / 100
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.
PUCT complaint record
86 / 100
Curated complaint index per 1,000 customers from PUCT-published statistics; a commercial-weighted book keeps the index comparatively low.
Contract flexibility
66 / 100
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.
Representative Pricing
One Honest Number, Not a Plan Grid
An advertised electricity rate is not what you pay. Your effective rate depends on your usage level and timing, the plan’s structure, TDU delivery charges, and market conditions over the term. That is why this page shows at most one representative, weekly-refreshed figure — and hides it entirely rather than show a number we can’t verify as current.
The number that actually matters is your simulated bill under this provider’s current structures — which is what a Watt Alpha positioning run computes.
Beyond the Rate
How Watt Alpha Evaluates 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.
Who It Fits
Where Hudson Energy Can Be the Right Answer
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.

FAQ
Hudson Energy FAQ
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 — PUCT complaint statistics, corporate structure, and the products Hudson publicly offers — run through the same documented four-part rubric applied to every profiled REP. Compensation never influences a grade, and Watt Alpha may not transact every REP shown.
Watt Alpha LLC is a registered Texas electricity broker (PUCT broker registration BR260144). Watt Alpha may be compensated through supplier-paid commissions or agreed advisory fees depending on the customer and engagement; compensation never changes the grade a provider receives.
Provider grades and profiles use public data and Watt Alpha's own methodology. Watt Alpha may not transact every REP shown, and a profile is not an endorsement by the provider. Representative figures are refreshed on a weekly schedule and hidden whenever they cannot be verified as current.
