Residents and business owners in Texas have the power to choose their electricity providers, thanks to the state’s deregulated energy market. Texas electricity companies in deregulated markets work hard to earn your business by offering affordable energy rates.
If you’re new to deregulation, the Choose Texas Power marketplace can help you understand your options. Enter your ZIP code, use our filtering tools to narrow down your choices, and we’ll help you find the most affordable rates from the best Texas electric companies.
We also have resources to help you learn more about the differences between energy providers and utilities, how to reduce your energy bill, how to choose your new electricity provider, and more.
