Can you choose your electricity provider in Texas?

Yes, in Texas, you have the freedom to choose your electricity provider. Texas residents benefit from a deregulated electricity market that gives them the power to select their energy provider. Through Texas electricity choice, consumers can shop around and compare different Retail Electric Providers (REPs) to find the best rates, plans, and customer service options for their needs. This competitive marketplace typically results in lower prices and improved service quality as providers compete for customers. Keep in mind that deregulation doesn't apply statewide – certain areas of Texas still operate under traditional utility monopolies, meaning some residents may only have one provider available in their location.
