Energy deregulation is a significant shift that occurred in the Texas energy market. To put it simply, since 2002, the state government has allowed competition among various retail electricity providers (REPs) to offer electricity plans to consumers like yourself. This move aimed to enhance consumer choice, promote competitive pricing, and encourage innovation in the energy sector.
Before deregulation, a single utility company controlled both the generation and distribution of electricity in a given area. Consumers had no say in selecting their energy provider and were bound to use the services of the local utility. However, with the advent of deregulation, the energy market in Texas underwent a transformational change.
Today, as a result of energy deregulation, you have the power to choose your electricity provider based on your preferences, budget, and sustainability goals. This freedom empowers you to explore a wide range of electricity plans and find the one that best aligns with your needs.
