With electricity deregulated in Texas since 2002, Texans enjoy a wide selections of options for their electricity supply. Here you can find more information about the retail electric providers (REP) that serve Texas.
What is a Retail Electric Provider?
Retail electric providers (REP) sell electricity supply to Texas power consumers in the areas of the state that area open to retail consumption. Among other tasks, REPs are responsible for:
- Purchasing wholesale electricity on behalf of their customers
- Paying the charges associated with power transmission & delivery to the relevant utility
- Providing customer service, and billing the customer for the charges associated with their electric supply
What's the Difference Between a REP and a Utility?
Your local utility is responsible for delivering your power, and for operating and maintaining the electric transmission and distribution infrastructure (the power lines). You should contact them in the case of a power outage or electricity related emergency.
Your retail electric provider is your first point of contact for all other questions related to your electricity supply, including your electric rates, your bill, how to pay your bill. Check out our list below to find out more about the retail electric providers that provide service in Texas.
