Energy choice in Texas
Texas deregulated the electricity market in most of the state over 20 years ago. Because of this, customers can choose from competing electric providers instead of relying on the utility to manage accounts and provide billing services.
Deregulation is designed to create a competitive market for energy providers in your area and allow you to take advantage of better pricing. The number of options can be overwhelming, but SaveOnEnergy can help you choose which provider is best for you.
If you’re moving to a deregulated city or simply want to change providers, you can find step-by-step information in our guide to switching electricity companies in Texas. You can also check out our energy buying guide for tips on getting the best deal for your electricity needs.
What’s the difference between an electricity provider and a utility company?
An energy provider sells electricity plans to customers and businesses in its service area. It also manages account details, like billing, meter readings, and energy usage stats. When you receive your energy bill, you’ll receive charges per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for your energy usage.
Meanwhile, a utility company — such as TNMP — delivers electricity to homes and businesses. It also responds to power outages and makes repairs to improve the infrastructure. You’ll notice utility transmission and delivery fees on your energy bill — which are charged by your local utility and depend on your location. That’s why you may have the same electric plan as your friend in the next town but pay different prices for service.
