Texas electricity leads the way for electric deregulation. This is a way customers can have a choice in the power provider they choose. This means they do not have to choose one company or choose no power at all. In parts of Texas people will have the choice of electric companies to serve their home and business.

You might find better plans that will suit your needs compared to the company you have already. But if you are satisfied with your current provider you might not want to change. But it is good to know you have the option.
With some companies you can lock in a price that might be better than what you pay right now. So this could be one advantage. You may want to keep in touch with the provider because they will be offering regular special offers.
Your provider who you have used for years probably does not run deals. So it might be a good idea to change if you can save money. But if you have a plan now that has a contract cancellation fee you have to take into account if the savings will be worth the penalty.
The bottom line is that having a choice of companies to work with always is good for the consumer. This competition will lead to better service and better pricing for the user.
Until now the power providers have operated in a monopoly charging as much as the government lets them charge. And believe this they never charge a penny less than what the government allows.
Deregulation of the power industry is the first step towards the consumer paying less for their energy. You can support this deregulation by contacting your local representative and voicing your opinion.
