• About Texas Utility Deregulation

  In the past there was only one Utility Company and the Company determined what price consumers should pay. In June 2001, the electric power industry in Texas underwent a significant restructuring. In order to break up the monopoly, Lawmakers pass laws to allow Retail Electrical Providers (REP) to provide utilities and allow consumers to choose their retail electrical providers. What does this mean for consumers? It means you have the right to choose your electrical provider and at the same time receive a substantial savings on your utility bill. Choosing your electrical provider is like choosing your own telephone or cell phone provider. You have a choice to choose from At&T®, T-Mobile®, Verizon®, Sprint®, Crickett®, etc. Now you have the same choice with Electricity. 


• How does it work?

The State of Texas established the Electrical Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). They not only became the power and transmission service clearinghouse but also the master dispatch authority for every kilowatt-hour produced and sold within the ERCOT territory. As the independent operator of the State Power Grid they allowed energy delivery companies and Retail Electrical Providers (REP) to link to the Grid and thus promote competition. With new sources to choose from, you now have options. You have the power to switch from your current utility provider and save money.

 

• Will I have any problems if I switch?

Your electrical power will still come the exact same way, over the exact same power lines as below. Your lights will not flicker or you will never have a power outage unless a storm hits the lines or a transformer blows out. If any problem arises, you will use the same electrical service company (CenterPoint) you used before. 

• What is the Catch? Does your provider charge a fee to switch from my current electrical provider to yours?

There are no catch and our providers do not charge you to switch.  You can save money right away and you can protect the price you pay for electricity by fixing your rate. You can lock in the rate for up to 48 months on Commercial and 36 months on Residential. If you experience the yo-yo effects of your bill being high several months and then low, the rate lock plan is for you. If you require flexible payment options, we can do that. If this is your first time obtaining electricity that is ok. Our providers may or may not ask you to put up a deposit. It will be dependent on your credit. You will have a simple and easy to understand bill, no hidden charges or penalties and better yet exceptional customer service. Any questions that you may have, you will be able to speak with a live person regarding your service or bill.
