What is a 'Deregulated Energy Market'? Can I choose my electricity provider?

Understanding a Deregulated Energy Market: In a deregulated energy market, the government does not assign you to a specific electricity provider. Instead, you get to choose your provider. This setup encourages competition among providers, leading to better rates and innovations in the energy industry.

Your Power to Choose: If you're in Texas, like over 85% of its residents, you're in luck! You have the freedom to shop around for electricity providers. This means you can compare rates and plans to find the best fit for your needs and budget.

Things to Consider in a Deregulated Market:

• Complexity: With so many options, it can be challenging to compare different plans and rates.
• Transparency Issues: Watch out for confusing or misleading terms in marketing materials.
• Consumer Protection: It's important to know your rights and protections in this kind of market.

We're Here to Help: Navigating a deregulated market can be tricky but don't worry. We're here to guide you through it. We'll help you compare rates and plans from all licensed electricity providers in Texas, ensuring you find a great deal while getting the power you need.

Do ratings matter for power providers?

The short answer: Not necessarily. In Texas, all power providers are licensed by the Texas Public Utility Commission. This means they all meet certain standards for quality, reliability, and maintenance. So, technically, every provider should offer a similar level of service.

But ratings can still be useful: We get that some customers feel more comfortable choosing a provider with good ratings. That's why we offer the Stress-Free plan. With this plan, we monitor your bills each month and if something's off, we'll reach out to the provider on your behalf. This ensures you receive top-notch service, regardless of the provider's ratings.

Our advice: While ratings can be helpful, they shouldn't be your only consideration. It's also important to compare rates and plans to find what works best for you. And remember, if any issues come up with your provider, we're on your side to assist.
