The “Power to Choose” in Texas refers to the freedom Texans have to select their electricity provider in a deregulated market. This unique opportunity allows residents to compare and choose from a wide range of retail electricity providers, plans, and rates. The competitive environment fosters better pricing and enhances customer satisfaction. To facilitate this process, the Public Utility Commission of Texas operates powertochoose.org, a platform that empowers Texans to exercise their power to choose their electricity provider. It’s important to note that not all providers in the state are listed on this site.
Since the implementation of Senate Bill 7 on January 1, 2002, Texans have enjoyed the “power to choose” their electricity company. At Texas Light Service™, our mission is to simplify the exercise of this power and provide easy access to deregulated energy for Texans like you. Our electric choice comparison site enables you to effortlessly view multiple affordable Texas electricity rates and plans without the hassle of searching through numerous websites. Maximize your power to choose by comparing cheap Texas electricity rates in your service area. Explore electricity plans based on rate, contract length, electric provider, renewable energy options such as wind and solar, prepaid electricity, and more—all conveniently sorted by zip code. It’s worth mentioning that all Texas residents and businesses in deregulated markets possess the power to choose.

Power To Choose - Electricity Rate Guide
Power To Choose Electric rates are for comparison purposes only and are subject to change without notice and are only final when a service agreement has been completed with your chosen electricity provider. Not all of the cities in our service areas have electric choice and our pricing is based on each area rates.
The average price per kWh is displayed for each of our retail electric providers and is based on 1,000 kWh or 2,000 kWh per month usage. It is inclusive of fixed and variable local charges. The price disclosed for each retail electric provider is an example based on average usage patterns. Your actual average price for electric service will vary according to your actual electricity usage.
All Texas Electric Service, “Power to Choose” rates are gathered from the “Electricity Facts Label” of each retail electric provider. Please note that electricity service offers can be fixed or variable and that a variable rate may change throughout your contract. A fixed-rate, however, is guaranteed for the term of a contract. This site is in no way associated with PowerToChoose.org which is operated by the PUC of The State Of Texas and has a limited and different choice of companies, rates and plans.
