How has deregulation affected Keller?

The latest statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration show:

• Texas residential electricity rates are nearly 11.4 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas commercial electricity rates are nearly 28.33 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas industrial electricity rates are nearly 26 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas generates the most electricity of any state from wind.
• Texas generates the fifth-highest amount of electricity from solar energy.

The Texas energy market became deregulated in 2002, when the state legislature passed a bill to break up the monopoly held by utility companies. While some areas are still regulated, a majority are not, allowing many retail electric providers to start competing for consumers’ business.

Energy deregulation didn’t get rid of Keller utilities, but changed how they operate. As part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, Keller gets its utility service from Oncor Electric Delivery. Oncor manages the infrastructure and delivers the energy consumers pay for, but consumers buy the energy from a retail provider. It should be noted that you still call Oncor if you experience a power outage, not your provider.
