How has deregulation impacted Mission?

Check out the most recent statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration:

• 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 is in the top five each month for generation of electricity from solar energy.

It all started in 2002, when Texas deregulated its energy market. Deregulation gives the majority of the Lone Star State the power to choose energy suppliers from a pool of companies. The idea: Competition would cause energy providers to lower prices and, in turn, drive down energy costs for consumers.
