The Lone Star State has had a deregulated energy market since 2002. Now households and businesses in Texas have the power to choose their energy provider. Today, many Texans take advantage of the ability to shop around for the best energy rates and plan features. Electricity deregulation means you can choose the best energy plans available in your area or search for appealing features, such as using green energy. By contrast, you are not able to choose your utility company, which is responsible for delivering power to your home or business.
In Texas, the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) oversees the electric utilities and resolves consumer disputes. Contact the Commission at 888-782-8477 if you need assistance.
In deregulated markets, the energy provider is the company that sells (and occasionally generates) electricity to consumers, as well as handling any account details. However, Texas utility companies, such as Oncor, play a different role than electricity providers, and consumers cannot choose their utility company.
Your electricity provider is determined based on the location of your home or business. Utility companies such as Oncor, CenterPoint, and AEP Texas deliver power to their consumers. They are also responsible for maintaining electric infrastructure, so contact Oncor (or your local utility) if you have a power outage or blackout, not your energy provider.
There are numerous power companies in the Oncor service area. Finding the best energy provider and lower rates is an excellent way to reduce your monthly electricity bills. Some of the best suppliers include Gexa Energy, TXU Energy, 4Change Energy, Express Energy, Frontier Utilities, and more.
The Choose Energy marketplace makes it easy to research your electricity plan options in your area, free of charge. You can also view monthly bill estimates for your home or business and learn about no-deposit electricity and green energy plans powered by renewables like solar power. You can also filter by provider, plan type, term length, and other options and learn about business energy plans.
Oncor electric rates can vary by location, even within its electric service area. This is mainly due to different Oncor electric delivery rates for distributing power to various areas.

If you’re in Oncor’s service area and there is a power outage, contact Oncor, not your electricity provider.
