Electric Power

When it comes to electricity supply, Texas has an advantage no other state can offer.  Texas boasts its own stand alone electric power grid to ensure a reliable, secure and uninterrupted supply of electricity.  In 1993, the Center for Advancement of Energy Markets ranked Texas the "number one" deregulated market in the United States.

The new era of deregulation in Texas offers new opportunities for competitive rates and services. Below is the link to information for residential and non-residential electrical power providers.
