FINDING THE BEST ELECTRICITY RATES IN TEXAS

With a population of over 28 million and growing, Texas is the second-largest state in the United States and boasts a rich history, diverse culture, and robust infrastructure. Texas offers many attractions and economic opportunities, capturing the essence of the American frontier spirit.

In order to power the homes and businesses within it, Texas produces more electricity than any other state, using roughly 400 billion kilowatt-hours worth of electricity. Texas is unique in that it is on its own power grid independent from the rest of the U.S. and much of the state’s electricity market is deregulated, allowing residents to select their electricity provider from one of the numerous service companies.

Texas is known for its size, grandeur and incredible growth rate of new residents making the state their home. Its expansive landscapes encompass deserts, forests, prairies and coastal plains. It is home to various exciting attractions, historic locations, and destinations, like the Alamo, San Antonio Riverwalk, NASA’s Johnson Space Center, and Big Bend National Park. With demand stemming from residents and tourists alike, providing power to Texas is an important duty to be entrusted only to a dependable electricity resource that can prioritize affordability while maintaining top-tier customer service.
