Texas customers usually receive electricity delivery from a local utility and may be able to choose a competitive supplier for the supply portion of the bill. Comparing plans requires more than checking one advertised rate. Review the term, rate structure, monthly charge, cancellation provisions, renewable content, utility territory and the usage assumptions used to calculate the price.
UtilityProvide organizes manually maintained plan information and public provider details into a consistent comparison format. The utility still owns the delivery network, reads the meter and responds to outages. The selected supplier is responsible for the generation or supply charge shown on the bill.
| Utility | Residential reference rate | Small-business reference rate |
|---|---|---|
| Oncor | 12.4¢/kWh | 13.1¢/kWh |
| CenterPoint Energy | 13.3¢/kWh | 13.9¢/kWh |
| AEP Texas | 14.2¢/kWh | 14.7¢/kWh |
| TNMP | 15.1¢/kWh | 15.5¢/kWh |

Texas energy-market background
Texas energy customers may encounter both regulated utility functions and competitive supplier offers. Market rules, utility territories and default-service procurement determine how offers are displayed and when supplier changes take effect.
Deregulation and customer choice
Energy-choice programs separate utility delivery responsibilities from competitive supply. Customers should read the full contract summary and verify that the supplier is authorized to serve the relevant utility territory.
