Power to choose – Texas Electric Choice
In 2002, Senate bill 7 for the Texas energy market launched and gave most Texans the right to shop and switch electric companies. Today about 85% of Texans have the power to choose their electric rate and provider. The Power to choose website is owned and operated by the Texas Public Utility Commission (PUCT http://www.puc.state.tx.us/), which regulates the state’s electric and telecommunication utilities, implements respective legislation, and offers customer assistance in resolving consumer complaints.
The Power to choose website lists rates and plans from all competing electric companies in Texas. Since it is open to all competing energy companies, the list and navigation is quite cumbersome and does not insure consumers are picking from financially stable and reputable electric companies.
Much different from the Power to choose, SaveOnEnergy.com pre-screens and pre-qualifies energy companies in Texas based on strict criteria. When shopping and selecting an energy company at SaveOnEnergy.com you can rest assured you are only seeing offers from the top rated companies that have been hand selected based on financial stability, proven management and market expertise, proven billing practices and customer service, and competitive rates and innovative products.
