Power To Choose
Power To Choose
Purpose:
The Public Utility Commission of Texas regulates the state's electric and telecommunication utilities, implements respective legislation, and offers customer assistance in resolving consumer complaints. Their mission is to protect customers, foster competition, and promote high quality infrastructure. As part of that mission, they have created the "Power to Choose" website as a tool to assist Texans in shopping for electricity.
Description:
Power to Choose is the official and unbiased electric choice website of the Public Utility Commission of Texas. This website is available to all electric providers to list their offers for free. Consumers can compare offers and choose the electric plan that’s right for them. The process is simple and easy to use - requiring just a zip code to see available plans for an area. An option to answer three additional questions on average electricity usage per month, desired types of plans (fixed, variable, or indexed), and desired contract length can help narrow down the list of options. The website also provides educational FAQs to help answer common questions on topics like deregulation, billing, electric customer rights, changing providers and more. The website is available in both English and Spanish.
