Rio Bravo's deregulated electricity market

When Texas deregulated its electricity market in 2002, the state transformed its energy landscape by splitting the traditional utility model into three distinct segments: generation, transmission, and retail.

• Power Generation Companies create electricity and sell it wholesale.
• Transmission and Distribution Utilities maintain the power lines and infrastructure.
• Retail Electric Providers (REPs) purchase electricity and sell it to you.

Texas residents can choose from over 170 REPs in competitive areas, which serve about 85% of Texas power consumers. The Public Utility Commission of Texas operates the Power to Choose website, which displays plans and providers in each zip code.

While you select your provider, your local utility company still handles power line maintenance and outages, ensuring reliable delivery to your home.
