In Texas’s deregulated electricity market, a Retail Electric Provider (REP) is the company that sells electricity plans to customers and handles billing and customer service. REPs purchase electricity on the wholesale market and compete to offer competitive rates and contract terms to residential and business customers across the state.
Examples of REPs serving Texas include TXU Energy, Reliant, and Direct Energy. Customers in Dallas and Houston can choose from dozens of REPs, comparing rates, contract lengths, and renewable energy options. Even though the local utility (TDU) maintains the wires and poles, the REP you choose determines your electricity price and plan features.
