Texas has the largest deregulated electric market in the U.S. Since 2002, all residents of Texas have been able to purchase electricity through a retail electricity provider (REP) instead of from utilities directly. Customers served by CenterPoint have the power to choose your REP.
The REP you choose will work with the area’s utility company to deliver energy. If you don’t choose an electric utility plan, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) will assign one. For customers in the CenterPoint Energy service area, your default provider will be Reliant Energy.
