Texas is one of many states that benefit from energy deregulation. Deregulation means you have the freedom to choose your retail electricity provider (REP). As a result, roughly 85% of Texas consumers can shop in a competitive market and choose who provides electricity service to their home.

The REP is the company that will bill you each month which will include charges for the both the REP and the TDU in one bill.
