Compare Deregulated Electricity rates and prices. Analyze Deregulated Electricity plans to get the cheapest Texas electricity rate
I’ve linked dozens of articles over the years from the always excellent Paul Ring, over at Energy Choice Matters. Earlier this week, he published another great article where he spoke with several executives at NRG Energy, the company that owns Reliant Energy, Green Mountain Energy, Pennywise Power, and Energy Plus. What was most interesting about […]
I always seem to get a lot of people who question the Texas deregulated electricity market and categorically dismiss it as inferior to regulated utilities. There is no shortage of people who say the entire system is graft, or some form of organized price gouging to take advantage of consumers. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve […]
Last week’s purchase of First Choice Power by Direct Energy was yet another major acquisition of a Retail Electricity Provider by a major energy conglomerate. There’s been around a half a dozen of these deals in the past year, and in my opinion things have gotten a bit muddled and confusing. So I wanted to […]
Good afternoon, everyone. I just wanted to post a quick update that I’ve revised the Texas Electricity Ratings ranking of providers this week. The new rankings and numbers are posted, although there wasn’t much change in the actual order of providers. Bounce Energy remained in the top spot, boosted by their great freshman performance in […]
I ran across a very interesting article that discusses some of the changes that are taking place with Austin Energy, which services one of the last major regulated cities in Texas (along with San Antonio). The article itself is a good read, but there’s also a lot of information that shines some light on a […]
I ran across an article on the Houston Chronicle’s Fuel Fix Blog this morning. Normally, this is a great blog with lots of interesting articles that I read on a very regular basis. Today’s entry, however, by Loren Steffy, is one of the more backwards and lazy efforts I’ve seen on the Texas deregulated electricity […]
So I recently saw an article that a group called Recharge Texas released through Business Wire discussing some truly wrongheaded ideas. Recharge Texas claims to be the state’s “premier website for energy consumers.” I wonder if just maybe that title was something they gave to themselves. Without further ado, let’s jump right in and examine […]
I’m sure that anyone who’s been keeping an even casual eye on the news cycles the past few weeks have seen a number of articles written about the new EPA changes and how they will effect our Texas electricity market. The act that has been pushed through the EPA by our current administration is called […]
In what looks to be the first major regulated area opening up since the initial deregulation in 2002(that I can remember, there may have been others), Sharyland Utilities is set to transition to a deregulated electricity market. Starting in January 2014, Sharyland Utilities and their 44,000 residential and commercial customers in 28 different counties of […]
I just wanted to drop a few tidbits of Texas electricity market that didn’t deserve their own blog post. So instead, I’m just going to group the tidbits below. PUC Chairman Resigns – Barry Smitherman, who has been a commissioner of the PUC since 2004 and the Chairmen of the PUC since 2007, resigned his […]
