Why does Direct Energy charge different electricity rates depending on where I live?

That's a good question - you might think the rates should be the same everywhere, after all, it's just electricity, right?

Texas electricity rates are subject to change throughout the calendar year. Energy rates in Texas can change depending on many factors, including the demand for energy and wholesale energy prices. Wholesale Texas electricity prices are driven by factors such as weather, forecasted vs actual demand, and commodity prices such as natural gas (The predominant electricity generation fuel) Keep in mind that as Solar and Wind energy generation grow, energy forecasting will get more complicated as clouds and wind paterns will effect Texas electricity rates in real time.
