Location: Texas

In 1999, Texas passed Senate Bill 7 which effectively broke apart most of the state’s public utilities. Except for a few cities like Austin and San Antonio, nearly all of Texas has energy deregulation. The state enforced a price floor on utilities until 2007 to allow competitive electricity providers into the market. Currently, about 40% of the residents in Texas that live in a deregulated area have switched to a retail electricity provider. Below you can find more information on the Texas energy market.
