Map of Texas Deregulated Electricity Areas
If you live in a deregulated area of Texas, you must choose a Retail Electricity Provider (REP) to supply your electricity. Your local utility company (or TDU for transmission delivery utility) will read your meter, respond to any outages and deliver power to your home. There are 6 deregulated TDUs in Texas: Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP-Central, AEP-North, TNMP and LP&L.
This map of Texas deregulation by county gives you an overview. But Texas isn’t deregulated based on county or even based on zip code. You could be have the power to choose and your neighbor could have a regulated utility. Your Electricity Service Identifier (ESID) tells you whether your home is in a deregulated area. Enter your address below to see if you have electricity choice.

The Basics of Comparing Electricity Prices
Our full guide to compare electricity rates gives you all the details if you’re shopping for the first time. Here are the basics of how to shop for an electricity rate in Texas.
- Match Your Usage: Pick a plan that fits your actual energy use not just based on 500, 1000, or 2000 kWh/month. Use ElectricityPlans exclusive BillSmart™ Low Bill Finder to find the best plan based on your usage. All you need is a single bill.
- Avoid Gimmicks: Steer clear of plans with tricky pricing like tiered rates or bill credits. The BillSmart Plan Score measures bill predictability. A 5/5 is a basic fixed rate plan with no base charge, while bill credit plans score 1/5 for their complexity.
- Shop Smart: Compare electricity plans every time your contract expires, since providers often give their best rates to new customers.
- Read the Details: Don’t enroll based on the advertised price. Always check the Plan Details section, which includes an Electricity Facts Label explainer, plus BillSmart Calculator and CostCurve™ to see your estimated bill at every usage level.
