First Choice Power Transitions All Customers to Other NRG Brands

  • Written By: Shannon Bedrich

  • First Choice Power was once a brand name synonymous with community, low rates and excellent service. Founded in 2000 as the retail electricity division of Texas-New Mexico Power, they were sold to Direct Energy in 2011, and subsequently sold to NRG in 2021.

    Shortly after that, NRG transitioned First Choice Power’s customers to one of it’s other brands. And the First Choice brand was retired. You can no longer sign up for service from First Choice Power, but there are options available!
