Deregulated energy means you have the power to choose the electricity provider and plan that fits your budget, usage, and energy goals. Choose Energy reviews top electric providers in Texas and other states to help residents and businesses in deregulated areas find the best energy provider. 

Choose Energy’s review methodology uses unbiased and quantitative criteria to ensure objective provider scores. We’ve broken our scoring model into three main categories:

Customer service

  • PUC complaint scores
  • Google reviews score
  • Satisfaction guarantee
  • Flexible service options
  • Years in business

Online accessibility

  • Online bill pay options
  • Access to usage trends and alerts
  • Pricing transparency

Plan options

  • Contract length options
  • Renewable energy plans
  • Serviceability

Using these criteria, we’ve reviewed some of the best energy providers. For details about current electricity rates and plan options in your area, visit the provider’s page or enter your ZIP code.
