ERCOT market
How electricity choice works in ERCOT
Most of Texas is served by the ERCOT grid. You choose a licensed retail electric provider (REP) for the electricity itself, while a Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) owns the wires, reads the meter, and restores outages. Compare plans to start service at a new address, transfer when you move, or switch providers without changing how power reaches your home.
ImportantYour TDSP does not sell the electricity plan — they deliver it. Shopping only changes your retail provider and the supply rate on your bill.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is ERCOT?
ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) operates the electric grid for most of the state. In ERCOT areas, customers choose a retail electric provider while a TDSP delivers power.
Who is my electric delivery company?
Depending on your address it may be Oncor (DFW / north & west Texas), CenterPoint (Houston area), AEP Texas Central or North, TNMP, or Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L). Enter your ZIP or call us to confirm.
Does LP&L still sell electricity?
No. As of January 2024, Lubbock Power & Light completed its transition to the competitive market. LP&L operates as a distributor only — you choose a retail provider for the electricity plan.
Who do I call for a power outage?
Call your TDSP (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, TNMP, or LP&L). They own the lines and restore outages. Your retail provider handles billing and the energy plan.
Can I choose my electricity provider in Austin or San Antonio?
Not in most cases. Austin Energy and CPS Energy (San Antonio) are municipally owned utilities that serve their customers directly, so retail choice generally does not apply there. Most of the rest of the ERCOT market — including Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Corpus Christi and Lubbock — offers competitive retail choice.
Can you help me start service in a new apartment or house?
Yes. We help first-time renters, homeowners, and anyone transferring service when moving — free, with no obligation.
