Business Energy Broker | Control Electricity & Gas Costs
We offer Texas energy broker services to help companies control their electricity and gas costs. Most important, we understand that partnership, transparency, and commitment ensures a long-term successful business relationship.
Texas began to deregulate its electricity and gas market in 1995 for wholesale generation. Later in 1995 was the passage of Senate Bill 7 requiring the opening of the retail market in 2002.
Before 1975, Texas cities regulated electric utility services and rates. Afterward the Public Utility Regulator Act (PURA) introduced state regulation of electricity usage and rates.
Historically the Texas electricity utilities were vertically integrated from generation, transmission, distribution to customer service. Since these were regional monopolies regulated by the state, there was no power of choice of energy providers.
Like other states, energy deregulation resulted in restructuring the Texas utilities. Additionally new energy providers entered setting their prices differently, depending on their relation to competition.
Presently the majority of Texas energy companies give customers the option to select an alternative Retail Energy Provider (REP). For example there are more than 175 REPs (5 in 2002) competing for customers.
REPs are certified by the Public Utility Commission (PUC) and are subject to consumer-protection rules. However, the REPs are not traditionally regulated.
While the energy (utility) companies are still responsible for distributing the power, the business or consumer is in direct contact with an Retail Energy Proovider. That is the REP is responsible for power outages and service interruptions.
A Texas energy broker is responsible for working with alternative Retail Energy Providers and their business customers. Additionally, the Texas energy broker can intercede for the business with the REP when necessary.
