Can you choose your electricity provider? Check your ZIP.
Most Texans can choose their electricity provider, but not all. Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, the Panhandle, and co-op areas each have one utility, so there's nothing to shop. Everywhere else, providers compete on price, and the right plan at your usage can lower your bill. Type your ZIP code for an instant answer, and current plans for your area appear below, math shown.
Answers as you type. Nothing to sign up for.

Our story
Why does this site exist?
It started at a kitchen table in Frisco, with an electric bill that made no sense. A "discount" that only worked at exactly the right usage. Fine print that works because nobody reads it.
So a daughter with a business plan and a dad with a broker license built this site around one rule: show the math. Every ranking checks out on a calculator. Every recommendation tells you first how we're paid. Full story on ourAbout page.

Inourhouse,yougivefirst.
Not what's left over. The first ten cents of every commission dollar goes to The Storehouse of Collin County before anything else is paid, including ourselves. It's written into this business's books.
The Storehouse is a food pantry near the kitchen table where this company started. By their own count they serve more than 1,200 families a week. It costs you nothing: providers pay us, and we give the first tenth away.

Why can some Texans choose and others can't?
Texas opened most of its electricity market to competition in 2002. Most, not all. City utilities like Austin Energy and San Antonio's CPS Energy kept their customers. El Paso and the Panhandle run separate grids with one regulated utility each; most co-ops stayed single-provider. The official state source ispowertochoose.org, from the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
Common questions
Why can some Texans choose their electricity provider and others can’t?
Texas opened most of its electricity market to competition in 2002, but cities with their own utility, like Austin (Austin Energy) and San Antonio (CPS Energy), kept a single provider. El Paso and the Panhandle sit on different power grids with one regulated utility. Electric co-ops also usually keep a single provider. Your ZIP code tells you which situation you’re in.
What does "deregulated" actually mean for my bill?
It means two companies play a role: the utility that owns the poles and wires (you can’t choose them), and the provider that sells you the electricity (you can). Providers compete on price, so the same house can pay noticeably different amounts depending on the plan. Comparing is how you find out which side of that difference you’re on.
What if my ZIP code isn’t in a deregulated area?
You can’t switch providers, but your bill isn’t hopeless. Usage is the half of the bill you control: thermostat schedules, water-heater settings, and your utility’s own time-of-day or budget-billing programs can lower it. We’re honest about this: no tool can shop a market that doesn’t exist.
Is Texas Power Search free? How do you make money?
Free for you, always. If you enroll in a plan through our links, the provider pays us a commission. That’s disclosed before every recommendation, and it never changes our rankings, which are based on what a plan costs at your usage. And 10% of every commission dollar, counted off the top, goes to The Storehouse of Collin County.
Why do Texas electricity rates keep rising?
Demand on the Texas grid is growing fast. ERCOT, the grid operator, projects major increases over the next decade, driven largely by data centers moving into the state. More demand puts upward pressure on rates. You can’t control the grid, but you can control plan fit: re-checking your plan at your actual usage every year matters more as the market tightens.
Where does your plan data come from?
Our plan data comes from Compare Power, a Texas electricity marketplace, and we refresh it regularly: currently 600 plans across all five deregulated utility territories, last pulled 2026-07-27. Every plan links to its official Electricity Facts Label so you can verify the numbers yourself.
