Deregulated Cities In Texas

The deregulated energy market in Texas can be confusing. After all, we’re the only state in the lower 48 with just such a market. Here’s a quick overview of how we got here with a helpful list of cities that are currently deregulated in Texas.

• In 1995, Texas finally organized itself to attempt deregulation
• 1999 saw the creation of REPs, which had their power increased in 2002 by ERCOT

Deregulation, because of its very nature as a legal mechanism, is a complex subject. We think everyone deserves to understand this market, so we’ve created a free, downloadable guide that explains everything in plain English. Check it out!
