"URBAN MYTHS" ABOUT RESIDENTIAL ELECTRICITY......

The City of Houston's website, "Houston Consumer Choice", urges Houstonians to become better informed electricity consumers.  It further states:

• "Informed consumers have saved hundreds of dollars on utility bills according to the Texas Public Utility Commission.
• You should also know your choice of power supplier does not affect the reliability; Center Point Energy is responsible for that. 
•  Consumers must take some responsibility for protecting themselves when the price rises too much.  Some people may prefer to buy the cheapest possible electricity. Others may choose a supplier offering "green power." It's your choice. And remember to conserve energy whenever you can".

That same website addresses quite well many myths associated with 'Right of Choice' all residential electricity customers have.  Learn more about these myths here.
