DID YOU KNOW......

Our monthly electricity bills now contain a statement reporting the average price price paid for electrical services for that month (excluding taxes) in the form of $0.000 kWh.  This new rule became effective last April.  All REPs must include, for standarization, the same cost elements in this quote.  Use of this average price is the best way to compare rates among the various retail providers.

ELECTRICITY FACTS LABEL (EFL)

Shopping for electricity is a new concept for Texans, and the Public Utility Commission of Texas has developed a way for customers to make an "apples-to-apples" comparison of offers from Competitive Retail Electric Providers.

The Electricity Facts Label, similar to a nutrition label found on many food products, provides information on electricity prices, contract terms, sources of generation, and emissions levels. This information will help you make an informed decision about your electric service.

Each Retail Electric Provider (REP) is required to provide you with a copy of their Electricity Facts Label upon request. The Electricity Facts Label encourages you to compare information, in a standardized format, so you can select a Retail Electric Provider based on what matters most to you.
