Power to Choose (PTC) is the official Electric Choice Website of the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT). In our judgment, it is the best tool available online to learn about electric competition in Texas and to shop for retail electricity providers (REPs). Beware of other biased websites that may simply act as referral agents and portals for selected REPs while earning commissions.
The current version of the PTC site is vastly improved and more user friendly. ‘Apples to Apples’ price comparisons of the multiple rate plan products and terms offered by the various REPs are afforded and guaranteed providing complete analysis is made of details contained in EFLs (Facts Labels).

Sorting of the offers is no longer presented in random order. They are now sorted in ascending order with lowest cost plan listed first. In addition, everyone is urged to utilize the filter capabilities provided in the Search Criteria panel on the left of the webpage to facilitate their study.
The offer information shown is provided by the REPs in real time. Each has direct electronic access to the database for making immediate changes at will as dictated by market fluctuations and their marketing strategies. The offers are subject to change at any time.
While the PUC does not warranty that the information is a complete list of all offers in the marketplace, REPs are required to honor prices listed as a condition of posting their offers on this site. Also understand, not all licensed REPS advertise on PTC.
