Power to choose means a company can pick their own electric provider. When deregulation started in Bell County Texas the legislature lowered prices by 6%. Right after that the cost of electricity from natural gas tripled. Many electric users attributed the higher electric costs to a failed deregulation process. This is not the case. The rise in prices has No relation to deregulation at all. Deregulation is still about comparing and choosing a low electric rate by having many choices.

The same electric distribution company still provides the electricity through the poles and wires but this is a different company then your retail electric provider. This means that nothing changes besides your bill. The electric discounts available via choosing a competitive electric provider is great although electric conservation can save a company even more. There are many new and advanced technologies for business customers to help give a company the best value for their dollar. To look into more then just a different electric provider please contact an electric power consultant to see what options are available to conserve and efficiently use commercial and industrial energy.
