Regulated Electric Market
This area is served by a regulated utility; retail electricity choice isn’t available here.
Your electricity rates, service terms, and billing are set by your utility and regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT).
About deregulation: Most of Texas has retail electric choice through deregulation. However, some areas like Sour Lake are served by municipal utilities or cooperatives that did not participate in deregulation. These regulated utilities handle both the generation/wholesale purchasing and retail service to customers.
