Your Power to Choose Just Got Smarter
You have the power, the power to make smart choices.
Smart Energy Choices, isn’t that what in the end your power to choose should mean? In deregulated areas of Texas, you have the power to choose, and your power to choose can mean a lot of things. It can mean that you have the power to better evaluate the different choices that are available to you. It also means that by being able to evaluate these choices, you have the power to make smart energy decisions. You have the power to access and use your own energy data in order to recognize the different ways in which you can consume electricity wisely.
Smart Energy Choices is about getting the Lowest Total Cost
To select the best cost, you have to realize the difference between the advertised price per kWh and the real total cost. While the advertised price per kWh might seem low, some plans have fees and rate structures that change depending on the time or amount of electricity consumed. That means that the real cost, or the cost containing all of the components of each plan’s rate, may often turn out to be a lot higher than you the advertised price alone. To avoid surprises and unexpectedly high bills, use EnerWisely, and find the best cost based on your actual usage patterns.

How Do Electricity Bills Work?
At the end of the day, you create your electricity bills with your choices. Your bill is a direct reflection of how you consume energy and how much electricity you use. It is also a function of your electricity cost, transmission and distribution costs, and taxes. That function can look different depending on the plan you select and its rate structure. That’s why a tool like EnerWisely MatchMaker really provides Smart Power to Choose.

How Am I Charged for Electricity?
Multiple factors affect the charges for the electricity that you use.
Electricity Generation, Transmission & Distribution
Electricity moves from the point of generation to the point of ultimate consumption through aninterconnected network known as the electrical grid, which consists of three separate parts:
- Generation – the production of electricity by power plants
- Transmission – the movement of electricity from the point of origin to a distribution system
- Distribution – the delivery of electricity to customers’ homes or businesses by utility companies
Once, the electricity is generated it arrives at an initial transformer. A transformer converts alternating current from one voltage to another and can be designed to “step up” the voltage or “step down.” In preparation for transmission over long distances, the transformer steps up the voltage. Afterwards, transmission lines carry the high-voltage electricity before arriving at a neighborhood transformer, which steps down the voltage. Smaller distribution lines then carry the electricity to households, where transformers on the poles step down electricity once more before it is able to enter your home or business. Where, ultimately, Energy Powers You!
Regulated vs Deregulated Electricity Market
Today, most of TX is deregulated. However, there are still areas of Texas that remain regulated markets. In regulated electricity markets, customers cannot choose their provider and are bound to the utility in that area. They have no choice but to purchase electricity from regional utility monopolies that own and operate all three parts of electric service. Customers also have to purchase at prices regulated by the state and federal government.
What electricity deregulation does is allow consumers to choose their own electric company and encourage free market competition. In deregulated areas, prices can be determined and driven lower than in regulated areas because of the competition. In a deregulated place, a person’s electricity is still delivered to them through local power lines. What changes is the power to choose what source of power to use (renewable content), who they’re buying power from, how much they’re paying for it.
Electricity Market Deregulation and Choice
Deregulation in Texas opens the door to numerous, more flexible energy options thanks to competitive suppliers being able to offer a greater variety of customized solutions. In deregulated areas, every electricity consumer has the power to choose his or her desired providers and plans. It is important to now that once you make a choice, that choice is not permanent. You also have the power to switch electricity providers in order to find the services and rates that continue to best meet your needs and wants.
Smart Up Your Power to Choose: Compare Better & Save More
While a deregulated energy market comes with its perks, it also comes with its challenges. The sheer amount of competition amongst suppliers has made it much harder for people to comparison shop and identify options that satisfy both their cost and lifestyle preferences. With so many different types of electricity plans, rates, contract terms, fees, discounts, etc., there is a generally perceived lack of transparency and a sense of confusion.
Until now, no person had access to easy to use personalized and comprehensive tools to properly analyze and navigate through the hundreds of available electricity choices. Smart power to choose means to understand not only the effective total cost accounting for their actual usage profile and small print, but also the environmental implications of electricity consumption.
In other words, smart up power to choose is about reducing your electricity bills while reducing your carbon footprint, because achieve both is possible with EnerWisely.
The power of choice combined with consumer awareness holds tremendous potential towards achieving sustainable energy for all. That’s why EnerWisely sustainability platform provides users the tools and knowledge to make the most of their energy choices.
