It’s time for Texas to get competitive on transmission development

Texas operates the most competitive wholesale electricity generation market in the United States. Every day, hundreds of power generators compete in ERCOT-run auctions to deliver the cheapest power to homes and businesses. The retail electric market is equally robust, with retail electric providers (REPs) vigorously competing for customers based on price, service, and preferences. The PUCT’s www.powertochoose.org website makes it easy for Texans to shop among hundreds of REPs.

Thanks to customer choice and competition...
