Understanding Deregulated Electricity in Texas

Since 2002, most of Texas—including La Porte—operates under a deregulated electricity model. That means Transmission & Distribution Utilities like your local utility company maintain the poles and wires, while Retail Electric Providers (REPs) compete on price and service. Prepaid power is simply another billing format that gives you ultimate control of when and how you pay.
