Utility Suppliers (TDU)
Providers create plan prices based on service area. Service areas are broken up by “Utility Suppliers,” more formally known as Transmission and Distribution Utilities, or TDUs. Utility Suppliers are responsible for delivering electricity from power plants to your home. The cost of delivering electricity to your home is included in the electricity plan and your electric bill. The provider passes through the delivery fees to the Utility Supplier.

Interesting Energy Facts About Texas
Brief History of Texas Electricity
Texas revolutionized its electricity market in 1999 with Senate Bill 7, breaking up monopolies and introducing deregulation. This split utilities into power generators, transmission/distribution providers (TDUs), and retail electric providers (REPs), giving consumers the power to choose their plans.
Today, over 85% of Texans live in deregulated areas, shaping one of the most competitive energy markets in the U.S.
Current Electricity Market in Texas
Texas operates a unique, independent power grid managed by ERCOT, serving 90% of the state.
Deregulation fuels competition among 100+ retail providers, offering diverse plans from fixed-rate to renewable options. Curious about how it all works? Learn more about the Deregulated Electricity Market in Texas.
