TX "deregulated" electric power in 2002 and it's a frickin mess (IMHO anyway). You have wholesalers, retailers, fixed rates, variable rates and in this area alone I must have 100 different plans available and few are actually apples/apples comparisons and you better read the fine print very carefully. And by the way, our rates have gone nothing but up and service nothing but down. If you have billing issues you call your "retailer", if you have power issues you call your "wholesaler" and sometimes you just throw up....

Now you have a single wholesaler selling power to the resellers who then sell it on to me. Since there is only one wholesaler, everyone has their own marked up rates. So all this "competition" is really artificial. Just a different company marking up the same product. Only people doing better are the resellers.
