Energy Deregulation in Tyler

Texas is an energy deregulated state, and Tyler is one of the cities that benefit from this particular law. Energy deregulation is defined as the business process that split or divided the services utilities could provide to their customers. While utilities remain responsible for the delivery of electricity, energy deregulation allows the supply of that electricity to be offered to consumers by groups or companies known as, electricity providers.

​

As a result of the open market, these electricity providers are in constant competition with each other. This means that they have to offer products, pricing and plans that are highly competitive to attract their customers. It also means that the customers themselves now have the option to pick and choose who supplies their energy based on their personal needs.
