In January of 2002, Texas officially became a deregulated energy marketplace, allowing most residents the power to choose their own electricity provider. (Those who still have regulated power include those who are served either by a utility cooperative or a utility that’s owned by a municipality.)
Deregulation introduced market competition by providing more energy options for consumers. This subsequently drove electricity rates down, because now, the transmission and distribution is handled by the utility, while the Retail Electricity Providers (REPs) manage the sale of electricity to consumers.
In 2006, Texas surpassed California in wind-power production, becoming the top wind-producing state in the US. The state set renewable energy goals in 1999 and again in 2005, which it has since far surpassed. Texas produced one-fourth of all the US wind-powered electricity in 2017, and today, Texas generates more renewable wind power than most countries.
Many cities in Texas benefit from renewable energy sources. In fact, Georgetown, TX, with a population of 50,000, powers itself entirely with renewable energy.
