Difference between a Texas Utility Company and a Texas Retail Electric Provider (REP)

Utility Company

The transmission and distribution of your electricity is managed by the utility company. They are also known as your Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP). The utility company is responsible for monitoring and measuring the energy consumption used in your home or business, and they own the infrastructure, such as towers, wires, poles, and lines. The utility companies that provide services for deregulated areas of Texas include AEP Texas Central, AEP Texas North, CenterPoint Energy, Oncor, Texas New Mexico Power and Lubbock Power & Light. If you ever experience a Dallas power outage, you would contact the utility company for assistance.

Retail Electric Provider

A retail electric provider (REP), also known as an energy provider or electric company, buys electricity in bulk from producers and sells it to customers like you. In a deregulated market, you can choose which REP you want to sign up with. When you enroll with a REP, they take care of your customer service and billing.

So, if you’re in a deregulated energy market, you’ll be signing up for electricity services with a retail electric provider. With many electricity providers to choose from, check out our plans.

FAQs

What is the difference between a utility company and a retail electric provider?

The difference lies in their roles and responsibilities. A utility company is responsible for the transmission and distribution of electricity, and measuring energy consumption in homes or businesses. They own and manage the infrastructure, including towers, wires, poles, and lines. A retail electric provider (REP), also known as an energy provider, procures electricity in bulk from energy producers and sells it to customers. When enrolling for electric services, customers choose a REP, who then handles customer service and billing.

How do I set up electricity in a new house?

You will sign up for electricity services with a retail electric provider in deregulated energy markets. Using your zip code, we can help you shop for electricity rates available for Oncor. If you are moving into a new home, you will be enrolling for electricity services as a move in.

How do I switch providers?

To switch electric providers, simply find an electric company and plan you are interested in. Contact Just Energy at 866-288-3105 and enroll as a 'switch' to have the electric services in your current location switched to the new provider. You do not have to contact your current electricity provider to switch. However, please remember that if you plan on switching 14 days before your contract's end date, you may have to pay a cancellation fee. The early termination fees vary across electricity companies and plans. Check with your current electricity provider to ensure no early termination fees show up as a surprise on your final bill.
