In late August Dallas Business Journal writer Matt Joyce sat down to talk a little electricity with Texas Power. The result was a tasty lunch and a great visit about the current ERCOT (Electrictic Reliability Council of Texas) market, the competitive landscape and Texas Powers’ efforts to carve out their own space.

Curious about Texas Power? Energy Choice Matters was too. In mid-2011 the well known and widely respected Energy Choice Matters sought out Texas Power to learn a little more but about the company that was offering consistently competitive summertime fixed prices. What followed was a discussion about ERCOT, prices, acquisitions and the PowerUp Arlington program.

Thinking of switching? Texas Power offers an unbiased approach. In mid-2011, Texas Power teamed up with the City of Arlington to offer a unbiased understanding of how to switch electricity providers. Recognizing that many people are paying higher than competitive rates we sought to educate ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) consumers on how to switch electricity providers.

Each week the Ft. Worth Star Telegram compiles the five lowest rates for the Oncor territory with their Public Utility Commission (P.U.C.) complaint rating. This weekly compilation offers consumers in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex a quick and high level view of current electric competition. For several straight weeks now Texas Power has been at or near the top with the best combination of price and lowest complaint rating. This is great news for consumers as switching to a reputable, low cost retail electric provider is one of the simplest and wisest economic decisions a consumer can make. The recent heat is more than likely a sample of what is yet to come this summer through not only DFW but through all of the ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) territories. The folks here at Texas Power encourage you to review your bills and price per kWh (kilowatt hour) now rather than waiting to receive your next monthly electricity bill.

The Texas Power Give Back - June 4th, 2011

Start talking about energy, electricity and the National Smart Grid and you get a variety of responses and opinions. In Texas and throughout ERCOT (The Electric Reliability Council of Texas) the electricity conversation is no different. As of late May 2011, approximately 3,500,000 Smart Meters have replaced the older “dial” meters on residences throughout Texas. These older “dial” meters are utilizing technology which is about 50 years old and while they have served their purpose well, new energy technology is taking precedence. That consumers did not have a choice combined with bad press early on has made overall acceptance of the new smart meters a difficult pill to swallow. While the new Advanced Meter Systems (AMS) are more accurate, this again is part of consumer concern. Accuracy works both ways though. Old technology may have given you an extra little break on you usage reads one month but another month it may have worked against you. It is a good thing that Smart Meters are more accurate and they provide the market more options. Our guess is that 3 – 5 years after the last meters are installed many of the existing concerns will be forgotten and consumers will be enjoying the benefits of the new meters. Texas Power intends to highlight several of the new smart meter features and possibilities in the coming days but for now we wanted to offer a quick update of the ERCOT region via the Transmission Distribution Utilities a.k.a TDU’s. To break down the approximate 3.5 million smart meters installed to date, here are the numbers by the service or TDU territory.

It is amazing what little things can do to add up to so much. Take lights for instance: household light bulbs, each drawing a little power, can add a large cost to the electricity bill, very quickly. So what’s the solution?
