Constellation NewEnergy describes themselves as North America's #1 competitive energy supplier and some would agree with this statement and some do not. They have about 20 employees in their Houston offices according to information from sources found online and assist primarily in procuring electricity for commercial businesses. Constellation NewEnergy is a very large electric company with a conservative energy hedging and sales approach. They have been in the commercial energy markets in the beginning of restructuring and deregulation in Texas. They know how to properly put together competitive pricing for commercial businesses but many other energy companies are beginning to do the same thing and there is now plenty of competition in the Texas market fighting for the same customers. Multiple new electric providers have entered the market and have taken valuable commercial business away this electric provider. Constellation NewEnergy continues to grow and change with the ever changing energy market in Texas.

Champion Energy Services is partially owned by Lehman Brothers company but has been bought out by a large investor in the Texas energy market. Champion was bought out prior to Lehman's financial disaster and remains a strong well-capitalized retail electric provider (REP) in Texas. They have consistently provided competitive electric power service to residential, commercial and industrial (C&I) businesses in Texas for several years. They have wide access to wholesale power supply sources and tremendous experience in commodity marketplaces. Although there have been issues in the past as they were bought and sold by several companies they have now settled down and the in house customer service platform they have now ensures you will receive accurate and straightforward billing.

This is a slightly new take on how to sell electricity in Texas with similarities to both Ignite Energy and Ambit Energy. This is a relatively new Texas MLM start up that sells electricity through a large independent sales base which increases their sales organization through word of mouth and enthusiastic sells pep rallies throughout the state of Texas. The company began business back in 2005 and are a licensed REP registered with the PUCT under the number 10105. Their electric rate information on their site is out of date from back in October 2007 and in order to get a updated price you need to email or call the company. This is a very small up start and has the potential to balloon into a sales organization much like Ignite or Ambit Energy. The downside to the smaller Retail Electric Providers like this is an untested customer service and billing system. Signing up with an energy company with no track record can pose a risk although at the most if there were an issue the risk can be summed up in one word, frustration! Hopefully this company does well as the underdog in the ever growing list of Retail Electric Providers in Texas.

Tara Energy started business back in 2002 just as "Electricity Deregulation" in Texas was beginning. Tara Energy is located in the energy hub, Houston Texas and is a licensed Retail Electricity Provider (REP). Tara sells electric service to commercial and residential customers in Texas. Lately they have offered a competitive residential electric rate with a few other providers beating them by only a small fraction. Tara Energy's commercial contract is objectionable as they have labeled a couple of additional charges in their contract "official names" and many pass these off as being a part of the TDSP charges that are normally past through on a 1 to 1 basis by the pole and wires company. These additional charges if added into the commercial "energy only" rate would show their rate to be uncompetitive but since they section these charges out unlike most other energy providers in Texas you may think you are getting a better electric rate then you really are.

TXU Energy is the incumbent retail electric provider in the North region of Texas, Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. When Texas deregulated the retail electric market TXU broke off of their pole and wires company to only sell retail electricity along with their power generation division. Oncor Electric Delivery became the name of what was previously called TXU Electric Delivery which services and owns the meters, poles and wires. The Texas state government ERCOT have worked out an agreement with TXU Energy that if any Retail Electric Provider in this region were to go bankrupt and the electric customers would be automatically switched to the POLR or TXU as way to insure continued electricity service to those affected. Because of the great work by ERCOT and the POLR system Texas is the benchmark state on how deregulation should be done.

Reliant is the incumbent Retail Electric Provider in the Houston Texas area and at one time owned both the retail electric division that sells the energy to residences and commercial businesses and the pole and wires company that owns and services the electric lines. Texas deregulated the Texas electric market back in 2002 and broke off Reliant from the pole and wires company Centerpoint. They are now rebranded as Reliant Energy and Centerpoint now only provides pole and wire transmission and distribution services. Reliant has worked out a deal with Texas ERCOT to be the POLR or Provider Of Last Resort. What this means is if you were to sign up with an electric company that later on goes bankrupt during the course of the electricity agreement you would be switched back to Reliant Energy with no interruption in service. This POLR setup created by the ERCOT deregulation organization has become a benchmark in how to do deregulation in other states and continues to effectively provide for continued uninterrupted electric service as new energy companies come and go in the Texas retail energy market.

Spark Energy is a Retail Electric Provider based out of Houston Texas. They began business back in 2002 when Texas deregulated and have maintained a strong and growing position in the Texas Electricity market.
