Texas Electricity Provider Map

September 30, 2011

Last week’s purchase of First Choice Power by Direct Energy was yet another major acquisition of a Retail Electricity Provider by a major energy conglomerate. There’s been around a half a dozen of these deals in the past year, and in my opinion things have gotten a bit muddled and confusing. So I wanted to write a post to chart exactly who owns who in the deregulated electricity space in Texas.

Dominion Resources: Dominion Energy probably isn’t a name that is very recognized by Texas electricity customers. However, they are a huge energy company that deals in both energy generation and distribution in multiple states. Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, they own the incumbent and regulated electricity providers in Virginia and North Carolina. In Texas, they own Cirro Energy, which they purchased in 2008. Earlier this year, Cirro Energy purchased Simple Power and absorbed their customers.

NRG: NRG, a new Jersey based company, is another huge energy company with massive power generation resources. On top of energy generation plants, NRG also owns Green Mountain Energy, which they purchased in 2010 for 350 million dollars. In 2009, they purchased former incumbent Texas electricity provider Reliant Energy for 287 million and change when Reliant was under heavy financial distress. This was a steal considering Reliant was the second largest REP in the state at the time and has huge brand recognition. In turn, Reliant Energy owns (and I believe operates) Pennywise Power, which is a new brand they’ve put into the deregulated Texas electricity market to try and capture different customers without effecting their core brand. So NRG owns Green Mountain and Reliant, and Reliant in turn owns Pennywise Power.

Just Energy – Just Energy is yet another big energy company, with resources all over North America. They had been a fairly smaller player in the retail electricity market in Texas until recently. Just Energy itself was mostly a niche provider, offering 5 year long term contracts to customers. However, they recently purchased the entire retail arm of Fulcrum Power. That includes Amigo Energy, Tara Energy, and Smart Prepaid. So now all of those brands are part of the Just Energy portfolio. They’ll likely keep the branding and still do business under the names Tara and Amigo, but it’s all Just Energy. Just Energy also owns another smaller REP, Commerce Energy.

Direct Energy: Direct Energy is actually a subsidiary of a British company called Centrica, but they’re known almost exclusively in North America as Direct Energy, so that’s the name we’re going with. Direct Energy is yet another huge energy generation company with huge and varied resources. In the retail electricity space they do business as Direct Energy and they are one of the biggest REP’s in Texas. They also operate in Texas as WTU Energy and CPL Energy in two respective TDSPs. In the Spring, Direct Energy also purchased Gateway Energy Resources for 90 millions dollars. Since then, Direct has removed Gateway as a brand from doing business in Texas. Just last week, Direct Energy made another huge purchase, this time of First Choice Power for 270 million dollars. Which is a huge price tag. So, as of now, every company I mentioned above is really a subsidiary of Direct Energy.

Constellation Energy: Constellation Energy is the largest energy supplier in America. Their 2007 revenues were 21 billion dollars. So yes, they’re another big energy guy. They own the regulated electricity entity Baltimore Gas and Electric. In 2 month period last spring and summer, Constellation announced purchases of both StarTex Power as well as MX Energy, two retail electricity providers that operate in the Texas deregulated markets.

Gexa Energy: NextEra Energy is the parent company of Florida Power and Light, the regulated electricity provider for much of Florida. They’re another big energy company, having generation resources in over 20 states. In 2005, Florida Power & Light purchased Gexa Energy. They still do business in Texas under the name Gexa.

Dynowatt: Dynowatt is a subsidiary of Accent Energy, which is a large company with natural gas ties in Ohio. Accent also serves deregulated New York, but they do business in Texas as Dynowatt.

TXU Energy: TXU is actually a subsidiary of Energy Future Holdings, which also owns Luminant, the power generation portion of the old TXU company that was forced to split because of deregulation laws. Now Luminant and TXU operate separately. TXU is the largest individual REP in Texas and one of the two former incumbent providers.

The following Retail Electricity Providers are stand-alone entities:

Texpo Energy: Texpo Energy is a smaller company operating in Texas. What makes them interesting is that they actually operate under 3 different brand names while all sharing the same PUC Certificate. The other two brands are Southwest Power & Light and YEP. So to sum things up, Texpo, Southwest Power & Light, and YEP are all the same company operating in Texas under different names.

  • Champion Energy
  • Stream Energy
  • Ambit Energy
  • Brilliant Energy
  • Texas Power
  • Liberty Power
  • Mega Energy
  • APNA Energy
  • Bounce Energy
  • Spark Energy
  • Hopefully this helps to give people a clearer picture about who some of the players are in Texas electricity. It is important that people know exactly who the company is that is supplying their electricity. For example, if someone had a bad experience with one company, they might not want to get service from another one of their subsidiaries. And since there’s been so many purchases and mergings of REP’s in the last 6 months, I thought it might be a good idea to chronicle which companies have ended where after the dust has settled. I’ll try to update this page moving forward as well. I doubt we’ve seen the last of big REP acquisitions, so this family tree might change.

    I’ve included a crude flowchart below. Yes, I do realize it looks like it was put together by a 3rd grader.

    I figured that something was up when Simple Power removed all of their plans from Power To Choose sometime last week or over the weekend. So today I wasn’t surprised when a trip to the Simple Power website redirected to a page at Cirro Energy with the following message:

    We appreciate your business as a valued Simple Power customer, and want to share some exciting news. Simple Power customers are now part of Cirro Energy, a Dominion Resources company. Your service is about to get even better with the backing of a Fortune 200 company that has been serving electric customers for over 100 years.

    Rest assured, there will be no changes to your current contract and there is nothing you need to do at this time.

    Cirro Energy has been operating in the Texas electricity market pretty much since it first deregulated in 2001. Cirro is based out of Richardson, Texas and they have a strong brand awareness in the Dallas area. Additionally their parent company, Dominion Resources, is a huge energy generation and transportation company that operates in the middle part of America.

    I’m not certain exactly how many customers Cirro is adding from their purchase of Simple Power, but it is a fairly substantial number. More and more it seems like the bigger Texas electricty providers are purchasing and absorbing some of their competition in the retail electricity markets. A couple months back, Spark Energy purchased the customer book of Abacus energy after they ran into financial trouble due to the harsh winter storm that engulfed the state and its’ effect on electricity prices.

    Customers who had a contract with Simple Power should keep in mind that in Texas, they have electric choice. That means that just because Cirro Energy has purchased the customers and contracts, customers will still likely have the chance to select a different electricity provider if they don’t want to go forward with Cirro.

  • Happy Monday, everyone. We’re starting fresh with a new week’s worth of Texas electricity rates for shoppers. As always, we begin with Dallas electricity and Fort Worth electricity, which for all intents and purposes might as well be referred to as Metroplex Mondays. We’ve finally got chilly wintry conditions all over Texas, so we’re nearing the window when electricity prices will be at their lowest for the year. When this happens, I strongly encourage customers to lock in long term fixed rate electricity plans to get through the summer. If shoppers aren’t interested in that direction, we also have listed out month to month electricity plans and various green energy plans as well. There should be something listed for everyone looking to save money on electricity.

  • Today’s entry into the Texas electricity examines the North Texas area (AEP North), which covers electricity in Abilene and electricity in San Angelo. The electricity rates in North Texas are typically around the same price as electricity in Houston. Just like in the other regions of Texas, there are currently some fixed rate electricity plans coming in at cheaper rates than the month to month electricity plans. This is the first time I’ve seen that happen, and in my opinion it’s a clear sign that consumers should be looking into long term electricity plans over anything short term. Especially considering prices are the lowest they’ve been in years, and are definitely cheaper than the rates customers will find in the summertime. The list below includes the best rates on short term plans, long term plans, and 100% environmentally friendly green energy plans.

  • Today’s entry into for this week’s Texas electricity shopping guide covers the South Texas region of Texas (AEP Central). This region is hands down the most expensive area in Texas, with prices starting at a full cent higher than rates in Dallas. In fact, this week I’m seeing something that I’ve seen for the first time in regards to electricity plans: the fixed rate electricity plans in South Texas actually start off cheaper than the month to month electricity plans, even including the promotional rates. I’ve seen them start at the same rates before, but never cheaper. It simply goes to show that electricity companies are more interested in attracting customers for long term deals instead of dealing with the uncertainty of month to month customers. And to attract those long term customers, they’re willing to give them the best electric rates possible.

    Below are a list of the cheapest electricity rates from many of the most respected electricity providers in Texas. It includes long term fixed rate plans, month to month electricity plans, and 100% environmentally friendly green electricity plans.

  • In our second shopping guide entry of the new year, we’re taking a look at the rates for Houston electricity. The rates in Houston are, as always, a bit higher than in Dallas, and are about the the median in terms of Texaselectricity rates, so looking for deals on your electric rates is a smart way to save money.

    Particularly right now, in the middle of winter when the natural gas and electric prices are as low as they will be all year, consumers should be shopping for long term fixed electricity plans. The rates are only going to get more expensive through spring and the summer months, so locking in plans at their lowest point makes the most sense.
