On Jan. 1, 2002, the electric utility industry's retail market in Texas was deregulated. For the first time in Texas history, residential and commercial
consumers were able to choose their retail electric providers from a lineup of powerful competitors. Under deregulation in Houston, consumers can
continue buying power from Reliant Energy, or they can switch to another provider. Reliant Energy provides a complete suite of energy products and
services to approximately 1.9 million electricity customers, ranging from residences and small businesses to large commercial, industrial and
institutional customers, primarily in Texas. Reliant Energy and TXU Energy have provided electric service to Texas families for more than 100 years. To
compare the prices and services of retail electric providers (REPs), the customer should ask for the company's "Electricity Facts Label," which
provides information on prices, contracts, sources of power generation and emissions. The Texas Public Utility Commission provides information about
electric choices or call

Moving Tip:
From the start think of moving everything in one move at one time! Piecemeal moving across town
will turn three trips into thirty trips or more. From your previous residence transport all of your furniture and belongings on one truck
one time. |
