About ChooseMyPower.org
In 1999, Texas passed Senate Bill 7, giving millions of Texans the power to choose their electricity provider. That right — your power to choose — is what this site is named after, and it's what we're here to help you exercise.
Your Power to Choose
Power to Choose isn't just a website. It's a Texas consumer right. Since January 2002, residents in deregulated areas — about 85% of the state — have been free to pick which company sells them electricity. Your utility still delivers power through the same wires. That doesn't change. But you get to decide who generates it and at what rate.
The state created power2choose.org as the official comparison tool. It lists every available plan. But it shows rates at only three levels, doesn't calculate your actual monthly cost, and doesn't help you understand which plan genuinely fits your situation. The access problem got solved. The comparison problem didn't.
Why We Built ChooseMyPower
The average Texas household spends $1,800+ per year on electricity. Choosing the wrong plan can mean paying 20–40% more than you need to. We built ChooseMyPower because picking a plan shouldn't require a spreadsheet.
ChooseMyPower calculates what you'll actually pay each month — based on how much electricity your home uses, not just the three benchmarks on the Electricity Facts Label. We explain plan structures in plain English. We sort by real cost. No tricks, no games, no manufactured urgency.
Who We Are
ChooseMyPower.org is operated by ComparePower, a Texas-based electricity comparison platform that has been helping Texans navigate the deregulated market since 2009. ComparePower is registered with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (Broker Registration BR190020).
Over 15+ years and 2.5 million plan comparisons, ComparePower has built the data, the tools, and the market intelligence to know which plans are genuinely good deals — and which ones just look good at 2,000 kWh. ChooseMyPower brings that intelligence to Texans who are new to electricity choice, frustrated by the process, or just want a straight answer.
How We Make Money
When you find a plan on ChooseMyPower and click "View & Enroll," you're taken to ComparePower.com to complete enrollment. If you enroll, the electricity provider pays ComparePower a commission. You pay nothing extra — no fees, no markups, no hidden costs.
This doesn't affect how we rank plans. Plans are sorted by what you'll actually pay each month. We don't boost providers who pay more or hide plans with lower commissions.
