After establishing service with AEP (and understanding the base prices AEP pushes through their service Retail Electric Providers to end consumers), the only other step left is to shop for a Retail Energy Provider (at least a REP can be chosen whereas the utility company comes with your home)! Feel free to check out the Full List of Retail Electric Providers in Texas. Once decided, starting service is pretty straightforward. To open an account in your name you will simply need to call your ideal REP and provide:

• Your exact address (including your street address, unit number, city/town, and zip code)
• Your full name and contact information (phone number, email, address)
• The date you require service (in other words, the date you move in)

Many REPs require a security deposit to activate accounts for new customers, so you may also be asked for your Social Security Number (SSN) in order for the provider to perform a credit check.

For a starting point, here are a few of the most recognized electric companies in Texas:

• Reliant
• TXU Energy
• Stream Energy
• Spark Energy
• Champion
• Constellation
• Bounce
• Cirro Energy

A great source for researching REPs operating in Texas is the Public Utility Commission of Texas website. They maintain a fairly current listing of formal Complaint statistics for Energy providers that include formal complaints filed, billing problems, documented cases of slamming/cramming, and service quality experiences by customers. Working from the bottom of the list to the top might be the most efficient way to go about finding your next provider since the list ranks the REPs from the highest to lowest on number of issues they have had.
