Power to Choose in Texas
Embrace your power to choose Texas electricity plans with Amigo Energy.
What is Power to Choose?
Thanks to the state’s deregulated energy market, Texans revel in the freedom to shape their energy destiny. But with freedom comes the responsibility of choice.
With the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) overseeing the market, you can rest assured that your energy choices are backed by credibility. In response to deregulation, PUCT established a game-changing tool: powertochoose.org.

Power to Choose FAQs
- How do I know if my city in Texas has deregulated energy?
Most Texans live in areas with deregulated electricity. The easiest way to check is to enter your ZIP code on the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) website or look for multiple retail electric providers serving your address. If you see different plan options from different companies, your city is in a deregulated area.
- Can I buy electricity plans on Powertochoose.org?
You can’t enroll in plans directly on Powertochoose.org, but you can enter your ZIP code to compare electricity plans available in your area. The site lists options from licensed Texas providers and then gives you a link to each company’s website, where you can review details and complete your enrollment.
- Does Powertochoose.org have bilingual resources?
Yes, Powertochoose.org offers a Spanish-language version of the site, making it easier for bilingual households to compare electricity plans. You can switch to Spanish directly on the website and access the same plan details, filters, and enrollment information in your preferred language.
