During peak periods, electricity can be quite expensive for most consumers. Even in times of slack demand, the reductions in prices do not match the spikes during times of high usage.
In Texas, utility customers are able to switch electric companies, and obtain plans with variable or fixed rates. The power that is furnished to large energy purchasers is often less than residential customers pay, but homeowners are finding comparable electricity pricing when they switch to a different provider in their area.

For several decades, the electricity sector has enjoyed gradual increases in demand. There were declines during the economic recession of 2008, but never two annual periods that showed consecutive declines, since 1950.
