Deregulated Maps
Deregulated States in 2023
In deregulated energy markets — such as most of Texas, as well as some of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and a handful of other states — homes and businesses can “shop around” and select the retailer energy provider (REP) of their choice.
Energy consumers in deregulated energy markets have the power to switch to another energy provider if they’re unhappy with their current one — the biggest selling point of deregulation. Like in any other industry, competition naturally encourages companies to offer better prices, plans, and overall experience to attract and retain consumers.
