What You Need to Know About TXU Energy

For many people in Texas, TXU is synonymous with electric company.  In parts of the state including Dallas and Fort Worth, it was the only choice for electricity prior to the deregulation of the Texas electricity market.

Today there are many more electricity providers to choose from.  But TXU remains the default choice for many Texas consumers.  TXU enjoys tremendous brand recognition in Texas thanks to its long company history.

 

Power To Choose – TXU Energy

Deregulation split the TXU electricity provider from the utility (Oncor) responsible for maintaining power lines and delivering electricity.  Now Oncor delivers electricity for North Texas consumers regardless of who they choose as their electricity provider.

This means that despite the powerful brand recognition TXU enjoys, consumers can choose any electricity provider they want.  Vaultelectricity.com has helped over 1,000,000 Texas consumers shop for electricity since 2009.  Now you can compare TXU electricity rates to other providers and choose the plan that works best for you.

TXU Electricity Plans

We have often praised TXU for their avoidance of gimmicky plans. While many other electric companies have turned to using plans that purposefully hide the true electricity cost the customer will experience, TXU has stayed more transparent by having a selection of easily understood plans.

Some examples of TXU energy plans that do stay in line and transparent are their Clear Deal 12 and Simple Value 12 plans, as well as the TXU Season Pass 12 plan.

History of TXU Energy

Not only is TXU the oldest electricity company in Texas, it is one of the oldest companies of any type.  It has been in operation since 1882.  It is still a very strong presence in the Texas electricity marketplace.  If you ever watch TV, chances are you will see multiple TXU adds daily.

Today TXU is known for its innovation in electricity plans.  It was the first provider to offer time of day plans such as the TXU Free Nights plan.  Today they extensively advertise their Free Nights and Solar days plan.  Since the introduction of the TXU Free Nights plan, many other providers have begun offering time of day plans and Free Weekend plans.  These plans are made possible by the adoption of smart meters across the state of Texas
