Healthy Consumer Choice in Texas Retail Electric Market
December 07, 2009 12:29 PM
The Texas Consumer Association (TCA) is impressed with the results of a recent study that ranks Texas first on consumer choice in competitive retail electric markets. Texas was the only residential competitive electricity market rated “excellent” in the study. The Annual Baseline Assessment of Choice in Canada and the United States (ABACCUS) gauges progress in the implementation of commercial and retail electricity choice.
“Consumers exercising their choices is a key indicator of a healthy competitive market. Clearly, the retail electricity market in Texas is following a growth path similar to the competitive telecom market — and that’s good for consumers,” said TCA’s Executive Director, Sandra Haverlah. TCA advocates for consumer choice in many non-competitive markets, including telecommunications, to bring greater selections and advanced services to Texans.
Sandra Haverlah has been working on consumer pocketbook issues with the Texas Consumer Association (TCA) since 1988 and has served as President of TCA for the last decade.
