- Which customers count
- Full-service customers only: those who buy both supply and delivery from the company, so the rate includes both. Listed: companies with at least 1,000 full-service residential customers in Texas. EIA's adjustment rows and rooftop solar owners count toward the Texas average but are not listed.
- State average
