Competitive Landscape
Since the onset of Texas electricity deregulation in 2002, the regional ex-utility companies active in the Texas power market -- i.e., TXU Energy in north Texas, Reliant Energy in southeast Texas and Direct Energy in coastal and west Texas—continue to retain roughly 60% of their pre-deregulation former monopoly residential bases. Stream Energy competes for customers throughout Texas against these incumbent power retailers as well as other emerging electricity providers such as Think Energy, Gexa Energy, Bounce Energy, Green Mountain Energy, First Texas Energy Corporation, Texas Power and Cirro Energy.

Famous quotes containing the words competitive and/or landscape:
“Women of my age in America are at the mercy of two powerful and antagonistic traditions. The first is the ultradomestic fifties with its powerful cult of motherhood; the other is the strident feminism of the seventies with its attempt to clone the male competitive model.... Only in America are these ideologies pushed to extremes.”
—Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
—Joshua Meyrowitz, U.S. educator, media critic. “The Blurring of Public and Private Behaviors,” No Sense of Place: The Impact of Electronic Media on Social Behavior, Oxford University Press (1985)
