[2] Pursuant to applicable Texas statutes establishing competitive electricity markets within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, all customers served by Retail Energy Providers must be provided bundled energy and delivery services, so are included under "Full-Service Providers."
[3] Sum of Energy-Only Providers and Delivery-Only Service.
[4] From 1996 to 1999, average revenue was estimated based on retail sales reported on the Form EIA-861.
  NA = Not available.  
  Notes: See Glossary reference for definitions Full-Service Providers sell bundled electricity services (e.g., both energy and delivery) to end users. Full-Service Providers may purchase electricity from others (such as Independent Power Producers or other Full-Service Providers) prior to delivery.  Direct sales from independent facility generators to end use consumers are reported under Full-Service Providers.  Energy-Only Providers sell energy to end use customers;  incumbent utility distribution firms provide Delivery-Only Services for these customers.  Data reported under Restructured Retail Service Providers represent the sum of Energy-Only and Delivery-Only Services.
