About Our Service Areas
Cost Effective Energy operates in select deregulated electricity markets across the United States. Our marketplace is designed to support customers only where energy choice is permitted by state regulation and where transparent comparisons are possible.
At present, we provide access to electricity plan comparisons in Texas, Ohio, and Connecticut — markets that allow residential customers to choose their electricity supplier while utilities continue managing delivery and infrastructure. Availability may still vary within each state depending on utility service territory.
Our service footprint is expanding. Additional states are actively being evaluated and added as regulatory access opens and supplier partnerships are finalized. We prioritize accuracy and consumer clarity over rapid expansion.
Transparency Disclaimer
Electricity choice is governed by state-specific deregulation laws. Plan availability depends on utility service areas and regulatory approval.
- Not all ZIP codes within a state may be eligible
- Utilities continue to deliver power regardless of supplier choice
- Supplier availability and pricing may change over time
ZIP code verification is required to ensure accurate plan comparisons and eligibility confirmation.
Deregulated States: How Availability Works
Electricity choice in the U.S. is not universal — here's how it actually works.
Supply vs. Delivery
Deregulation separated electricity supply from delivery. Independent suppliers now compete on price and contract terms, while utilities remain responsible for maintaining the grid, reliability, and outages.
Location Determines Eligibility
Because deregulation is governed at the state and utility level, eligibility depends on your location, not your preference. Even within deregulated states, some ZIP codes may not qualify for supplier choice.
We Are a Free Marketplace
Cost Effective Energy is a free online marketplace — not an energy provider. We present verified plan options, allow customers to compare providers, and facilitate enrollment directly with licensed suppliers.
Expanding Across the US
We're actively expanding to more deregulated states. Pennsylvania, Maryland, Illinois and more coming soon.
