Texas Launch Begins Today, August 1, 2023

The Texas Retail Energy Market

●Largest Deregulated Electricity Market in the United States:  85%of Texas power consumers can choose their electricity service.  Texas has electricity consumption of $24 billion per year – the highest among U.S. states and comparable to Great Britain and Spain.

●Most Renewable Energy in the United States:  Texas produced almost 10% of all renewable generation in the United States in 2021 with 157 TWh of production – 35% more than the second largest state, more than every ISO-New England state and more than New York and Pennsylvania combined.

●Fully Competitive Marketplace:  Unlike other deregulated energy markets, the utilities do not compete with Retail Electric Providers.   

●Framework for Product Innovation:  The Retail Electric Providers are responsible for billing the customer.  This allows for product innovation and differentiated customer value propositions. 

Think+ is a registered broker of electricity in Texas

●Unlike in other states, Think Energy, LLC is not a licensed Retail Electric Provider by Public Utility Commission of Texas.

●Think+ EAs can market electricity under the “Think Energy” brand that has been licensed to MI Texas REP 2, a Retail Electric Provider licensed by the Public Utility Commission of Texas.

●As a Think+ EA, you will receive the same credit in the Think+ compensation plan for sales made of Think Energy branded products in Texas as you do for Think Energy products in other states and districts.

Texas Promotions

To provide an even more rewarding experience for Energy Advisors choosing to build their business in Texas, we’ve announced two powerful Texas promotions:

Promotion 1 –  Texas Qualification for 2024 Leadership Summit

Qualify for the 2024 Leadership Summit: Kauai, Hawaii:

• Achieve and/or maintain rank of Director throughout 2023, with a minimum of 400 Texas Team Customers*
• Open to all current and new Energy Advisors

*Subject to the 40% leg rule (See Compensation Plan for details) 

Promotion 2: TX Electricity Band Points Increase  

From the launch of Texas through October 31, 2023, we are counting Texas customers as 1 – 3 customer points depending on their band as determined by their kWh usage (See Think+ Compensation Plan for usage band details).

This will help accelerate EA’s building in Texas to advance through the Think+ plan more quickly as customer points determine rank advancements and the corresponding rank advancement bonuses. These customer points will be permanently assigned as long as that customer stays on service, however these higher point values will no longer be available for new TX customers after October 31, 2023. 

■Band 1 Customers  = 1 Point*

■Band 2 Customers = 2 Points 

■Band 3 Customers = 3 Points

○Customer point value is permanent as long as the customer stays on the service.

○This will expedite Rank Promotions and Rank Advancement Bonuses 

○Applicable to TX customers enrolled by October 31, 2023

*Note: All TX customers initially show as 1 Point until we receive historical usage from utility (Typically within 1-2 business days)
