About Texas Competitive Power Advocates
Who We Are
- TCPA is a trade association representing power generators, wholesale power marketers and retail providers with business in the Texas and ERCOT wholesale and retail electric markets.
- TCPA is dedicated to supporting and promoting competitive wholesale and retail markets that ensure ample, reliable and affordable electricity to Texas consumers.
- TCPA hopes to maintain mutually beneficial and substantive communications with legislators, PUC Commissioners, staff and other market participants on issues affecting competition in Texas’ electric markets.

- Represent more than $16 billion of investment in the state.
- Provide a combined 185 years of experience in the Texas market.
