This article is an interest description of Texas electricity pricing for
one provider and for the market in general:

"Some retail power companies in Texas are making an unusual plea to
their customers amid a deep freeze that has sent electricity prices
skyrocketing: Please, leave us.

Power supplier, Griddy, told all 29,000 of its customers that they
should switch to another provider as spot electricity prices soared to
as high as $9,000 a megawatt-hour. Griddy’s customers are fully exposed
to the real-time swings in wholesale power markets, so those who don’t
leave soon will face extraordinarily high electricity bills."

The catch:

"Hector Torres, an energy trader in Texas, who is a Griddy customer
himself, said he tried to switch services over the long weekend but
couldn’t find a company willing to take him until Wednesday, when the
weather is forecast to turn warmer."
