Texas electricity definition

Electricity Facts Label

Also: EFL

A standardized disclosure that summarizes a retail electricity product's price, contract terms, sources, and environmental information.

What it means

The EFL shows the product's disclosed mechanics and average prices at specified usage levels. It must be read with the TOS and YRAC, and its reference prices are not a promise that every bill will have the same effective rate.

Eyebiss interpretation

How the decision system uses this concept

Eyebiss treats the EFL as plan-term evidence, not as proof of what a particular household paid.
