Could you build this?
Partial While the comparison frontend and rate calculator are straightforward, maintaining accurate, real-time Texas retail electric provider (REP) tariff and EFL data feeds requires manual scraping and regulatory parsing.
What it would actually take: A production version requires a Next.js/React frontend backed by a PostgreSQL database holding complex multi-tiered electricity rate formulas. The hardest part is ingesting and normalizing electricity facts labels (EFLs), TDSP delivery charges, and variable usage tiers across dozens of Texas REPs without an open unified API, requiring custom web scrapers, OCR/PDF parsing pipelines, and domain knowledge of the ERCOT retail market.
