You’re allowed to buy electricity from a separate broker than your “power company” so they split the bill between power usage and service fees plus there’s state and local taxes.
Being allowed to on paper and actually being able to are wildly different things. They’re monopolies in most areas that get away with it by stringently denying that fact. Same with cable companies.

I’m curious about this, would you be willing to elaborate?
Where I live we don’t have a choice of electricity providers for my home. Are you talking about states that have deregulated energy markets?
