I've had fairly decent luck with municipal owned utilities in a few of the cities I lived with such as Georgetown and Austin. However, some of the rural electrical coops that I'm aware of also have extremely high rates.

BTW, Georgetown went totally green earlier this decade when they purchased wind power. However, they recently had a rate spike because of some of those contracts they signed earlier.
