In Texas, you can sign up with a new electricity provider in a few easy steps:
If you're under contract with your current provider, make sure you won't be charged an early termination fee if you switch providers before your contract ends.
Once you decide which electricity plan is right for you, just shop for your perfect plan and sign up with your new provider!
After you sign up, your new provider will contact your current provider to complete the process. There's usually no further action needed on your part and you won't experience any interruption in service while the switch is being made.
This was such an easy way to start using renewable energy!

You might see one or more of these terms as you go through the process of signing up for an electricity plan:
A move means you are signing up for electricity at a new address. When you are signing up for electricity in a new home, you must choose your start date. You can schedule your start date up to 90 days in advance.
A priority move means you are moving and have requested electricity service to start in your new home in three days or less, not including blackout dates. You can request to have your service turned on the same business day if you sign up before 2 p.m.
A switch means you are switching your electricity provider and signing up for service at your existing residence. You can either switch at the next available date, which is usually between one and seven says, or you can request a start date that is at least eight days after the day you sign up, not including blackout dates.
A transfer occurs when you are moving to a new home and transferring your electricity service with your current provider to your new home. When you transfer your service, you must select when you want your current home's electricity to turn off and when your new home's electricity should turn on.
Blackout dates are dates when your utility will not connect electricity. These include Sundays and some holidays. Check with your utility or your new provider for a list of blackout dates.
