How Do I Sign Up for Electricity?
In Texas, you can sign up with a new electricity provider in a few easy steps:
Check whether you're under contract
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.
Find a plan that fits your lifestyle
Once you decide which electricity plan is right for you, just shop for your perfect plan and sign up with your new provider!
Sit back and relax
After you sign up, your new provider will contact your local utility 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.
