Two ways to sign up

Choose how you want to pay for your electricity

We are a Texas electricity company with two service options. Neither requires a deposit or a credit check: the only difference is when you pay.

Most popular

Prepaid electricity

Pay in advance, just like a cell phone top-up. See your daily usage and add funds whenever you want.

  • Pay only for what you use
  • Daily balance and usage alerts
  • No long-term contract
  • No surprises at the end of the month

  • One bill per month
  • No top-ups or balance to monitor
  • Ideal if you have a stable home
  • Fixed-rate plans available

Why choose us?

The easiest way to connect electricity to your home

Whether you moved in two days ago or a bank has already turned you down, you can still qualify here.

No deposit

We don't hold hundreds of dollars from you just to get started. That money stays with you.

No credit check

We don't check your credit history. A limited, poor, or nonexistent credit history won't stop you from signing up.

No Social Security number

We don't need your Social Security number to get your service started.

Same-day connection

Call before 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and we don't charge extra for same-day service.

Where do the charges on my electricity bill come from?

Understanding what your electricity bill includes is key to managing your expenses, and it basically consists of three main elements that don't change.

First, energy charges for the kilowatt-hours you use, which is what you pay your electricity provider (REP). Second, TDSP delivery charges: mandatory fees from the company responsible for maintaining the poles and power lines and measuring your electricity usage. Finally, mandatory state taxes.
