Power Switch

a fileThe Texas Power Switch is a group energy buying program that allows residents to join together and benefit from lower electricity rates through volume purchasing. As a bonus, all electricity plans comprise 100% renewable energy sources, which benefits the environment.

There is no cost and no obligation associated with the program. It helps residents better understand the confusing, deregulated energy market and potentially provides a pathway to saving money on electric bills. The more people who register for the program, the better the opportunity for the Power Switch team to secure a low-cost deal.

Sign up for the Power Switch today.

How it works 

  • Sign Up: Register for the program by October 20, 2026 if your current electricity contract ends between November 1, 2026 and February 28, 2027. Even if you've participated in the program before, you must register again for the current auction.
  • Rate Announcement: Texas Power Switch will conduct a reverse auction and the provider who offers the cheapest rates gets to offer you a new electricity contract.
  • Personal Offer: After the auction, residents will receive a personal offer by November 3, 2026.
  • Accept or Decline: After receiving your offer, you have until November 30, 2026, to accept or decline. If you choose to accept, Texas Power Switch will take care of the switching process with your new electricity provider.

If you have questions or need help with your offer, you can email Texas Power Switch or call 888-350-1070. 

Future Programs

Starting in 2025, the Power Switch is reducing the number of programs offered from three to two. As a result, the summer program, which included an auction in April/May, will be discontinued. The decision is due to the extreme volatility in energy prices during the summer months over the past few years. 

For residents whose contracts no longer fall into one of the switch window, it is recommended that you use the Public Utility Commission of Texas' website to find a new contract that expires within the new Power Switch windows.
