Local service context
For a portfolio with one TNMP site and one Oncor site, show their delivery costs separately even if a supplier offers one consolidated agreement. Build the electricity comparison from complete meter-level bills, the current service classification and signed supply documents. Show utility charges, supplier charges and forecast usage separately so a lower unit rate is not mistaken for a guaranteed reduction in the total bill.
Apply the Texas eligibility rules
Retail electricity choice applies in participating utility territories. Identify the transmission and distribution utility and the account’s ESI ID before comparing retail electric providers. Municipal systems, cooperatives and parts of Texas outside the competitive ERCOT market require separate checks; a Texas postal address alone does not establish access.
Natural gas service follows the local gas utility’s tariff and account requirements. Electricity shopping rights do not establish gas transportation or marketer eligibility. Keep the two commodities and their authorizations separate in a review.
Account checks before requesting offers
For this TNMP account, resolve the service-territory and contract questions below before using a price comparison. The current invoice, exact address and account class provide the starting evidence.
- Use the TNMP service-area map and the bill to confirm the actual electric premise.
- Compare each territory's delivered budget separately; check whether quoted supply components and pass-through clauses are equivalent.
- Verify the current Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) premises, authorized signer and active supplier before making a change; request a complete written offer instead of relying on an advertised rate.
