Moving to or from the TNMP Utility Area?
If you’re moving to Texas or from a regulated area like Austin or San Antonio, you’ll need to enroll in an energy plan. You can start your search by using Energy Savings to compare plans available in your zip code. Once you choose and sign up for a plan, your provider will send a move-in order to TNMP. Your service starts on the date you request.
If you’re moving between deregulated areas, you’ll need to check if your current provider operates at your new address. If it does, and you’re still under contract, you may need to transfer your service to avoid early termination fees (ETFs). If your provider doesn’t serve your new location, you’re typically released from your contract. You can then shop around for new energy plans from other providers.
