Tomball Power Switch

With the approval of the City Council, the City of Tomball is officially working with the Texas Power Switch to help residents save money on their electric bills.

During these unprecedented times, many of us are facing economic challenges and are looking for ways to save money and lower our monthly expenses. The Texas Power Switch is a program that makes it easy to lower your electricity bills, especially as we enter the cold winter months.

The next round of the Texas Power Switch is underway! We are happy to announce that the electricity plans in this program will be 100% renewable.  So now you can save money with cleaner electricity.

Using the program, you will gain a deeper understanding of your electric bills and learn more about the complex, deregulated energy market. It's free to join, and there's no commitment involved. With more people signing up for Texas Power Switch, the program will have a better chance of scoring a low-cost deal.

What is the Texas Power Switch? 

The Texas Power Switch is a group energy buying program licensed with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (certificate number 80419). This program gives residents the opportunity to join together and get a lower rate on electricity by asking energy providers to bid on the group’s business.

There is no cost to the residents or the city for this service, nor does the city receive any compensation. This is a service exclusively designed to help residents save money.

There is no fee to participate or obligation to switch.
