Discount Power is a retail electricity provider. If you live in a deregulated area, you can shop for your own electricity plans with suppliers like us to find the right rate and plan for you.
Your local utility is responsible for transmitting, connecting and disconnecting electricity to your home and reading and maintaining your home's electric meter. The utility also maintains the lines and other equipment used to transmit electricity to your home.
The local utility assigned to your service area maintains all the poles, wires and lines that transmit electricity to your home. To report a power outage, please contact your local utility company.

Signing up is quick and easy with our online enrollment.
If you're starting service at a new location, your service can begin within 1 to 3 business days after you sign up. If you're switching from another provider, your service with us will begin in less than 10 business days after you sign up. You may be required to satisfy certain requirements, such as paying a deposit or providing valid ID, which could delay your start date. You are also able to select a specific start date for your electricity service to begin with Discount Power, if preferred.
Switching your retail electric provider will not interrupt your service. Your current local wires company will still deliver your electricity as it does today, with the same power lines and service trucks.
You won't have an early termination fee if you are on our variable-price, month-to-month plan. If you are on one of our fixed-price, term plans, we buy electricity to serve your account before you use it; therefore, if you terminate your contract early a cancellation fee may apply.
We accept payment by check, bank draft or credit card. You can also set up your automatic payment by credit card or bank draft. We accept MasterCard, Visa and Discover.
You will be notified during online enrollment if a deposit is required. If one is required, it was assessed based on your credit score. One may also have been assessed if we were unable to identify you with the credit bureau. Using your social security number is the easiest form of identification.
If it has been determined that a deposit is required for your account, your enrollment will be placed on hold until your deposit requirement is met. You can pay your deposit during online enrollment, through our online account manager, or by calling us at 1-877-455-4674 Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm CST. If you qualify for LITE-UP, the low income telephone and electric utilities program, your deposit can be paid in two (2) installments. Please contact us for additional information by phone or email at service@discountpowertx.com.
You can start electric service with Discount Power on the same day in most occasions. You can also select a move-in date up to 60 days out in the future when you are planning your move.
We will let you know if a refundable deposit is required during the signup process. If so, you’ll need to satisfy the deposit requirement before your service can begin.
No. Your new address information will automatically show up when you log in to your account at Account Log On.
No. Your stop and start dates do not have to be the same, but we do recommend that you make sure that you always have electricity service at one location and not have any gaps in service.
You will still need to submit an enrollment so that we can establish service in your name. Otherwise, the electricity can be turned off at any time based on the previous tenants move-out request, and you may be without power.
