Thank you for choosing Discount Power Energy as your retail electricity provider. To process your request for electricity service at your new address, your Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) requires us to confirm that you are a new occupant. 

Please note that your request will remain on hold until we receive the valid required documents. If the documents are approved by the market participant, the Switch Hold will be removed.

Please select the option that most accurately reflects your current circumstance from the options provided below.

The New Occupant form confirms that you are new to the address where you would like to start new service.
