Utility company FAQs
Your utility company is listed on your energy bill. In many states, you’ll receive your energy bill from your utility, even if you selected an alternative supplier. In Texas, your energy bill comes from your energy provider, but your utility company is listed at the top.
Contact your utility company in the event of a power outage or gas leak, as it’s responsible for restoring service and maintaining the local infrastructure.
No, you can’t switch utility companies because it is determined by location. If you move to a new area, you may be assigned a new utility company.
