Moving to the city of El Paso (79911, 79912, 79930, 79934, 79938, etc.) or surrounding Texan area and need to start electricity service?
Considering El Paso Electric Company is the area´s dominant power enitiy, it may still be best to ensure EPE covers your new home. So to get started, connect with EPE customer service (number is listed below) to find out whether they provide service to your address. If by chance EPE does not serve your location, continue down the list we have below of the other major Transmission & Distribution Utilities present (in order: from west Texas going east) until you find the utility that serves your home.
- El Paso Electric Co. customer service: (Texas) 915-543-5970 / (New Mexico) 575-526-5555
- Oncor Electric Delivery's customer service: 888-313-6862 [Closest office- Pecos, TX- 209 mi. east of El Paso]
- Texas New Mexico Power's cust. service: 888-866-7456 [Closest office- Odessa, TX- 283 mi. east of El Paso]
- AEP Texas North's customer service: 877-373-4858 [Closest office- McCamey, TX- 285 mi. east of El Paso]
If you have found that EPE Co. is not your utility and it´s one of the other three (deregulated) utilities from the list above, then the only other step is to decide which Retail Energy Provider (REP) to go with! Feel free to browse the Full List of Retail Electric Providers in Texas. Once decided, starting service is pretty straightforward. To open an account in your name you will simply need to call your favorite REP and provide:
- Your exact address (including your street address, unit number, city/town, and zip code)
- Your full name and contact information (phone number, email, address)
- The date you require service (in other words, the date you move in)
Many REPs require a security deposit to activate accounts for new customers, so you may also be asked for your Social Security Number (SSN) in order for the provider to perform a credit check.
Outage and Customer service contact
Your local electric utility is responsible for responding to electric disruption and problems of electric matter. Call their outage number if your power goes out unexpectedly, or if you witness a dangerous situation involving power lines (a tree branch too close to a electric line). In most cases, for all other concerns, including questions about your bill, payment, or any other issue, call their customer service number.
For one-on-one help in creating an account, you can visit the closest store (*walk-ins and opening hours may differ due to COVID-19 restrictions, so calling before making the trip is highly recommended):
