  • How can I stay cool and safe during extreme temperatures?

    As summer continues to heat up, keeping cool isn't just about comfort. It's important to take care during extreme heat conditions. Here are a few tips:

      Stay hydrated by drinking more water than usual and don't wait until you're thirsty.
    • Stay cool by wearing loose-fitting, light-colored clothing and avoiding direct sunlight.
    • Stay informed by checking the weather to prepare for your day and know the signs of heat-related illness.
  • Will there be any hidden charges on my bill?

    Absolutely not. TriEagle Energy’s invoice is designed to be easy to read. Your normal monthly invoice will have your usage, your $4.95 base charge, your PUC and GRT taxes, and that’s it (If you elect to have a special switch or move in, your first bill will have the charge associated with that service as well). Your previous provider may have charged you TDSP pass through charges, which vary from month to month, but with TriEagle, these are bundled into our rates. This can only change to incorporate changes in regulated charges or law and as may otherwise be permitted by the Public Utility Commission of Texas rules.
    SPECIAL NOTE FOR CUSTOMERS SIGNED OR RENEWING WITH US PRIOR TO SEPT 1, 2012: The Public Utility Commission of Texas has authorized your local “wires” company, ONCOR, CenterPoint, AEP, and TNMP to significantly increase the Transmission Cost Recovery Factor that they charge you to service your meter beginning September 1, 2012. The increase in these charges are in line item “TDU Delivery Charges.”

  • Can I pay my bill online?

    Yes! TriEagle Energy offers online bill payment option. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and ACH. You may register for online account and bill pay access here. You may also sign up for Reoccurring Auto Debit by choosing this option in your online bill pay account. There is no fee for making payments online.

  • Why do I see several different rates for energy on the same product? Will I be charged a different amount if I use more/less energy?

    The EFL contains average prices for energy, as well as your energy rate. No matter how much energy you use, you will always be charged your energy rate for each individual kilowatt hour (kWh). However, the average price for service changes because of your monthly fee:
    500 kWh x 10 cents (energy rate) = $50.00 (usage charge)
    $50.00 (usage charge) + $4.95 (monthly fee) = $54.95
    If you pay $54.95 for 500 kWh, each kWh effectively cost 10.99 cents ($54.95 / 500)
    1000 kWh x 10 cents (energy rate) = $100.00 (usage charge)
    $100.00 (usage charge) + $4.95 (monthly fee) = $104.95
    If you pay $104.95 for 1000 kWh, each kWh effectively cost 10.50 cents ($104.95 / 1000)
    Note that in both examples, the energy price for each individual kWh was the same, it was the average price of service (which includes your usage AND your monthly fee) that varied.

  • What is the difference between a standard switch and a self-selected switch?

    By selecting "I want to choose my switch date," you are self-selecting your switch. A self-selected switch allows you to choose the date on which your switch will take place. Normally, your switch will happen in the next 1-7 business days. With a self-selected switch, you can choose any business day between 5 and 90 calendar days ahead. A self-selected switch will result in an additional charge from your TDSP, which will be reflected on your first invoice from TriEagle Energy.

  • What is a web code, and where can I get one?

    Web codes are used for marketing purposes by TriEagle Energy, its partners and referrals from our customers. If you’d like to use a web code for your signup, enter “EAGLE” without the quotes.

  • What taxes will I be charged on my invoice, and how much will they be?

    The only taxes a residential customer is required to pay are the PUC Assessment, and the Gross Receipts Tax reimbursement. As of this writing, the Gross Receipt tax is 0.01997% of the energy charge plus the monthly charge, and the PUC Assessment is .00167% of the energy charge plus the monthly base charge.

  • How do I get my account number once I have completed my signup?

    You will receive your account number with your first bill or via text if you enrolled with a valid mobile number.

  • What is deregulation?

    In the past, one company provided all parts of your electric service (generation, transmission and distribution, and retail sales). With competition, these parts are separated. Generation, or production of electricity, has already been deregulated, resulting in an ample supply of new, cleaner and efficient power plants throughout Texas.

    The actual delivery of electricity across poles and wires to your home or business is called transmission and distribution. These services are provided to you by the local wires company, which is responsible for maintaining the poles and wires, and responding to emergencies and power outages as always. The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) continues to regulate the delivery of electricity to ensure the safety and reliability of your electric service. With electric competition, Retail Electric Providers (REP’s) sell electricity to you and provide functions such as customer service and billing. It is important to note that no matter which REP provides service, the PUCT continues to enforce customer protections and regulate the delivery of electricity to ensure it is delivered safely and reliably by the local wires company.

  • Do all Texans choose their electricity provider?

    Most Texans have the choice, but those served by some electric cooperatives (also called co-ops) and some municipal electric utilities do not. To check if you are eligible to switch to TriEagle, click here

  • What are the benefits to you?

    Texas’ electric rates per kilowatt-hour are about average, compared to the rest of the country, but our usage is among the highest in the nation due to demand for air conditioning during the long, hot summer season. Competition in other industries has often brought lower prices and innovative, new products and services. Having more control over your buying decision should make it easier to determine what matters most to you, whether it’s prices, renewable energy, customer service, or a company you trust.

  • What is the Electricity Facts Label or (EFL)?

    The Electricity Facts Label is part of your Terms of Service Agreement. All electricity companies are required to provide this. You can view energy rates, fees, and renewable energy content regarding your electricity plan.

  • What is a kilowatt-hour or kWh?

    A kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of measurement for electric energy. Most electric rates are priced by the kWh.

  • Why should I choose TriEagle Energy, LP as my REP?

    TriEagle Energy, LP is the company to choose because we are unlike any other Retail Electric Provider in Texas or the nation. Other electric utilities are generally burdened by existing cost structures developed under regulated market conditions, such as expensive downtown facilities, elaborate and inefficient customer service and billing systems, and expensive marketing campaigns.

    TriEagle Energy is a low-cost / high-value provider. We continuously strive to be more efficient and effective through vigorously monitoring our costs, creating innovative processes, and delivering competitively priced energy and useful value add solutions to you.

  • What will stay the same?
