Difference between a utility company and energy provider

It’s important to understand the differences between energy providers and utility companies in deregulated markets. Electricity providers (also called retail electric providers or REPs) generate the power and sell it to customers in the form of energy plans. You can use the Choose Energy marketplace to compare available energy plans offered by providers in your area.

On the other hand, utility companies (like Texas-New Mexico Power) facilitate the delivery of power between the REP and the customer. At the same time, utilities also maintain power infrastructure in their service area and respond to outages when necessary. If you’re a Texas-New Mexico Power customer and experiencing an outage, make sure to contact TNMP (and not your electricity provider).

Providers available in Texas-New Mexico Power service area

Since Texas-New Mexico Power operates across diverse sections of the state, there are many electricity providers that do business within its service area. Availability will depend on your specific location, but you may be able to find electricity plans from reputable Texas providers like Express Energy, 4Change Energy, Pulse Power, and TXU Energy.

To help you find the right plan, Choose Energy offers an independent, unaffiliated marketplace that allows you to search and compare Texas-New Mexico Power electricity rates from various providers. In a few quick steps, you can find all-inclusive rates in your area and easily switch to another energy plan. As you search, you can filter the results to find a plan that’s tailored to your needs – whether you’re looking for green energy options, no-deposit plans, or the lowest rates available. 

To put it simply, our marketplace provides an easy way to evaluate your options and see if you can reduce your energy bills. We also offer provider and Texas-New Mexico Power reviews, so you know what to expect from your electricity service. If you’re tired of traditional energy plans, you can also learn about investing in solar energy.

What to do if there’s a Texas-New Mexico Power outage

Who to contact during a power outage

As we’ve mentioned, utility companies are responsible for restoring power during outages. So if you’re a Texas-New Mexico Power customer, you should call TNMP if your power goes out – not your energy provider.

Power outage safety tips

During a power outage, your safety should be your first priority. By preparing in advance, you’ll have the best chance of staying safe when you lose power. Here are some tips to help you get through your next power outage: 

  • Create an emergency kit. Take an hour to assemble an emergency kit for when the power goes out. Make sure it includes essentials like flashlights, water, nonperishable food, batteries, and a portable charger. 
  • Keep your appliances protected. Do a quick audit of your home and make sure that your appliances and electronics are plugged in using surge protectors. If you lose power, try to unplug all of these items (including TVs and laptops) before it comes back on.
  • Avoid opening your refrigerator or freezer. Unless it’s an emergency, you shouldn’t open your refrigerator or freezer. If you do, the cold air will escape, and your food will spoil quickly.
  • Contact your utility company. Get in touch with Texas-New Mexico Power to report the outage and get an estimate of when it will be restored.
