Why Can't I Find My Address?
Learn why your address might not appear in our search results and what you can do about it.
If you can't find your address in our search tool, don't worry. There are several common reasons why this might happen, and we're here to help you understand your options.
You're Not in a Deregulated Area
Our service only covers addresses within ERCOT's deregulated market. If you live outside of Texas or in areas served by other grids, your address won't appear in our search.

You're Served by a Co-op or Municipality
Some electric cooperatives and municipal utilities don't participate in the deregulated market. These areas have their own electric providers and aren't open to competition.
Examples:
- Austin Energy
- CPS Energy (San Antonio)
- Various rural electric cooperatives
Contact your current provider →
Address Format Issues
Sometimes addresses need to be entered in a specific format to be found. Try different variations of your address.
Try these tips:
- Use abbreviations (St. instead of Street)
- Try with and without apartment/unit numbers
- Check spelling of street names
- Use ZIP code search instead
New Construction or Recently Changed Address
If your home is newly built or your address recently changed, it might not be in our database yet. You can find your ESIID on your current electric bill.

How to Find Your ESIID
Your Electric Service Identifier (ESIID) is a unique number assigned to your electric meter. Here's how to find it:
Locate Your Electric Bill
Find a recent electric bill from your current provider.
Look for Your ESIID
The ESIID is a 17 or 22-digit number usually found on the first or second page of your bill.
Common ESIID Locations
Look for sections labeled 'Account Information', 'Service Information', or 'Electric Service Identifier'.
