Texas Electricity Plan Finderplan-comparison
For a Texas homeowner, find Texas retail electricity plans available in their ZIP code. Returns up to 6 plans ranked by effective rate at the user's monthly usage level, including retailer name, energy rate (¢/kWh), monthly bill estimate, contract term, base fee, ETF, renewable %, Google rating, and EFL link. Backed by Meter's broad-market plan index covering every major TDU (ONCOR, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, TNMP, Lubbock).

Texas TDU Lookup by ZIPdata-feed
Resolve any Texas residential ZIP code to its Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU): Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas Central, AEP Texas North, TNMP, or Lubbock Power & Light. Returns the canonical utility code, full display name, short name, and whether the ZIP is in a deregulated retail electric market. Backed by Light API's eligibility check (private API made public via this tool).

Texas ESI ID Lookup by Addressdata-feed
Find the Texas Electric Service Identifier (ESI ID) for any residential address. Required for solar enrollment, plan switching, Smart Meter Texas data access, and TDU coordination. Returns ESI ID, formatted address, serving utility (Oncor / CenterPoint / AEP / TNMP / LPPL), and a confidence indicator. Backed by Light API's address-search endpoint (private API made public via this tool).

Texas TDU Delivery Ratesdata-feed
Get current TDU delivery rates for one or all six Texas utilities (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas Central, AEP Texas North, TNMP, Lubbock Power & Light). Returns per-kWh delivery rate and fixed monthly base fee for each utility — these charges appear on every Texas electricity bill regardless of which retailer the customer chose. Backed by Light API rate sheets.

Texas Residential Load Profile (ERCOT)data-feed
Get the typical residential electricity load curve for any Texas weather zone — averaged from ERCOT's official residential load profiles, in 15-minute resolution. Returns hourly or monthly aggregated kWh by hour-of-day and month-of-year, peak demand, and annual total. Useful for solar designers, battery sizers, AI agents modeling 'what does a typical home in Houston use', and anyone building bill-projection or solar-savings tools without a real customer's meter data.

Plan Cost Calculatorplan-comparison
Low-level Texas electricity bill calculator. Computes the exact monthly and annual bill given a fully-specified plan rate sheet (energy rate, solar buyback, base fee, TDU delivery rate, TDU monthly fee) and a home's usage profile. For ZIP-based lookups that fetch plan rates and TDU charges automatically, use `quote-meter-plan`.

Smart Meter Texas Interval Datadata-feedexperimental
Pull 12 months of 15-minute interval electricity data from any Texas residential meter via Smart Meter Texas (SMT). Inputs: ESI ID + meter number + current retailer, OR a residential service address, OR an uploaded electricity bill PDF (Meter parses it for the ESI ID). Returns 15-minute imports + exports, monthly aggregates, and pre-formatted exports for Aurora Solar, OpenSolar, Solargraf, or standard CSV. Built for solar installers, energy advisors, and AI agents that need real customer usage data without a customer SMT login.

ERCOT Real-Time Wholesale Electricity Pricedata-feedexperimental
Get the current ERCOT real-time wholesale electricity price (LMP, locational marginal price) for any Texas load zone or settlement point. Useful for solar customers on real-time wholesale (RTW) buyback plans (Champion, Atlantex, Chariot, Tesla Drive Plan), traders following ERCOT spot markets, and agents reasoning about when to charge / discharge a battery. Returns $/MWh and ¢/kWh equivalents per zone.
