Powering Texas homes since 2011 · No credit check · No deposit · No SSN required · Serving 100+ Texas cities

Who this is for

Moving in today or tomorrow and the home has no power in your name.
Your service was disconnected and you need the lights back on now.
Your current provider wants a deposit you can’t pay today, or wants several business days.
You were told no because of credit — Now Power doesn’t run a credit check.

How same-day electricity works in Texas

Texas is deregulated, so your retail provider (Now Power) handles your account while your local TDU — Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas or TNMP — physically energizes the meter. Because nearly every Texas home now has a smart meter, that is a remote command rather than a truck roll. That is what makes same-day service possible.

What actually determines your timing is when your enrollment and first payment are complete. Finish before 5 PM and expedited same-day activation is available. After the cutoff you are scheduled for the next activation day. Activation runs Monday through Saturday, excluding national holidays.
