Transmission and Distribution Utilities (TDU) set the non-demand and demand classifications of each meter. That classification is based on the peak amount of electricity used at any given point during the month, also known as demand. Non-demand meters have a demand that’s less than or equal to 10 KW while demand meters have a demand that’s greater than 10 KW. Customers can identify the demand of their meter by viewing their current bill or contacting their TDU. TDU Pass-Through charges for delivering electricity will be passed through to the customers without markup. For demand meters, the average price per kWh is based on an estimated peak demand assuming a 30% load factor.

An energy supplier is a company that acquires its electricity, renewable energy or natural gas supplies from the wholesale market and is licensed to sell it retail to homes and business. Wholesale energy supply sources include much of the same source that the utility will use, such as electricity generators or the open market. An energy supplier is not your local utility. The utility still operates the local distribution wires and pipes which carry electricity and natural gas through its territory and to homes or businesses. An energy supplier purchases and supplies energy, the local utility, delivers the energy to your home.
A Retail Electric Provider is a company that acquires its electricity supplies from the wholesale market and sells it retail to homes and businesses. Wholesale energy supply sources include much of the same source that the utility will use, such as electricity generators or the open market. A Retail Electric Provider is not your local utility.

Retail Electric Providers purchase and supply power, which the local utility delivers to your home.
Also known as a utility company, the TDSP transmits and delivers the electricity to your homes or business for its service area along the poles and wires, but does not sell electric utilities.

The TDSP also reads the meters for your area and delivers those meter readings to the Retail Electric Provider (REP) of your choice. XOOM Energy supplies electricity throughout the following TDSPs in Texas including AEP Texas Central and North, Oncor, CenterPoint and Texas-New Mexico territories to its electricity customers.

Energy choice has been around for more than two decades in certain states and is designed to ensure consumers have access to adequate and competitively priced energy supplies.

A fixed price plan provides you with stability and peace of mind. A fixed-price product may be higher or lower than utility rates, but, unlike utility rates, a fixed-price product will not change during the life of your contract. You are protected against unexpected and costly price increases and have greater control over the cost of your energy. Unlike a fixed price plan, a variable price plan fluctuates monthly and does not protect you against price volatility. This may be higher or lower than the utility rate.

Average Billing helps you manage your monthly electricity budget by allowing you to pay an averaged amount every month instead of paying high amounts during high-usage months and paying low amounts in low-usage months.How is the Average Billing amount determined?• We add up your monthly bills for 12 months, if available• We then take that total and divide the amount by 12 or by the total months available for your service address.*• Finally, we add or subtract 1/12 of your deferred balance. What is a deferred balance?The deferred balance amount is the cumulative difference between your monthly Average Billing amount and what you would owe if you were not signed up for Average Billing. The deferred balance amount can be found on your monthly bill. If the bill amount is positive, 1/12 will be added to your bill. If the bill amount is negative, 1/12 will be subtracted from your bill. If you’re a new Average Billing customer, the deferred balance will begin in the second month. The deferred balance must be paid in full if you cancel Average Billing or change electricity providers. What happens after cancelling Average Billing?If you remain with XOOM Energy, your accumulated deferred balance will become due in full on your next invoice or payment arrangements can be made. If you leave XOOM Energy, your accumulated deferred balance will become due in full immediately. If you have a credit due, that amount will be applied to your final bill with any remaining amount refunded afterward.

A Switch Hold can be placed on a premise by either a Retail Energy Provider (REP) (with customer’s consent) for an outstanding bill or by the Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP, or utility company) due to meter tampering. The purpose of a Switch Hold is to ensure that the occupant responsible for paying the bills at that location takes care of any/all outstanding charges before switching to a new REP. The Switch Hold remains in effect until payment of the specified charges.An electric meter will have a switch hold for one of the following reasons:If your local transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) has determined that electric meter tampering or theft of electric service has occurred at the premise. The current electric customer of record will be notified, usually via door hanger, that a switch hold has been placed by the TDSP.OrIf you entered into a deferred payment plan with your retail electric provider (REP) and part of the agreement was to have a switch hold placed on the electric meter until the terms of the deferred payment plan have been satisfied. The REP is required to notify you that a switch hold will be applied before you agree to the terms of the deferred payment plan.
If you are applying for new service at a premise/address with a Switch Hold and are not associated with the current customer at that premise/address, you will be required to complete and return to XOOM Energy a New Occupant Statement along with one of the following:A.

This information will also be made available to the current retail electric provider for the premise, who will have an opportunity to submit additional information to the TDSP to aid in their determination that this is a legitimate new move-in by an occupant not associated with the preceding tenant. This process may result in a delay in processing your move-in request of up to 1 to 2 business days from the time we receive your documentation. We apologize for the inconvenience.
