Texas-New Mexico Power
Texas-New Mexico Power serves three separate areas: towns north of Dallas, the coast between Houston and Galveston, and Far West Texas. If TNMP delivers your power, you still choose who sells it.
Watch: who TNMP is, what it charges and who to call in an outage (43 seconds, captioned).

TNMP delivery charges
TNMP's delivery charges are the same no matter which provider you choose. Your provider passes them through on your bill, and plan prices on PowerChoiceTexas.org already include them.
| Residential charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| Monthly customer charge | $7.56 per month |
| Delivery charge per kWh | 7.771¢ per kWh |
| Total on a 1,000 kWh month | $85.27 |
Residential rates effective Sep 13, 2026. Interim rates until the PUCT issues a final order in TNMP's rate case. Texas utilities' delivery rates usually change in March and September.
Power outages
Report a TNMP outage
Contact TNMP, not your electricity provider. TNMP owns the poles, wires and meters, so it's the one that restores your power. Check your breakers first: if only your home is dark, the problem may be inside.

How to save on electricity in TNMP's area
TNMP's delivery charges are the same with every provider, so your savings come from the plan you pick and how much power you use.
- Compare plans at your usage. Every plan's Electricity Facts Label (EFL) shows an average price at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, and that price already includes TNMP's delivery charges. Compare at the usage closest to yours.
- Check for bill credits and usage fees. A plan with a bill credit at exactly 1,000 kWh can cost much more in a month when you use 990 or 1,800 kWh.
- Choose fixed or variable on purpose. A fixed-rate plan holds your price for the contract term. A variable-rate plan can change every month.
- Watch your contract end date. Renew or switch before it ends, so you don't roll onto a higher month-to-month rate.
- Use less in summer peaks. Raising your thermostat a few degrees and sealing leaks around doors and windows cuts the biggest part of most Texas bills.
