El Paso's one-provider-per-utility lineup makes this the shortest checklist in Texas.
El Paso sits outside the ERCOT grid, so Texas's retail-choice market doesn't reach it. El Paso Electric served every address in our sampling. You sign up with the utility directly, and there's no plan comparison step.
Yes. El Paso Water came back as both the water and sewer provider at every sampled address, so one account covers both sides of the drain.
Texas Gas Service came back as the gas provider at every address we sampled, and it's its own account. Separate from El Paso Electric and separate from El Paso Water. That matters more than newcomers expect: El Paso sits at high desert elevation, and winter nights get genuinely cold, so gas furnaces and water heaters are common here. If you're moving in the cooler months, set up gas alongside the other two. The lookup shows what your specific address needs.
El Paso Electric is El Paso's electric answer. It led 100% of the El Paso addresses we checked.
