Find the ESI ID number for your home or business in seconds.

An ESI ID — pronounced “Easy I.D.” — is an Electric Service Identifier, a unique number assigned to every home or business with electricity in the state of Texas.  An ESI ID (also styled as ESIID, ESI-ID, or ESID) number identifies your electric service location (ie, where you get power).   Think of it like a social security number for homes and businesses.

Keep in mind, some addresses can have multiple ESI IDs — apartment complexes, for example — but each residential unit will still have a separate ESI ID.

An ESI ID — or Electric Service Identifier — is a unique 17 or 22-digit number assigned to every home and business in the United States.  An ESI ID number is automatically assigned to your home or business by your local utility or utility commission.

In Texas, ESI ID numbers are distributed by the Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT).

These unique numbers allow electricity companies to identity customer accounts and track energy usage.   When you signup with a new electric provider directly or through our website, you’ll be asked to provide your Electric Service Identifier (ESI ID) to verify your identity and to complete the signup process.
