How MeterMentor Works
MeterMentor analyzes your actual electricity usage and current contract details to estimate whether switching plans is likely to save you money.
Share Your Usage Data
Accurate recommendations start with real usage data. For launch, MeterMentor supports:
- Original Smart Meter Texas exports - Upload the original CSV export for the easiest supported path.
- Green Button XML files - Upload your original XML export if you have one.
- Email forwarding - If your workflow includes Smart Meter Texas usage report emails, you can forward those into MeterMentor instead of uploading manually.
We use 12 months of data when available to account for seasonal variations in your electricity usage.
MeterMentor Ranks Your Top Recommendations
We compare available plans in your service area and estimate your likely cost based on:
- Your monthly usage patterns
- Time-of-use variations (if applicable)
- Base charges and fixed fees
- Tiered pricing structures
- Usage credits and bill credits
- TDU delivery charges for your area
Unlike simple rate tables, we use your actual usage history to estimate your likely cost under each plan.
Compare, Save, and Switch
Review your personalized recommendations and make an informed decision:
- See estimated monthly and annual costs
- Compare likely savings vs. your current plan
- Review contract length, renewable percentage, and plan details
- Save plans for later comparison
- Use provider links to review terms and sign up directly if you choose
Ongoing Monitoring and Follow-Up
MeterMentor can continue helping after analysis with launch-supported reminders and follow-up features:
- Contract renewal reminders - We'll email you before your contract ends so you have time to review your options.
- Saved results and follow-up - Save your result by email so you can revisit it and receive launch-supported reminder updates.
- Usage-based analysis - Re-run your analysis later as your contract terms or market options change.
