As a public power utility, Austin Energy's commitment is to the community. We are a not-for-profit, so everything we do — from providing reliable power to offering award-winning customer assistance programs — is to support those we serve. Public power works because it is built around providing meaningful value. Find out more about what that value means to you.

The energy choices you make every day can have a real impact on Austin’s future. Whether you choose renewable energy or participate in a demand response program, your actions help keep Austin’s electric grid cleaner, stronger and more reliable for the entire community.

Thinking about going solar? Austin Energy is helping homeowners make the switch to renewable energy with an increased home solar rebate of $4,000 for eligible projects.

Austin Energy has increased incentives for customers who enroll their smart thermostats in the Power Partner program. These new rewards make it easier to save energy, stay comfortable and support a more reliable grid all summer.
