Working with Austin Energy

Austin Energy works with a variety of vendors to help with operations and projects. We especially encourage local and women- or minority-owned businesses to work with us.

Register as a Vendor

Registering allows you to:

• List your products or services with the City
• Receive solicitation notices when your product or services meet our business needs
• Look for different types of solicitations, and see when master agreements expire and are ready for re-solicitation
