Direct Energy Business works closely with your local utility or supplier to coordinate the date you begin service with us and when service ends with your utility or supplier. This ensures that you have no disruption in service as you move from one service provider to another.

    For businesses with facilities that are sized 10,000 square feet or less: contact us at 1-888-782-2558 for Texas customers or 1-888-782-6888 for Northeast and Midwest customers.
