Shop plans against your actual usage

Bring your own meter. We'll bring the plans. No account, no authorization, no enrollment. Your usage file stays in your browser — it is never uploaded, stored, or transmitted to PowerToFail or anywhere else.

Log in at smartmetertexas.com, go to Data → Usage → Export, and download IntervalData.csv. It contains 13 months of 15-minute readings for your meter. That file is all we need.
