Texas ESID Lookup

Your ESID Number, or Electric Service Identifier, is a number that is unique to your property address. Pronounced “Easy I.D.” it’s also known as an ESIID, ESI ID or ESI-ID. You can’t find your Texas meter number or ESID on your actual physical meter. But you can find it using our free ERCOT ESID Lookup Tool.

This ESID Lookup tool includes residential and business meters. Our data is updated each day, directly from the ERCOT database.

What Does the ESID Number Mean?

Each ESID Number is unique to a meter location.

Each delivery company has a different number sequence. For example, when you do an ESID Lookup for an address in Oncor, it will begin with 1044. When you do a lookup for an address in Centerpoint, the ESID will begin with 10089.

The rest of the number in the ESID is unique to your home or business meter.

Frequently Asked Questions – ESID Lookup

The ESID Lookup said “No Address Found.” What’s that mean?

Our lookup returns active ESIDs in CenterPoint, Oncor, AEP Central, AEP North, and TNMP.
If you are unable to find your address and/or ESID, it’s likely because the address is a new construction. For new construction locations, contact the local utility company to schedule a new meter set. Your new meter number will be added to our database within 24 hours of the meter set.
You will have a construction meter, or temporary meter. Once construction is complete you can transfer service to the permanent meter.

The ESID Lookup said “Meter Inactive.” What’s that mean?

The ESID Lookup checks the ERCOT database to find active ESIDs in CenterPoint, Oncor, AEP Central, AEP North, and TNMP. If your meter is inactive, it means the utility company has retired the ESID. You’ll need to contact the utility company to have a new ESID assigned. You may also need a city inspection on your property to get the meter energized.
