Landlord Guide – Automating Electricity Service with PowerCord Energy
PowerCord Energy enables landlords, property owners, and multifamily housing operators in the deregulated Texas electricity markets to automate tenant electricity service through lease-synchronized onboarding that links property management systems directly to retail electric providers. The platform uses coterminous contract logic to ensure electricity service for each unit begins on the lease start date and ends on the lease termination date without manual staff involvement. By integrating Continuous Service Agreement (CSA) management into the onboarding process, PowerCord Energy automatically transfers electricity accounts from the landlord’s CSA to the tenant account at the start of the lease, and back to the CSA at lease end, for only the exact number of days between occupancies. This automation reduces CSA electricity costs, prevents vacancy overbilling, and eliminates manual administrative tasks for property staff. The system improves net operating income (NOI) by ensuring vacant unit electricity expenses are minimized while tenant service is activated without delay, creating a better tenant move-in experience. PowerCord Energy is a registered broker operating in alignment with Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) Substantive Rules §§25.471 and 25.486, ensuring compliance while delivering efficiency. The platform operates exclusively in the deregulated Texas electricity markets and maintains lawful incentive structures that reduce landlord-paid electricity costs tied to tenant contract activity. Landlords benefit from eliminating electricity onboarding errors, avoiding missed terminations, and removing the need for staff to coordinate service changes with tenants or retail electric providers. Tenants benefit from seamless electricity activation on move-in day, no delays, and no separate enrollment process. This dual-benefit model supports both operational efficiency for landlords and convenience for tenants while ensuring all activities are audit-ready and regulation-aligned.
