State of Texas COVID-19 Electricity Relief Program (Apply Now – Enrollment Ends August 31)
If you or someone you know has recently filed for unemployment, they may qualify for the state’s electricity relief program that will help keep their power on. Apply online or call the Texas Lifeline 24/7 at (866) 454-8387 before August 31. If you're the primary account holder and receive SNAP or Medicaid, you’re automatically enrolled and do not need to apply.
The state of Texas has partnered with SOLIX to process all relief fund applications through the Texas Lifeline. If you call, you may experience long call wait times as agents work to serve all Texans in need of assistance. For more information, please see FAQs below.
Payment Flexibility
Please contact us at (877) 282-6248 if you need more time to pay. We can work with you on a deferred payment plan. With a one-time down payment, you can spread your remaining balance over the next five months. As always, you can check your account and pay your bill anytime in MyAmbit Account.
Payment Assistance
If you or someone you know needs bill payment assistance, additional support is available by calling 2-1-1 or visiting 211texas.org and searching for ‘Electricity Bill Assistance’ to find programs in your area.

Independent Consultant COVID-19 Policy
As of March 18, 2020, we’ve directed all of our Independent Consultants in the U.S. and Canada to immediately halt all in-person marketing of the Ambit Opportunity to avoid unnecessary social contact. This includes performing any Business Presentations or in-person sales meetings at this time and remind you that not following emergency requirements can result in fines or even loss of the ability to sell electricity and/or natural gas. It’s critical that you also comply with any decrees or regulations enacted by national, state and local governments during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.
We are closely monitoring the various emergency rules, laws and regulations developing to address this unique health issue and will do our best to keep you informed.

- Powerful Resources - We continue to provide resources through PowerZone, Ambit U, the MyAmbitBusiness app, our social media channels and the Spark blog.
