What makes TASB Energy Cooperative contracts different?
TASB Energy Cooperative built our contracts with members in mind. We have exclusive contract terms and benefits in place specifically for governmental entities. This includes:
- Compliance: We manage the bid process on your behalf and is designed to satisfy compliance with procurement laws and our billing and payment terms were built to comply with laws affecting governmental entities.

- Unlimited usage swing: We don’t penalize you with fees for exceeding or falling short of your projected usage on contracted meters.
- Unlimited add/deletes: Members can add or delete meters without penalty. Additionally, when adding meters, members receive the lower of the current energy price or their contract price.
