National Energy Consulting established the Texas Aggregation for Political Subdivisions (TAPS), enabling political entities such as cities, counties, colleges and school districts to purchase and manage utilities with market transparency and a true competitive negotiation process. Similar aggregations in other deregulated states are forthcoming.

TAPS allows these entities, which have an inherit responsibility to their constituency, to strategically purchase their individual contracts while enjoying the benefits of aggregating loads. This affords members of TAPS the market intelligence and pricing transparency that before now was arguably non-existent. TAPS also satisfies the competitive bid requirement so the political subdivisions do not have to shoulder that responsibility. TAPS' commodity advisors continue to capture savings in the market when opportunities arise, further lowering costs for those members with contracts eligible for hedging and/or extensions. TAPS also provides these entities with energy management software required by the state, as well as Energy Star Partner status.
