Spruce Power login and bill payment basics
Spruce Power is a retail electric supplier in Texas that buys power on your behalf and handles billing. To pay your bill or check your account, you log in through their customer portal at sprucepower.com. The login page is at the top of their website — look for "Customer Login" or "My Account".
You will need your account number and password to log in. Your account number appears on your Spruce Power bill, usually near the top left. If you do not have a password yet, the login page has a "Forgot Password" or "Create Account" link that walks you through setting one up.
Once logged in, you can view your current bill, see your payment history, update your contact information, and make a one-time payment or set up automatic payments. The portal also shows your usage history, which helps you understand what is driving your charges.

Step-by-step login process
Go to sprucepower.com and locate the "Customer Login" button, usually in the top right corner or under a "My Account" section. Click it to reach the login screen.
Enter your account number in the first field. This is the number Spruce Power assigned to you when you signed up — it appears on every bill. Then enter your password. If you have never logged in before, click "Create Account" or "Register" instead, and follow the prompts to set up your password.
After you log in, you will see your account dashboard. This page shows your current balance, due date, and recent activity. From here, you can navigate to pay your bill, view detailed charges, or change your account settings.
How to pay your Spruce Power bill online
Once you are logged into your account, look for a "Pay Bill" or "Make a Payment" button on your dashboard. Click it to start the payment process.
You will be asked to choose a payment method. Spruce Power typically accepts bank account payments (ACH transfer) and credit or debit card payments. Bank transfers usually have no fee and process within one to two business days. Card payments may carry a small processing fee and post faster, sometimes the same day.
Enter the amount you want to pay. You can pay your full bill, a partial amount, or more than you owe. Select your payment date — you can usually pay immediately or schedule a payment for a future date, as long as it is before your due date. Review the details and confirm the payment.
You will receive a confirmation number on screen and by email. Keep this number for your records. The payment will show in your account history once it processes.
Setting up automatic payments
Automatic payments remove the risk of missing a due date. In your online account, look for "Autopay," "Automatic Payments," or "Recurring Payments" — the exact name varies. Click it to set up a recurring payment.
Choose your payment method (bank account or card), the amount you want to pay each month, and the date the payment should process. Most customers choose to pay on the same date their bill is due, or a few days before. You can change or cancel automatic payments at any time through your account.
Automatic payments are especially useful if your bill varies month to month, because you can set it to pay your full balance automatically without having to log in each time.
Guest payment option if you do not have an account
If you do not have a Spruce Power online account or do not want to create one, you can still pay your bill as a guest. On the sprucepower.com homepage, look for a "Guest Payment" or "Pay Without Logging In" link, usually near the customer login button.
Click it and enter your account number and the amount due. You will be asked for a payment method and will receive a confirmation number. Guest payments work the same way as logged-in payments, but you will not be able to see your payment history or account details unless you create an account later.
Troubleshooting common login and payment issues
Forgotten password: Click "Forgot Password" on the login page. Enter your account number and email address. Spruce Power will send you a link to reset your password. Check your spam folder if you do not see the email within a few minutes.
Cannot find your account number: Look at a recent Spruce Power bill — the account number is usually printed near the top. If you do not have a bill, contact Spruce Power customer service at the number on their website. Have your name, address, and phone number ready.
Payment declined: This usually means the card or bank account information is incorrect or expired. Try a different payment method, or contact your bank to confirm the account is active and has sufficient funds. If the problem persists, call Spruce Power customer service.
Payment not showing in your account: Payments take time to process. Bank transfers typically appear within one to two business days; card payments may post the same day or next day. If your payment was scheduled for a future date, it will not show as processed until that date arrives.
What to do if you cannot log in or pay online
If the website is down or you are having technical problems, you can pay by phone or mail. Spruce Power's customer service number is on your bill. Have your account number and payment method ready.
You can also mail a check or money order to the address listed on your bill. Include your account number on the check so Spruce Power knows which account to credit. Mail payments take longer to process than online payments, so send them at least a week before your due date.
If you are having repeated trouble with the online portal, contact Spruce Power customer service. They can help you reset your account, troubleshoot technical issues, or process a payment over the phone.
