# MeterWhale: every Texas business meter over 50 kW, matched to a checked phone

MeterWhale sells prospect lists to Texas commercial energy brokers. Each prospect is an active business electric meter of 50 kW or more in ERCOT's public meter file, matched to the business at its address, with a phone we have checked: on the business's own website, line type, carrier, and known TCPA litigators. You pay per prospect from prepaid credits, with no subscription. https://meterwhale.com/

## How well the matching works

In a test on 4,594 meters in TNMP's area, we found a phone for 2,509 of them (55%). In our sample for ZIP 77002, all 10 prospects had a phone confirmed on the business's own website.

## Prices

- Medium meter, one business at the address: $1.50 per prospect
- Medium meter, shared address: $0.75

- What if a phone is wrong? Tell us and we credit that prospect back.
- Which areas are covered? Business meters of 50 kW or more in ERCOT's meter file: Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas Central and North, TNMP, Lubbock and Nueces.
