Energy Star Portfolio Manager

If you need help setting up your ESPM account, view the EPA’s Quick Start Guide.

You will need the following account information to use this tool:

• TPU account number(s) you would like to track OR
• Meter number(s) for each meter’s consumption you want to track.

You can find your account information at MyTPU.org/MyAccount. If you don’t already have an account, you will need to create one.

Important: Before you start, fill out the intake form. Shortly after we receive the form, a TPU staff member will contact you with your custom meter ID, which you need to connect to ESPM. We may also reach out with follow-up questions before providing the custom meter ID. If you need additional assistance, please email myconsumption@tacoma.gov.

1. Log into your ESPM account. From the initial home screen, click on “Contacts” in the top right corner to navigate to the “My Contacts” page.
