In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact CenterPoint Energy:

Types of Alvin electric plans

You can choose from several types of electricity plans in Alvin. The most common options include:

  • Fixed-rate plans: Your rate stays the same for the full contract term, usually between 12 and 36 months. These plans offer price stability but may include an Early Termination Fee (ETF) if you cancel early.
  • Variable-rate plans: Your rate changes month to month based on market prices and doesn’t require a long-term contract. Variable-rate plans offer flexibility but less predictable monthly bills.
  • No-deposit plans: Start service without an upfront deposit or credit check. One type is a prepaid energy plan, through which you pay for electricity in advance and add funds as needed.
  • Time-of-use (TOU) plans: TOU plans contain rates that fluctuate based on electricity demand. During times of low demand, such as late at night, you can enjoy a decreased rate; rates may increase during peak hours. TOU plans can be advantageous if you are comfortable shifting usage to off-peak hours.

Understanding Alvin electric rates

This means your Alvin electricity rate may differ from someone in a nearby city, even if you have the same plan and provider.
