CenterPoint Energy: Alvin’s utility company

While you can choose your electricity provider in a deregulated market, your utility company is determined by your address and cannot be changed. Utilities deliver electricity, maintain power lines, and restore service during power outages. The utility company for Alvin is CenterPoint Energy. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact CenterPoint Energy:

CenterPoint Energy charges a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) fee for delivering electricity, which is standard for all Texas utility companies. Your utility delivery charges are twofold: a monthly base charge and a usage charge per kilowatt-hour (kWh). CenterPoint Energy’s charges are $4.90/month and 5.7889 cents/kWh.

Types of Alvin electric plans

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

  • Fixed-rate plans: When you choose a fixed-rate plan, your electricity rate remains the same for the length of your contract — usually between 12 and 36 months. If you cancel your plan before it expires, you might have to pay an early termination fee (ETF). These plans are ideal for homeowners looking for long-term stability.
  • Variable-rate plans: These electricity plans don’t offer a set rate or require a contract. Instead, your electricity rate will increase or decrease based on the wholesale price of electricity. The benefit? There are no penalties for canceling or changing a variable-rate plan. If you’re a renter or you move frequently, a variable-rate plan might be a good choice.
  • No-deposit plans: Before you begin service, many providers require a deposit. If you’d rather avoid the upfront cost and accompanying credit check, consider a no-deposit electricity plan, such as a prepaid plan. With this arrangement, you’ll pay for your electricity in advance and refill your balance as needed.
  • Time-of-use plans: A time-of-use (TOU) plan contains rates that fluctuate based on electricity demand. During times of low demand, such as late at night, you can enjoy a decreased rate. However, your rate may increase during peak hours, like mornings and afternoons. This plan could be advantageous if you are comfortable shifting your usage to capture lower rates during off-peak hours.

Understanding Alvin electric rates

Electricity prices in Texas vary by location because of differences in utility transmission fees, local taxes, and other charges. This means your Alvin electricity rate may differ from someone in a nearby city, even if you have the same plan and provider. That’s why it’s important to consider your specific location when choosing a new energy plan.

Green energy plans

Texas is a leading producer of green energy, ranking first in wind energy generation and second in solar energy generation nationwide. Many residents opt for renewable energy plans to reduce their environmental impact.

Every electricity plan sold in the Lone Star State includes at least some green energy. Each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) states how much power comes from renewable sources.

If you’re committed to going green, look for green energy rates from providers specializing in 100% renewable energy plans. In Alvin, these companies include Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy.
