Dickinson Electricity Rates and Companies

Your power to choose electricity in Dickinson

Dickinson has a deregulated energy market, giving locals the power to choose their electricity providers. This option offers more flexibility and freedom than a traditional energy market, where locals have to buy power from their utility company by default. If you’re shopping for a new energy plan in Dickinson, you can use Choose Texas Power’s marketplace to find affordable rates near you.

Choose Texas Power is not affiliated with Power to Choose, powertochoose.org, or the PUCT.

Average residential energy rate

Dickinson electricity rates vary depending on multiple factors, including how much power you use. Here are the latest energy rates in Dickinson (according to our marketplace data), based on monthly usage:

• At the 500 kWh level, the average rate in Dickinson is 22.6 cents per kWh
• At the 1,000 kWh level, the average rate in Dickinson is 13.5 cents per kWh
• At the 2,000 kWh level, the average rate in Dickinson is 17.1 cents per kWh

Rates also fluctuate with demand, time of year, and house size. Generally, prices are highest when the weather is most extreme — in other words, summer and winter. During these seasons, people run their HVAC systems around the clock, which drives up energy demand (and prices). Rates tend to be lower in spring and fall, when there’s less need for electricity.

CenterPoint Energy is Dickinson’s utility

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 Dickinson 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:

• Call 1-713-207-2222
• Report an outage online

CenterPoint Energy charges a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) fee for delivering electricity. Utility delivery charges include a monthly base charge and a usage charge per kilowatt-hour (kWh). CenterPoint Energy’s charges are $4.90/month and 6.0009 cents/kWh.

Types of Dickinson electric plans

As you browse our marketplace, you might come across several types of electricity plans, including fixed-rate and variable-rate options. Here’s an explanation of the most common types:

• Fixed-rate plans: With a fixed-rate plan, your electric rate remains consistent for your entire contract term (typically 12 to 36 months). Your monthly bills will be more predictable, which helps with budgeting. If you cancel before the contract ends, your provider may charge an early termination fee (ETF).
• Variable-rate plans: Rates on these plans can vary month to month depending on the wholesale cost of electricity. Variable plans don’t require a long-term contract, so you have flexibility, but monthly bills are less predictable.
• No-deposit plans: If you have limited credit history or prefer not to pay a security deposit, look for no-deposit options. One common no-deposit option is a prepaid plan, which lets you pay for electricity in advance and add funds as needed. In Dickinson, Payless Power offers prepaid plans.
• Time-of-use (TOU) plans: TOU plans charge different rates depending on the time of day. During low-demand periods (often late at night) you may get a lower rate, while rates can rise during peak hours. TOU plans work best if you can shift major energy use to off-peak times.

Understanding Dickinson electric rates

Even though providers may sell the same plans across Texas, posted rates can vary by city because of differences in utility transmission charges, local taxes, and other fees. That’s why your Dickinson electricity rate may differ from a neighbor in another town—even with the same plan and provider.
