CenterPoint and Texas-New Mexico Power are Friendswood’s utilities

While you can choose your Friendswood electricity provider, you can’t select your own utility company, which delivers electricity to your home, maintains electrical infrastructure, and responds to power outages. Depending on your address in Friendswood, you may receive service from Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) or CenterPoint Energy. In the event of a power outage, be sure to reach out to your utility, not your electricity provider. Here’s how:

Types of Friendswood electric plans

Energy companies in Friendswood offer a variety of energy plans to suit different customers. Here are some of the most common options you’ll find on our marketplace:

  • Fixed-rate plans: A fixed-rate plan keeps your electricity rate the same for the duration of your contract. Most plans last for one to three years, so this offers long-term rate stability and predictability. However, if you want to switch providers without moving before your contract is over, you’ll likely have to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
  • Variable-rate plans: If you need more flexibility to change providers, consider a variable-rate plan. Your rate per kWh can vary each month based on the current energy market, but you can change at any time without incurring a fee. Note that your rates may increase due to fluctuations in the energy market, resulting in higher energy bills.
  • No-deposit plans: Many Friendswood electricity providers will require an initial deposit before beginning service. If you’d rather avoid this fee, you could choose a no-deposit plan or prepaid plan. These options let you pay for your energy upfront and top up your account as needed.

Understanding Friendswood electric rates

When looking for cheap electricity in Friendswood, your location is a major factor in what you’ll pay. Utility companies charge delivery fees based on where you live, so even if you have the same provider and plan as someone else in another city, your total rate could be different. For this reason, it’s important to use your ZIP code when shopping for a new plan.
