CenterPoint Energy: Galveston’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 Galveston 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 Galveston electric plans

Not all electricity plans are the same. When you shop for energy companies in Galveston, you’ll have the option to choose between a few different types of plans. Some of the most common options include:

  • Fixed-rate plans: You pay a fixed price per kWh for your entire contract, and your rate won’t change from one month to the next. Fixed-rate plans usually have contracts ranging from 12–36 months. You may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your contract early.
  • Variable-rate plans: With this type of plan, your rate in any given month depends on the wholesale cost of power in the energy market. You’ll notice your rate increasing in some months and decreasing in others thanks to fluctuations in weather and energy demand. Because there’s no contract, there are no ETFs, and you can switch to another plan at any time.
  • No-deposit plans: When you sign up for a new energy plan, most providers will run a credit check, and you’ll pay a deposit unless you meet a certain threshold. If you prefer to avoid paying this deposit, you can sign up for a prepaid energy plan and pay for your electricity as you go.
  • 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.
  • Renewable plans: You can choose a renewable plan if you’d like to offset your carbon footprint or invest in Texas green energy. Enter your ZIP code and filter for renewable energy plans to compare your options in Galveston.

Understanding Galveston electric rates

Electricity rates vary based on where you live and the utility that services your area.

To find out the current electric rates near you, enter your ZIP code on the Choose Texas Power marketplace. We’ll show you a list of plans and light companies in your area.

Energy deregulation also gives business owners the option to choose their preferred energy provider.

Green energy plans

Texas is a national leader in green energy, ranking first in the nation for wind energy production and second for solar energy generation. Texans therefore have a great range of green energy plans to choose from.

Each energy plan in Texas includes a percentage of green energy. You can find out exactly how much by checking your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL).

Some electricity providers in Galveston offer fully green energy plans. For a 100% green energy plan, you can shop popular renewable energy providers like Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy.

How to switch energy companies

You can use the Choose Texas Power marketplace to switch energy companies if you are moving to Galveston for the first time or simply because you want to find a new provider. Regardless of your reasons, we can help you find a new electricity provider with a low energy rate.

Moving to a new address

You may be able to transfer your current energy plan if your provider operates in Galveston. Be sure to let your provider know about your move in advance if you’d like to set up service beforehand. If your provider doesn’t serve your new area, you can switch to a new plan without paying an ETF. Enter your new ZIP code on this page to compare energy rates and plans from providers in your new area.

Switching energy providers

You may want to switch Galveston energy providers because you found a cheaper rate or are unsatisfied with your current energy plan.

You can then use the Choose Texas Power marketplace to compare providers and find the best energy plan in your area using your ZIP code.
