Power to choose Pearland

Traditionally, customers had to buy electricity from their local utility. In the early 2000s, Texas changed that arrangement by deregulating its energy market. Residents were given the power to choose their own energy providers, allowing them to compare prices and plan types from a wide array of options.

Pearland electric companies

As a Pearland resident or business owner, you can purchase electricity from the Texas energy company of your choice. In Texas, these companies are also referred to as retail electric providers (REPs). Many trusted REPs serve Pearland, including 4Change Energy, Direct Energy, Express Energy, TriEagle Energy, and TXU Energy.

In addition to your electricity provider, you’ll have a utility company delivering power to your home and handling power outages in the area. Unlike your REP, you can’t choose your utility company. You’ll be assigned to a utility based on where you live. Two utilities serve Pearland: CenterPoint Energy and Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP). In the event of a power outage, you should always contact your utility, whether it’s CenterPoint or TNMP.

Types of Pearland electric plans

Your search for a new energy plan will prove much easier if you familiarize yourself with the most common available plan types. Here’s a quick overview of popular plans you may come across as you shop for electricity in Pearland.

• Fixed-rate plans let you purchase electricity at a set rate if you’re willing to sign a contract with your supplier (generally 12 months or longer). These plans can be good if you prefer a more predictable energy bill. One drawback is you’ll probably need to pay a fee if you want to terminate the agreement early.
• Variable-rate plans don’t include a fixed electricity rate, so your costs can range greatly in each billing cycle. They don’t require a long-term agreement or charge termination fees, so you might choose this option if you need that type of flexibility.
• No-deposit plans are ideal if you don’t meet other plans’ credit thresholds or you’re on a tight budget. Under these plans, you aren’t required to pay a deposit before beginning electric service.

Electricity rates are influenced by where you live and how much your local utility charges for transmission. When you review your bill, you might notice supply charges from your provider, delivery charges from your utility, and additional taxes and fees. Since utilities charge different transmission fees, it’s possible for two people in different parts of Texas to pay different rates for the same electricity plan.
