Richmond electric companies

The deregulated energy market in Richmond allows residents to choose their own electric provider. That means electric companies near you have to compete for your business, so you have a variety of options to choose from for energy plans and rates. 

The Choose Texas Power marketplace uses information from the providers to give you a one-stop resource as you shop for energy plans. You can compare plans from some of the best electric companies near you like Gexa Energy, Direct Energy, and TXU Energy

Meanwhile, you do not have the option to choose your utility provider. In Richmond, your utility company is CenterPoint Energy. If you experience a power outage or notice a downed power line, you need to contact the utility company, not your provider.

Types of Richmond electric plans

  • Fixed-rate plans:  With this plan, your energy rate remains the same throughout your contract. Most contracts are either 12, 24, or 36 months. It results in no price spikes when seasonal variances happen. Though, if you do cancel before the term expires, you might have to pay an early termination fee. 
  • Variable-rate plans: In variable-rate plans, your electric price changes with the wholesale price of electricity. Factors influencing the cost are energy demand, seasonal variances, and more. That said, you can cancel this plan at any time and not incur an early termination charge. 
  • No deposit plans: Some plans require a credit check before signing up, and if your credit score is unsatisfactory you might have to pay a deposit upfront. If you’re looking to avoid a credit check, or if you have a lower credit score, a no deposit plan might be a good option for you.
