Texas City electric companies

Texas deregulated its energy market in 2002. Since then, Texas City residents have been able to choose their energy provider. This choice allows consumers to shop for lower rates and reduce their energy costs.

Texas City residents have plenty of options for energy providers. At Choose Texas Power, we help you sort through the local providers to find the best fit. We work with trustworthy companies like TXU Energy, Pulse Power, and Reliant Energy. 

While you can choose your energy provider, you can’t choose your own utility company. Your utility company delivers the energy your provider supplies and maintains the local electric infrastructure. CenterPoint Energy is the utility company for Texas City residents. You should contact CenterPoint if you experience power outages or other interruptions to your electricity.

Types of Texas City electric plans

Not only can you choose your energy provider in Texas City, but you can also choose the type of plan you want. Here are the types of plans you will see on Choose Texas Power:

• Fixed-rate plan: A fixed-rate energy plan will lock in your rate for a period of 12, 24, or 36 months. During your contract, you don’t have to worry about your rate fluctuating with the energy market. Because you are in a contract, you’ll have an early termination fee if you end your plan early.
• Variable-rate plan: Unlike a fixed-rate plan, a variable-rate energy plan doesn’t have a contract, so you can walk away at any time. However, you also don’t have a locked-in rate, meaning your electricity rate will fluctuate with the market. Some months your rate may increase, but in other months you’ll see savings.
• No-deposit plan: If you don’t have satisfactory credit, your energy provider may require a deposit. Luckily, some providers offer no-deposit energy plans, such as prepaid energy plans. With a prepaid plan, you pay for your electricity upfront.
