Texas City Electricity Rates and Companies

Our recommended Texas City energy plans

The best electricity plans in Texas City for most residents are usually fixed-rate plans, which keep your energy rate stable throughout your contract. Many popular plans also include bill credits that can significantly lower your effective electricity rate when your monthly usage falls within the plan’s intended range. Understanding your typical electricity usage can help you identify plans that offer the strongest savings opportunities.

Below are a few popular, well-trusted Texas City electricity plans to consider:

Best overall: Rhythm Max Saver 12

Rhythm Max Saver 12 is a strong option for many Texas City residents. The plan offers a $125 bill credit each month when usage reaches 1,000 kWh or more, creating an opportunity for significant savings. For households that regularly use around 1,000 kWh or more, the credit can help lower overall electricity costs and deliver a competitive effective rate. Rhythm’s renewable energy offerings and customer-friendly experience further enhance the plan’s appeal for many shoppers.

Best for high usage: Frontier Saver Deluxe 12

Frontier Saver Deluxe 12 may be a good fit for higher-usage households. The plan offers a $100 usage credit when you use at least 1,500 kWh in a billing cycle. While some high-usage plans require 2,000 kWh or more to earn the bill credit, many higher-usage residents do not consistently meet that threshold every month. A 1,500 kWh requirement may provide a more realistic opportunity to qualify for savings.

Best for low usage: APG&E Simple Choice 12

APG&E Simple Choice 12 is a solid choice for customers with lower or less predictable electricity usage. Many low-usage residents see the most month-to-month variation in their electricity use, which can make bill-credit plans risky. Because this plan does not rely on usage minimums or bill credits, your bill is less likely to jump simply because you missed a specific usage threshold.

The best electricity plan for you will depend on your preferred contract length, typical monthly kWh usage and whether you can consistently qualify for any bill credits. We recommend using our rate finder tool to compare plans and match with the best option for your home.

Texas City utilities: CenterPoint Energy and Texas New Mexico Power

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. There are two utility companies for Texas City: CenterPoint Energy and Texas New Mexico Power (TNMP).

In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact each utility:

CenterPoint Energy

• Call 1-713-207-2222.
• Report an outage through CenterPoint’s online outage system.

Texas New Mexico Power

• Call 1-888-866-7456.
• Report an outage through TNMP’s outage reporting system.

Each utility 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 4.9993 ¢/kWh. TNMP’s charges are $7.85/month and 6.46650 ¢/kWh.

Types of Texas City electric plans

When shopping for a new plan in Texas City, you’ll come across several different types of energy plans. Here’s a brief overview:

• Fixed-rate plans: Fixed-rate energy plans are ideal for homeowners interested in long-term stability. These plans have a contract with a set rate, usually lasting between 12 and 36 months, so your rate stays predictable. While you’re under contract, you won’t have to worry about your rate fluctuating with the energy market. However, you’ll likely pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your plan early without moving out of the service area.
• Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate energy plans don’t require a contract, so you can walk away at any time with no penalty. In exchange for this flexibility, your rate may fluctuate from month to month based on the price of energy. If you’re a renter or you move frequently, this type of plan may work for you.
• No-deposit plans: If you don’t have satisfactory credit, your energy provider may require a deposit. Luckily, some providers offer no-deposit energy plans. Prepaid plans, the most common no-deposit option, allow you to pay for your electricity upfront and skip the credit check and security deposit.
• 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.

Commercial energy

Businesses can also take advantage of the deregulated energy market to shop around for more competitive electricity rates.

Green energy plans

Texas is a great place to be if you’re interested in a green energy plan. The Lone Star State ranks first in the country for wind power and second for solar energy generation. As a result, Texas City residents have plenty of options for affordable green energy.

Each electricity plan in Texas includes some amount of renewable energy. You can find the exact percentage in the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) by searching for your ZIP code on our marketplace, clicking on “More details,” and then selecting the EFL plan document.

A few Texas providers specialize in offering 100% green energy plans. To minimize your environmental impact, consider Texas City electricity providers like Gexa Energy or Green Mountain Energy.
