Your power to choose electricity in The Woodlands

In The Woodlands, Texas, the energy market is deregulated. Because of this, local residents and businesses have the power to choose their own electricity provider. Deregulated markets offer more freedom and flexibility than traditional markets, where consumers are required to purchase power from their local utility company. If you live in The Woodlands, you can enter your ZIP code to discover today’s best electricity rates and plans.

Choose Texas Power is not affiliated with Power to Choose, powertochoose.org, or the PUCT.

Average residential energy rate

According to our marketplace data, the current residential electricity rate in The Woodlands is 14.09 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh). The Woodlands electricity rates vary depending on energy demand, weather conditions, usage, and other factors. Prices are typically most expensive in summer (when temperatures are high and people need electricity to keep cool).

Best electricity providers

Electric providers in The Woodlands sell electricity plans, track your usage, and send out electricity bills. You can choose from a variety of available providers in your area, and Choose Texas Power allows you to compare the best plans and rates. On our marketplace, you’ll find rates from a wide variety of electricity providers, including TXU Energy, TriEagle Energy, and 4Change Energy.

CenterPoint is The Woodlands’s utility company

While you can pick your energy provider, you can’t choose your utility company in The Woodlands. Instead, this company is assigned to you based on where you live. Your utility delivers electricity to your home, maintains the power grid and electrical lines, and turns the power back on during outages.

The Woodlands’ local utility company is CenterPoint Energy. If you need to report a power outage to your utility, here’s how to reach the company:

  • Report an outage through CenterPoint’s online portal
  • Call 713-207-2222

 

Types of The Woodlands electric plans

On top of choosing your light company, you’ll also need to decide which type of electricity plan is best for your needs. Here’s an overview of the most popular options on our marketplace:

  • Fixed-rate plans: On a fixed-rate plan, you’ll enter a contract (usually 12 to 36 months) and pay the same energy supply rate per kWh for the entire term. This predictability makes it easier to budget for your monthly energy expenses. However, you’ll typically incur an early termination fee (ETF) if you leave your plan before the contract expires.
  • Variable-rate plans: With a variable-rate plan, there is no guaranteed rate or contract. Instead, your rate can change from month to month, depending on current energy market conditions. While these plans are more of a gamble in terms of price, they give you the flexibility to cancel whenever you’d like without facing an ETF.
  • No-deposit plans: If you don’t have a strong credit score, you may have to pay a deposit before enrolling in an energy plan. However, one way to avoid this is by selecting a no-deposit plan. For example, prepaid plans on our marketplace from Payless Power let you skip the deposit, pay for your power in advance, and reload your account when the funds get low.
