Choosing your power in Texas City
In a traditional energy market, customers buy energy from their local utility company. Texas changed that approach in the early 2000s with deregulation, which gave residents and businesses the power to choose their energy providers. As a result, providers compete against each other to sell low prices and offer unique plans.

Top Texas City electricity companies
Your Texas City energy provider sells electricity and manages billing and other account-related concerns. The SaveOnEnergy marketplace partners with top-tier providers in the state to help you pick from the best options in Texas City. Some of our most popular providers include TXU Energy, Reliant Energy, Rhythm Energy, Discount Power, and Express Energy.
Texas City utility company
Your utility is assigned based on where you live. While most cities have one utility company, Texas City has two: CenterPoint Energy and Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP).
Utility companies charge different transmission rates, meaning customers in different parts of Texas can have the same plan but pay different rates. That’s why it’s important to search for energy plans with your ZIP code, which you can enter on this page.
If you experience a power outage in Texas City, you should contact your utility company, not your energy provider.
- In Texas City, your utility is either CenterPoint Energy or TNMP.
- If you’re with CenterPoint Energy, you can report outages online or by calling 1-800-332-7143.
- If you have TNMP, call 1-888-866-7456 to report an outage.
Types of plans in Texas City
Your search for a new provider will be easier if you familiarize yourself with the most common types of energy plans. Keep reading to learn more about popular plan types or check out our helpful energy plan guide for more information. You can also call the phone number on your screen to discuss your options with an energy professional.
Fixed-rate plans
Most of the Texas City plans on our marketplace are fixed-rate plans, which include a long-term contract (usually 12–36 months). As long as your contract is active, your rate won’t change. You may incur an early termination fee (ETF) if you switch providers or end your plan prematurely.
Variable-rate plans
If you prefer a more flexible option, consider a variable-rate plan. These month-to-month energy plans don’t come with a contract or a guaranteed rate. Instead, your rate will fluctuate based on the market price of electricity, meaning that it may vary depending on demand and seasonality.
No-deposit plans
When you apply for a new electricity plan, the provider will often initiate a credit check. If your score doesn’t meet the requirements, you’ll likely need to pay an upfront deposit for your service. Want to skip the credit check and avoid a deposit? Search for light companies that offer no-deposit or prepaid plans, such as Payless Power.
Green electricity
The Lone Star State is known as a powerhouse for renewable energy production — especially wind power and solar energy. That’s great news for Texas City energy customers because it enables them to choose from numerous green energy plans.
To learn how much green energy is in a particular plan, check its Electricity Facts Label (EFL). Several Texas City providers offer 100% green plans, but a select few (including Gexa Energy) exclusively sell renewable energy plans.

Moving or switching providers in Texas City
You can switch providers in Texas when you move homes, find a better deal, or want higher quality service. SaveOnEnergy can help you navigate the process depending on your unique situation.
Moving to a new address
You can transfer your energy plan if your current provider serves your new address. Let the company know ahead of time so you don’t experience delays or power interruptions. Energy prices may vary by location, so you could have better options at your new address. Enter your ZIP code to compare today’s rates with your current price before moving day.
Switching energy providers
You don’t have to wait until your contract ends to switch electricity providers, but we recommend checking for potential fees first. Most fixed-rate plans have an ETF, which is a fee for canceling a plan before it ends. Consider your potential savings with a new plan compared to the ETF cost before you switch or wait until your contract is up.
