Average Electricity Rates in Texas City
TDSP TNMP
Gulf Coast humidity keeps AC running longer than in drier parts of Texas. Texas City households tend to accumulate more cooling hours per day, so monthly usage adds up even for modest-sized homes. Also, older homes near the industrial waterfront have less insulation, which can push usage towards the higher end.
What Texas City Shoppers Should Know
- Texas City electricity rates currently start at 8.2¢ per kWh in the Power Wizard marketplace.

Switch Electricity Providers in Texas City, TX
Looking to switch retail electric providers (REPs) in Texas City? Start by entering your ZIP code into Power Wizard’s tool to compare plans and rates available for your address. Once you enroll, your new provider usually handles the switch with no service interruption. Same-day electricity may be available if you enroll before the provider’s cutoff time, but timing can vary by provider, plan, service address, meter status, and service day. Before switching, review your Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for any early termination fees (ETFs). Moving to a new home does not trigger an ETF.
Electricity Shopping Pro Tip:
Spring and fall are often smart times to compare Texas City electricity rates because demand is usually lower. You can shop up to 90 days before your contract ends and schedule your new plan to start when your current contract ends.
Texas City Electricity 101: Utility Companies vs. Providers Explained
Your electricity provider and utility company do different jobs. Your provider sells you the plan, sets your rate, sends your bill, and manages most account questions. Your utility delivers power to your home, maintains local lines and meters, and handles outages.
In Texas City, your utility may depend on your service address. Some addresses may be served by CenterPoint Energy, while others may be served by Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP). You can choose a retail electric provider (REP) if your address is in a deregulated service area, but you cannot choose your utility because it is assigned by location.
You may see utility fees listed as Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU) or Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) charges on your bill. These charges are regulated and apply no matter which retail electric provider you choose.
CenterPoint Energy:
- Monthly base charge: $4.90
- Per-kWh delivery fee: $0.0515
TNMP:
- Monthly base charge: $7.85
- Per-kWh delivery fee: $0.0647
Pro Tip:
In Texas City, utility charges include a base fee and a per kWh fee that can change multiple times a year. This may be a factor if you see an increase in your electricity bill.
Reporting a Power Outage in Texas City
If your power goes out in Texas City, contact your utility, not your retail electric provider. Your provider handles your plan and billing, but your utility restores power and repairs local delivery equipment.
Your outage contact depends on your service address:
- CenterPoint Energy customers: call 800-332-7143 or text OUT to 832-937-2114
- Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) customers: call 888-866-7456
Your utility handles storm damage, downed lines, and grid repairs across its service area, including deregulated addresses in Texas City. Check your current bill if you are not sure which utility serves your address.

Electricity Plan Types for Your Texas City Home
Not every plan is right for every household. A smaller home near the Texas City waterfront and a larger house in the La Marque area don’t shop the same way. Here’s what’s available and when each type makes sense.
- Fixed-Rate Plans – Lock a more consistent rate for the length of your contract. A solid option for predictable bills and protection from seasonal price swings. This is the simplest plan and usually the most recommended for Texas households.
Plan Name ¢/kWh Est. Bill Term Rhythm Energy - PowerShift Payback 12 14.0¢ $139.90 12 mos. Energy Texas - Come & Take It 12 14.1¢ $140.90 12 mos. BKV Energy - Lantana 12 14.4¢ $144.00 12 mos.

Monthly bill estimates are based on 1000 kWh usage. Actual bills may vary based on usage patterns and additional fees. - Time-of-Use Plans – Electricity rates vary by time of day. Plans advertising ‘free nights’ or ‘free weekends’ typically charge higher daytime or peak-hour rates to offset the promotional periods. These plans work best for households that can consistently shift high usage to off-peak hours.
Plan Name ¢/kWh Est. Bill Term Chariot Energy - Free Days 36 15.9¢ $159.00 36 mos. Frontier Utilities - Frontier Free Weekends Preferred 12 19.5¢ $195.00 12 mos.

Monthly bill estimates are based on 1000 kWh usage. Actual bills may vary based on usage patterns and additional fees. - No-Deposit & Prepaid Electricity Plans – Pay ahead for electricity usage instead of paying a deposit. This is a strong option for customers with limited or no credit history. You add funds to your account in advance, and your balance decreases as electricity is used. Electricity rates are usually higher than those of other plans, and your service can be disconnected if your balance falls too low.

Monthly bill estimates are based on 1000 kWh usage. Actual bills may vary based on usage patterns and additional fees. - Variable-rate Plans – Best suited for short periods. Rates move with market conditions, which provide flexibility but also risk of higher bills during peak demand. We almost never recommend this plan, but it can help in certain situations.

Texas City Electricity FAQs
Texas City electricity rates can change with the weather, market conditions, plan type, and contract length. Summer heat and Gulf Coast humidity can increase demand, and CenterPoint delivery fees can also affect the final rate on your bill.
Texas City’s hot, humid climate can make your air conditioner run longer, which increases monthly usage. Spring and fall usually bring milder weather, making them good times to compare electricity plans.
The best provider and plan depend on your usage, budget, contract preference, and plan type. Some households want fixed-rate stability, while others may prefer renewable energy, prepaid service, solar buyback, or flexible terms. Compare the plan details and Electricity Facts Label (EFL) before enrolling.
Texas City homes can have high cooling demand, but small changes can help. Set your thermostat higher in summer, use ceiling fans, close blinds during hot afternoons, switch to LED bulbs, check insulation, and compare your current plan against available Texas City electricity rates.
The best plan depends on your usage, home size, contract preference, and budget. Read the Electricity Facts Label (EFL), compare rates at 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh, and choose the plan that fits how your household actually uses electricity.
