About Electricity in South Houston

South Houston is in the CenterPoint service territory, which covers the Greater Houston metropolitan area and surrounding communities. CenterPoint Energy delivers electricity across the Greater Houston area, serving over 2.7 million metered customers.

Texas deregulation means you pick your electricity provider — CenterPoint still delivers the power to your home regardless of which company you choose. Your CenterPoint delivery charges are the same no matter which plan you pick, so the only thing that changes is the energy rate and plan structure.

Summer electricity demand in South Houston peaks from June through September. If you're signing up during these months, a fixed-rate plan locks in your rate before prices climb. If you're flexible, a shorter-term plan lets you re-shop when rates typically drop in the fall.

When comparing plans, look at the rate at your actual usage level — not the advertised rate. A plan that looks cheap at 2,000 kWh might cost more at 1,000 kWh because of base charges and pricing tiers. Use the usage slider above to match your home's real consumption.
