About Baytown
What you're shopping for power in.
Baytown is a heavy-industry city on Galveston Bay, anchored by ExxonMobil's enormous Baytown complex (refinery + olefins + chemical). Housing is a mix of mid-century neighborhoods near the plants and newer subdivisions farther inland.
Climate & bill pattern
Hot humid Gulf Coast summers; hurricane corridor exposure is real (Ike, Harvey both hit hard).
Mix of older 1,500 sq ft mid-century homes and newer 2,200+ sq ft builds; usage patterns vary widely, so a per-home usage profile matters more here than in newer-build suburbs.
