About Beaumont
What you're shopping for power in.
Beaumont is the largest city on the upper Texas coast, an oil-refining and petrochemical hub east of Houston on I-10. It's the birthplace of the Texas oil boom (Spindletop, 1901) and the home of Lamar University.
Climate & bill pattern
Sub-tropical Gulf Coast climate — very humid, very wet (one of the rainiest U.S. cities), and hot from May to October.
Older housing stock dominates — mid-century 1,600-2,200 sq ft homes are typical; high humidity + AC load makes shoulder-season bills surprisingly high.
