About Groves

Electricity and living in Groves.

Groves is a small city of about 15,000 in Jefferson County between Port Arthur and Port Neches — heavy-industry adjacent (Motiva refinery, the Phillips 66 complex). Mostly residential, with a tight community character tied to the refining workforce.

Climate & bill pattern

Southeast Texas humid subtropical — long hot humid summers, hurricane corridor exposure (Harvey 2017 hit hard).

Mostly 1,300-1,600 sq ft 1950s-70s homes built for refinery workers. Older envelopes mean higher AC cost per square foot than newer construction.

Major employers

·Motiva Enterprises (Port Arthur refinery, adjacent)
·ExxonMobil Beaumont (proximate)
·BASF Total (adjacent)
·Port Arthur ISD

Heads up

No competitive provider plans in Groves

Groves is served by Entergy Texas, a regulated investor-owned utility — not by the deregulated retail market that powers most of Texas. That means you can't shop for a competitive electricity provider here. Rates are set by Entergy Texas through public tariff filings, not by a contract you sign with a private provider.

If you've moved here from Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, or any deregulated Texas city, your old provider doesn't follow you. Entergy Texas will be your one-and-only provider for as long as you're at this address.
