About Groves
What you're shopping for power in.
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.
