Heads up

No competitive provider plans in Port Neches

Port Neches 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.
