About The Woodlands
What you're shopping for power in.
The Woodlands is a 28,000-acre master-planned community north of Houston with a strong corporate-campus base (ExxonMobil moved its U.S. HQ to a 385-acre site here in 2014). The community is heavily forested by design, with strict tree-preservation rules across all eight villages.
Climate & bill pattern
Slightly cooler nights than central Houston thanks to the tree canopy, but the same long humid summer and AC season.
Homes in The Woodlands skew large (3,000+ sq ft is typical in Sterling Ridge and Creekside) and energy bills run high — fixed-rate 24-36 month plans are the dominant choice for predictability.
