Before you compare plans in Texas City, it helps to know which utility serves your street. The city is split between two wires utilities. On Power to Choose on November 4, 2026, ZIP codes 77590 and 77591 had both CenterPoint Energy and Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) addresses, and 77592 was TNMP only. Either way, you're in the Texas retail market, so you pick the provider and the plan, while your utility keeps delivering the power whoever you pay.
Our rates table shows plans for TNMP addresses in Texas City. Prices at CenterPoint addresses are different, so if CenterPoint serves your home, enter your ZIP code to pull up the plans for your address. Every price here was checked November 4, 2026, and the page is updated monthly. Below the table, we cover this month's prices, both utilities' delivery charges and the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) lines to read before you sign.

Here's how energy prices in Texas City looked on November 4, 2026. Unless a line says otherwise, figures are for TNMP addresses and show the average price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in a 1,000 kWh month, delivery included.
Our Texas City table, which covers TNMP addresses, runs from 9.6¢ to 12.2¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh.
Power to Choose, the official state site for comparing plans, listed 168 plans from 41 providers for TNMP addresses.
Power to Choose showed 142 fixed-rate TNMP plans (prepaid and time-of-use plans not included) from 8.0¢ to 18.3¢, and 73 of them cost 14.8¢ or less.
On Power to Choose, the typical 12-month fixed plan for TNMP addresses was 14.3¢.
The three lowest 1,000 kWh prices on Power to Choose for TNMP addresses (8.0¢, 8.9¢ and 9.0¢) were all bill-credit plans, and Power to Choose priced those credit plans at 21.3¢ to 32.0¢ in a 500 kWh month.
Power to Choose's three cheapest 12-month TNMP plans without a credit stayed between 13.5¢ and 15.7¢ at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh.
TNMP delivery costs $7.56 a month plus 7.7710¢ per kWh, on an EFL dated October 4, 2026, or $85.27 at 1,000 kWh before you pay for any energy.
CenterPoint delivery costs $4.90 a month plus 6.5333¢ per kWh on an EFL of the same date, or $70.23 at 1,000 kWh.
The Texas average residential price was 15.91¢ per kWh in August 2026, according to preliminary data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
What this means for you: if your TNMP-area fixed rate is above about 15¢, or you've slipped onto a month-to-month rate, switching this month should save you money.
Every plan in our Texas City table is priced like a bill-credit plan. The giveaway is the jump between the 500 kWh and 1,000 kWh prices. These are TNMP-area figures.
4Change Energy Maxx Saver Value 12 and Frontier Utilities Frontier Saver Plus 12: 22.8¢ at 500 kWh, 9.6¢ at 1,000 kWh and 15.4¢ at 2,000 kWh.
Frontier Saver Plus 24: 23.5¢, 10.2¢ and 16.1¢.
4Change Energy Maxx Saver Value 24: 25.0¢, 11.7¢ and 17.6¢.
4Change Energy Maxx Saver Value 36: 25.5¢, 12.2¢ and 18.1¢.
Frontier says its Saver Plus plans can earn up to $1,500 in usage credits a year. The 4Change entries in our feed don't state how the credit works, so open the EFL to see the usage it requires. Our guide to reading an Electricity Facts Label points to the right section.
A home that uses 1,000 kWh every billing cycle gets the low price, while one that drops to 500 kWh pays 22.8¢ or more per kWh that month. Big users aren't spared either: at 2,000 kWh these plans show 15.4¢ to 18.1¢, while Power to Choose's cheapest credit-free 12-month TNMP plans stayed between 13.5¢ and 15.7¢ at all three usage levels. If your usage rises and falls with the seasons, compare a credit-free plan before you commit.
The fair test is the price at your home's real usage, which may sit well away from the 1,000 kWh figure in ads. EFLs show average prices at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh.
As of November 2026, at a TNMP address in Texas City, a 12-month fixed plan at about 14¢ per kWh or less at your usage is a good price.
16¢ per kWh is higher than the EIA's 15.91¢ Texas average and higher than the 14.3¢ typical 12-month TNMP plan on Power to Choose, so look for something cheaper.
If your contract expired and you never picked a new plan, your month-to-month rate very likely costs more than the plans in our table. Leaving it costs nothing.
You can see what your home uses on Smart Meter Texas, the state's free portal for smart meter data, or by adding up the kWh on a year of bills. The EIA puts the average Texas home at 1,096 kWh a month in 2024.
Three culprits sit behind most big bills in Texas City.
Air conditioning: summer cooling can send a home's usage far above its spring and fall levels, so check each plan at your summer kWh.
Delivery charges: TNMP addresses pay $7.56 a month plus 7.7710¢ per kWh, or $85.27 at 1,000 kWh, more than half the bill on the 14.3¢ typical 12-month TNMP plan on Power to Choose. CenterPoint addresses pay $4.90 a month plus 6.5333¢ per kWh, or $70.23 at 1,000 kWh. Every provider passes these through, and the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) publishes the current delivery rates for each Texas utility.
An expired contract: once a fixed term ends without a new plan, you move to a month-to-month rate that can change with every bill.
Shopping at your summer usage and locking a fixed rate early fixes the first two; renewing on time fixes the third.
Your retail electric provider (REP) is the company you choose; it sells you electricity and sends the bill. Your transmission and distribution utility (TDU) owns the poles and wires, reads your smart meter and repairs outages. In Texas City, the TDU is TNMP or CenterPoint Energy depending on your address. On Power to Choose on November 4, ZIPs 77590 and 77591 had addresses on both utilities, and 77592 was TNMP only.
Our rates table lists TNMP-area plans. CenterPoint addresses get different prices, so enter your ZIP code if CenterPoint serves you. Changing providers never changes your utility or its reliability.
When the power goes out or a line comes down, call your utility rather than your provider:
TNMP: 888-866-7456, or the TNMP power outages page. TNMP also takes outage reports on its online outage map.
CenterPoint Energy: 713-207-2222 or 800-332-7143, or the CenterPoint contact page.
Our explainer on TDU delivery charges in Texas covers what these charges pay for.
The cheapest light company in Texas City for you depends on your usage, how long you want to lock in and which utility serves your address. Every plan below is in our Texas City table (TNMP addresses), priced at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh as of November 4, 2026.
Usage that reliably hits 1,000 kWh: 4Change Energy Maxx Saver Value 12 or Frontier Utilities Frontier Saver Plus 12 (22.8¢, 9.6¢, 15.4¢). These are the table's lowest prices when you earn the credit every month.
More time locked in: Frontier Saver Plus 24 (23.5¢, 10.2¢, 16.1¢), 4Change Maxx Saver Value 24 (25.0¢, 11.7¢, 17.6¢) or Maxx Saver Value 36 (25.5¢, 12.2¢, 18.1¢), all with the same credit-style pricing.
Room to change your mind: the 4Change Maxx Saver plans charge $20 per remaining month to cancel, against a flat $150 on Frontier Saver Plus 12 and $200 on Frontier Saver Plus 24.
Low usage: nothing in our table is designed for small homes or apartments, since each plan costs 22.8¢ or more at 500 kWh. On Power to Choose, the cheapest credit-free 12-month TNMP plans stayed between 13.5¢ and 15.7¢ at every usage level.
No bill credit: every plan in our Texas City table this month relies on a usage credit. Power to Choose listed credit-free 12-month TNMP plans from 13.6¢ at 1,000 kWh.
Renewable power: our table has no 100% renewable plan this month. Power to Choose listed 42 fully renewable plans for TNMP addresses on November 4, and our reviews of Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy cover two providers built around renewable plans.
CenterPoint customers should enter their ZIP code, since these TNMP prices won't apply. Whichever utility you have, compare at least three plans at your own usage and check the EFL on the day you enroll.
A fixed-rate plan locks your energy price for the contract, usually 12, 24 or 36 months, so summer price swings can't touch your rate. Leaving early may cost an early termination fee (ETF); in our Texas City table, that ranges from $20 per remaining month to a flat $200. Delivery charges can still change mid-contract, because the PUCT sets them, not your provider. See more fixed-rate electricity plans.
Variable plans have no set term, but the price can change every billing cycle. On Power to Choose on November 4, variable plans for TNMP addresses ranged from 11.1¢ to 19.4¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh. They suit short stays and carry the most risk through a hot summer.
Prepaid plans need no credit check or deposit: you pay ahead, receive usage alerts and top up when your balance runs low. Our Texas City table has no prepaid plans this month. On Power to Choose, prepaid plans for TNMP addresses cost 17.4¢ to 19.4¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh, above most fixed plans. Our no-deposit electricity guide explains the choices.
Renewable plans are matched with renewable energy credits, often from Texas wind and solar farms. Power to Choose showed 42 of its 168 TNMP-area plans as 100% renewable on November 4. Compare our green energy plans and read the renewable content line on the EFL.
Time-of-use plans make power cheaper at set times, such as nights or weekends, which can suit electric vehicle owners. Power to Choose listed nine for TNMP addresses this month. Solar buyback plans credit rooftop solar owners for power they export, so compare the buyback rate and fees.
Switching takes a few minutes online, and the lights stay on the whole time.
Find the ESI ID (Electric Service Identifier) on a recent bill. It's the ID number for your meter.
Enter your ZIP code, compare plans at your usage and enroll with your service address.
Pick a start date. The new provider coordinates with your utility, TNMP or CenterPoint, and no one needs to visit.
If you're still under contract, check the end date. PUCT rules mean there's no early termination fee when the switch happens no earlier than 14 days before the expiration date on your renewal notice, and providers must send that notice at least 30 days before the contract ends. The PUCT electricity FAQ has the specifics.
Setting up service at a new Texas City address follows the same steps. Our guide on how to switch electricity providers in Texas also covers moves.
