Pearland is part of the Texas retail electricity market, so you choose your provider and your plan. One thing sets the city apart: it's split between two wires utilities. On Power to Choose on November 4, 2026, ZIP codes 77581 and 77584 included both CenterPoint Energy and Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) addresses, and 77588 was TNMP only. Whichever utility serves your address delivers the power, no matter which provider you sign with.
The rates table on this page shows plans for TNMP addresses. CenterPoint addresses in Pearland get different prices, so if CenterPoint serves your home, enter your ZIP code to see the plans for your address. Prices here were checked November 4, 2026, and we update the page monthly. Further down: TNMP-area market figures, delivery charges for both utilities, plans for different homes, and what to check on the Electricity Facts Label (EFL).

These figures are from November 4, 2026, and they cover TNMP addresses unless we say otherwise. Each one is the average price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) at 1,000 kWh a month, with TNMP's delivery charges included.
Plans in our Pearland table, all for TNMP addresses, run from 9.6¢ to 12.2¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh.
Power to Choose, the state's official comparison site, listed 168 plans from 41 providers for TNMP addresses.
On Power to Choose, the 142 fixed-rate plans for TNMP addresses (prepaid and time-of-use plans excluded) ranged from 8.0¢ to 18.3¢, and 73 of them cost 14.8¢ or less.
The typical 12-month fixed plan for TNMP addresses on Power to Choose was 14.3¢.
Bill-credit plans took the three lowest 1,000 kWh prices on Power to Choose (8.0¢, 8.9¢ and 9.0¢), and Power to Choose listed those credit plans at 21.3¢ to 32.0¢ for a 500 kWh month.
On Power to Choose, the three cheapest 12-month TNMP plans without a bill credit stayed between 13.5¢ and 15.7¢ at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh.
TNMP's delivery charges are $7.56 a month plus 7.7710¢ per kWh, on an EFL dated October 4, 2026. That's $85.27 at 1,000 kWh before any energy charge.
At CenterPoint addresses, delivery is $4.90 a month plus 6.5333¢ per kWh on an EFL of the same date, or $70.23 at 1,000 kWh.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported an average Texas residential price of 15.91¢ per kWh for August 2026, a preliminary figure.
What this means for you: at a TNMP address, a fixed rate above about 15¢, or any month-to-month rate, is a good reason to shop this month.
All five plans in our Pearland table follow the bill-credit pattern, with a far higher price at 500 kWh than at 1,000 kWh. These are TNMP-area prices.
Frontier Utilities Frontier Saver Plus 12 and 4Change Energy Maxx Saver Value 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 promotes up to $1,500 in usage credits a year on its Saver Plus plans. Our feed doesn't list the credit rule for the 4Change plans, so check the EFL for the usage level the credit needs. Our guide to reading an Electricity Facts Label shows where it appears.
These plans work best when your home lands at or above 1,000 kWh in every billing cycle. In a 500 kWh month, the price jumps to 22.8¢ or more. At 2,000 kWh they show 15.4¢ to 18.1¢, while the cheapest credit-free 12-month TNMP plans on Power to Choose stayed between 13.5¢ and 15.7¢ at every usage level. If your usage moves around through the year, price a plan without a credit as well.
Compare rates at the usage your home really has, since the 1,000 kWh headline may be far from your bill. Every EFL gives average prices at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh.
As of November 2026, at a TNMP address, a 12-month fixed plan at about 14¢ per kWh or less at your usage is a good price.
16¢ per kWh is above the EIA's 15.91¢ Texas average and above the 14.3¢ typical 12-month TNMP plan on Power to Choose, so it's time to compare.
A month-to-month rate after your contract ends very likely costs more than the plans in our table, and there's no fee to leave one.
Your smart meter tracks your usage. Smart Meter Texas, the state's official meter-data portal, shows your history free, or you can total the kWh on your last 12 bills. According to the EIA, the average Texas home used 1,096 kWh a month in 2024.
Three things explain most high bills in Pearland.
Summer cooling: air conditioning can lift a home's usage far above spring or fall levels, so check every plan at your summer kWh, not only at 1,000 kWh.
Delivery charges: at a TNMP address, delivery costs $7.56 a month plus 7.7710¢ per kWh, or $85.27 at 1,000 kWh, which is more than half of the bill on the 14.3¢ typical 12-month TNMP plan listed on Power to Choose. CenterPoint addresses pay $4.90 a month plus 6.5333¢ per kWh, or $70.23 at 1,000 kWh. The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) sets both and publishes the current delivery rates for each Texas utility.
Expired contracts: when a fixed term ends and you haven't picked a new plan, you roll onto a month-to-month rate that can change every billing cycle.
For the first two, compare plans at your summer usage and lock a fixed rate before the heat. For the third, shop a month before your end date.
Every Pearland bill involves two kinds of company. Your retail electric provider (REP) sells you the electricity and sends the bill. Your transmission and distribution utility (TDU) owns the lines, reads the smart meter and restores power after storms. In Pearland, that TDU is either TNMP or CenterPoint Energy, depending on your address. On Power to Choose on November 4, ZIPs 77581 and 77584 had addresses on both utilities, and 77588 was TNMP only.
The rates table on this page shows TNMP-area plans. CenterPoint addresses get different prices, so if CenterPoint serves you, enter your ZIP code to see your plans. Switching providers never changes your utility or the reliability of your service.
For outages or downed lines, call your utility, not your provider:
TNMP: call 888-866-7456 or use the TNMP power outages page. TNMP also takes outage reports on its online outage map.
CenterPoint Energy: call 713-207-2222 or 800-332-7143, or use the CenterPoint contact page.
Our explainer on TDU delivery charges in Texas covers what both utilities charge for.
The right provider depends on your usage, the contract length you want and which utility serves you. The plans below are in our Pearland table, which shows TNMP-area prices at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, checked November 4, 2026.
Steady usage of 1,000 kWh or more: Frontier Utilities Frontier Saver Plus 12 or 4Change Energy Maxx Saver Value 12 (22.8¢, 9.6¢, 15.4¢), the lowest prices in our table if you earn the credit every month.
A longer lock-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¢). Same credit pattern, same usage rule.
A small cancellation fee: the 4Change Maxx Saver plans charge $20 per remaining month, compared with a flat $150 on Frontier Saver Plus 12 and $200 on Frontier Saver Plus 24.
Low usage: none of our listed plans is built for small homes, since each 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 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 renewable-focused providers.
A Pearland business: commercial accounts can compare business energy plans separately from the residential plans in our table.
At a CenterPoint address, enter your ZIP code, because these prices won't match yours. Either way, compare at least three plans at your own usage and confirm the terms on the EFL the day you enroll.
Fixed-rate plans hold your energy price for the full term, usually 12, 24 or 36 months, which protects you from summer price spikes. Ending early can mean an early termination fee (ETF); in our Pearland table, ETFs run from $20 per remaining month to a flat $200. Delivery charges can still change mid-contract, because the PUCT sets them, not your provider. Compare more fixed-rate electricity plans.
Variable plans run month to month and can be cancelled any time, but the rate can change every billing cycle. On Power to Choose on November 4, variable plans for TNMP addresses ran from 11.1¢ to 19.4¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh. They suit short stays and carry the most risk in a hot summer.
Prepaid plans let you pay ahead, get usage alerts and top up as you go, with no credit check or deposit. Our Pearland table has none this month. On Power to Choose, prepaid plans for TNMP addresses cost 17.4¢ to 19.4¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh, a few cents more than mainstream fixed plans. Our no-deposit electricity guide lays out the options.
Renewable plans are backed by 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. Browse our green energy plans and check the renewable content line on the EFL.
Time-of-use plans charge less at certain times, such as nights or weekends, which can suit electric vehicle charging. Power to Choose listed nine for TNMP addresses this month. Solar buyback plans credit rooftop solar owners for power sent back to the grid; compare the credit rate, fees and how leftover credits are handled.
Switching takes a few minutes online, and your power stays on throughout.
Find your ESI ID (Electric Service Identifier) on a recent bill. It's the number assigned to your meter.
Enter your ZIP code, compare plans at your usage, choose one and enroll with your service address.
Pick a start date. Your new provider arranges the change with your utility, TNMP or CenterPoint, and nobody needs to visit your home.
If you're under contract, check the end date first. PUCT rules let you switch without an early termination fee if 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 details.
Moving into Pearland works the same way. Our guide on how to switch electricity providers in Texas covers moves and transfers too.
