Alvin utility company

Your utility company is determined by where you live, so you can’t choose it (unlike your electric provider). Utilities have several roles, including restoring power during outages and maintaining the electrical infrastructure within their service areas. In Alvin, there are two utility companies: CenterPoint Energy and Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP). 

If your power goes out, you’ll need to contact your utility company. Here’s how to reach the Alvin utilities: 

Types of Alvin electric plans

There are several types of energy plans available in Alvin. As you shop for a new plan, you might come across the following options:

  • Fixed-rate plans: When you choose a fixed-rate plan, your electricity rate remains the same for the length of your contract. Usually, these contracts last between 12 and 36 months. If you cancel your plan before it expires, you might have to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
  • Variable-rate plans: Unlike fixed-rate plans, these plans don’t have a set energy rate or contract. Instead, your rate (and light bill) will increase or decrease based on the wholesale price of electricity. There are no penalties for canceling or changing a variable-rate plan.
  • No-deposit plans: Before beginning service, many providers require a deposit. If you’d rather avoid this, you can look for a no-deposit electricity plan, such as a prepaid plan. With this arrangement, you’ll pay for your electricity upfront and add more money to your account when it runs low.

Understanding Alvin electric rates

The price of electricity varies across Texas due to differing utility transmission fees, local taxes, and other factors. Because of this, you could have a different electricity rate than someone in a nearby city — even if they have the same plan and provider. That’s why it’s crucial to factor in your location when looking for a new energy plan.

Every electricity plan sold in the Lone Star State includes at least some green energy. If you’d like to see how much of your plan’s power comes from renewable sources, check the Electricity Facts Label (EFL).

Whether you’re new to Alvin or simply want to switch lights companies, you can use Choose Texas Power to find a new plan that fits your needs. Here’s how our marketplace can help.

Moving to a new address

If you’re moving to Alvin from another part of Texas, you may be able to stay with your current energy provider if it offers service in the area. Plan to reach out prior to your move and give them your new address. Otherwise, if you need a new light company, you can explore available plans by submitting your ZIP code on Choose Texas Power.

Switching energy providers

Even if you aren’t moving, there are some cases when you might want to switch providers. For example, if you’re unhappy with your current provider or want to lock in a lower rate, you can compare providers on Choose Texas Power to discover what else is available near you. Be aware you’ll likely have to pay an ETF if you cancel a fixed-rate plan before the contract is up.
