Friendswood utility company

While you can choose your provider, you can’t choose your utility. Your utility company delivers electricity to your home, updates infrastructure, and responds to power outages. Depending on your address in Friendswood, you may have service from Texas-New Mexico Power or Centerpoint Energy. In the event of a power outage, you should reach out to your utility, not your electricity provider.

Types of Friendswood electric plans

Our marketplace offers several different energy options in Friendswood, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, and no-deposit plans. Here’s how each plan works:

  • Fixed-rate plans: A fixed-rate plan makes it easy to budget since your energy rate remains the same for the duration of your contract. Most plans last for one, two, or three years. Keep in mind that if you want to switch providers before your contract is over, you may be subject to an early cancellation fee (unless you’re moving).
  • Variable-rate plans: If you need more flexibility to change plans, consider a variable-rate plan. Your rate per kWh can vary each month based on the current energy market. You can search for lower plans and switch as needed. Keep in mind that you may have spikes in your energy bills if there’s an increase in the energy market, making it harder to budget.
  • No-deposit plans: Many suppliers will require an initial deposit before beginning service. If you’d rather avoid this fee, you could choose a no-deposit plan or prepaid plan. With these types of plans, you’ll pay for your energy upfront and top up your account as needed.

Understanding Friendswood electric rates

When shopping for cheap electricity in Friendswood, your location plays a huge role in determining your costs. Utility companies charge residents for delivering electricity to their homes. That’s why you might have the same energy provider and plan as someone else but pay a different price.
