Information verified:
CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric is a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) that delivers electricity in Greater Houston, Galveston, Coastal Texas. As part of the ERCOT deregulated market, you can't choose your utility, but you can choose any electricity provider that serves the CenterPoint area.
No. CenterPoint continues to deliver electricity and respond to outages regardless of which provider you choose. Switching only changes who you pay for electricity generation, not the reliability of your service.
Typically 1-2 billing cycles (2-4 weeks). Your new provider handles the entire switch process—you don't need to contact your current provider or CenterPoint. There's no service interruption during the transition. Review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) before switching.
Contact CenterPoint directly at 1-800-752-8036 or visit centerpointenergy.com. Your utility company handles all outage reporting and restoration, regardless of your electricity provider.
