Conroe utility companies and energy providers

In Conroe (and other deregulated Texas cities), your utility company delivers power to your property, tends to power lines and other electrical infrastructure, and restores electricity during outages. You can’t choose your utility because it is assigned by location. The utility company serving Conroe energy customers is CenterPoint Energy.

Unlike your utility, you’re free to choose your own electricity provider in Conroe. This is the company that sells energy plans, manages your billing and account, and monitors your usage. There are many popular electricity companies in Conroe, including Direct Energy, Reliant Energy, and TXU Energy.

Power outages in Conroe

If your electricity goes out in Conroe, contact your utility (CenterPoint Energy). Here’s how to notify the company of an outage:

  • Report it online through CenterPoint’s outage center
  • Call 713-207-2222

Types of electricity plans in Conroe

There are a few types of electricity plans in Conroe, and the best one will depend on your energy usage, budget, and preferences. Here’s an overview of popular plan types to help you figure out the best option for your household.

  • Fixed-rate plans: If you sign up for a fixed-rate plan, you’ll have a stable electricity rate for a set amount of time (usually 12 to 36 months). You can enjoy more predictable energy costs and stability. However, if you cancel before your agreement ends, you may be required to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
  • Variable-rate plans: If you prefer flexibility over steady pricing, then a variable-rate plan may be a better choice. With these plans, your rate — and monthly energy bill — can rise and fall based on the current market rate of electricity. Since there’s no contract, you can cancel a variable-rate plan at any time without penalty.
  • Prepaid and no-deposit plans: It’s common for Conroe electricity providers to run a credit check before beginning service. If your score isn’t up to their standards, you may need to pay a deposit. To avoid this requirement, you can sign up for a no-deposit plan. One example is a prepaid plan, which lets you pay for your usage upfront.

Conroe green energy

Texas is one of the country’s leading producers of green energy. In fact, it generates the most wind power out of any state and ranks second for solar energy production. Because of this significant investment in renewable energy, it’s easy for Conroe locals to go green with their electricity plan.

Whenever you buy an energy plan in the Lone Star State, at least a small percentage of its power will come from renewable sources. But if that’s not enough, there are also fully green plans available in Conroe. You’ll find them from top-rated Texas providers like Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy. Both of these companies exclusively sell 100% renewable plans.

To discover green electricity rates in your area, enter your ZIP code on Choose Energy’s marketplace and select the green energy filter.
