The Woodlands utility companies & energy providers
Deregulation has altered the operational blueprint for The Woodlands utilities. The three main components – transmission, distribution, and sales – were previously facilitated by the same utility service. Currently, energy transmission and distribution are facilitated by the utility company in The Woodlands. However, consumers can now choose from multiple energy providers. These same energy providers also set the prices for their services.
Many newcomers to Texas find this process confusing, but Choose Energy is here to make it easier. Choose Energy will guide you through this process and find a plan with a trusted energy supplier at a price fits your budget.
