About CenterPoint Energy
CenterPoint Energy maintains the physical electricity delivery infrastructure across Houston and much of Southeast Texas, serving as the region's Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU). Like other Texas utilities, CenterPoint does not sell electricity plans — dozens of retail electric providers compete for Houston-area customers, while CenterPoint remains responsible for outage restoration, meter reading, and physical grid maintenance no matter which provider a customer selects.
How to Switch
Houston-area residents can compare CenterPoint-territory electricity plans on 97 Options and switch providers in minutes, with CenterPoint continuing uninterrupted delivery throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is CenterPoint Energy my electricity provider?
No, CenterPoint only delivers electricity through its infrastructure. You choose a separate retail electric provider for your actual electricity plan and billing.
How do I report a power outage to CenterPoint?
Contact CenterPoint Energy directly for any outage in the Houston area — this is separate from your electricity plan provider.
