HOW TO CHOOSE
Choosing an electric company in Corpus Christi.
When looking for your retail electricity provider and choosing an electric plan, there’s a number of factors to keep in mind. You’ll be able to choose a plan that’s best for you if you understand your energy usage and what’s important to you in a provider. Below are a series of tips to help you make the best decision for your household.
1
Assess Your Energy Usage
Consider your home size and Corpus Christi's hot, humid climate. Coastal temperatures mean heavy AC use from May through September. Larger homes and summer months significantly impact your electricity consumption patterns and plan selection.
2
Filter Plans by Needs
Browse the 88 available plans and filter by contract length, usage level, and renewable energy percentage. Match plans to your calculated usage patterns to find options that align with your household's specific consumption.
3
Review the Electricity Facts Label
Examine the EFL for each plan to understand actual rates at different usage levels. Pay attention to base charges, energy charges per kilowatt-hour, and how costs change with consumption to avoid surprises.
4
Check Provider Ratings
Review provider ratings compiled from online reviews and PUC complaint data displayed on each plan card. These ratings help identify reliable companies with strong customer service records in Texas energy markets.
5
Understand Contract Terms Fully
Read contract details including length, early termination fees, renewal terms, and rate guarantees. Understanding these commitments helps you avoid unexpected charges and ensures the plan matches your household's timeframe and flexibility needs.
6
Complete Your Plan Enrollment
Use the integrated ComparePower system to enroll directly in your selected plan. The synchronized platform streamlines the signup process, allowing you to activate electricity service for your Corpus Christi home efficiently.
TEXAS ENERGY DEREGULATION
How deregulated energy works
A deregulated energy market is one where customers have the power to choose their electricity provider, rather than being limited to a single utility. In Texas, about 90% of residents have this freedom. This system is designed to encourage competition, leading to better electricity prices and services for consumers. In the deregulated electricity market, retail electric providers (REPs) offer various plans and rates, while utility companies maintain the infrastructure and deliver the electricity.
Retail Electric Providers
In a deregulated market like Texas, you get to choose your retail electric provider. We can help you decide on the right provider and plan.
Utility Companies
Utility companies maintain the infrastructure to deliver your energy and are the same regardless of the energy provider you choose.
