How much are electricity delivery charges in Alvin?
In Alvin, CenterPoint Energy delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and apply uniformly to all customers.

The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for every plan shows the exact split between supply costs and CenterPoint Energy’s delivery fees.
Should I choose a fixed or variable rate plan in Alvin?
A fixed-rate plan in Alvin locks your per-kWh supply rate for the contract term, shielding you from ERCOT wholesale price swings. Variable plans may start lower but can increase monthly without notice. With Alvin fixed rates starting at 7.2¢/kWh, locking in before summer — when Texas wholesale prices historically spike — gives most households more predictable bills and lower overall costs.
