Who delivers electricity in Dickinson?

Under the deregulated model regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), your TDU (CenterPoint Energy) is separate from your supplier. Your choice of REP (Retail Electric Provider) only affects who bills you for the supply portion and at what rate.
How do I switch electricity providers in Dickinson?
It takes about five minutes: compare plans, pick your provider, and enroll online. CenterPoint Energy processes the switch in 1–2 business days under PUCT regulations. No technician visit, no interruption, no equipment changes. Your REP (Retail Electric Provider) handles all coordination with CenterPoint Energy. Same power, same grid, same meter — just a new rate on your bill.
Are there renewable energy plans in Dickinson?
Yes — several Dickinson providers offer plans with partial or full renewable energy content through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). These RECs match your usage with wind and solar generation on the ERCOT grid. No equipment changes are needed. CenterPoint Energy delivers the power identically regardless of whether your plan includes renewable content. Check each plan’s EFL for the exact renewable percentage.
How much are electricity delivery charges in Dickinson?
CenterPoint Energy’s delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and identical for all Dickinson customers, regardless of supplier. These fees cover transmission, distribution infrastructure, and grid maintenance. When comparing Dickinson electricity plans, the rates shown at 1,000 kWh typically include delivery fees. Review each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for the full breakdown of supply versus delivery costs.
Should I choose a fixed or variable rate plan in Dickinson?
Fixed-rate plans lock your supply rate for a set term (typically 3–36 months), protecting you from seasonal price spikes on the ERCOT grid. Variable-rate plans can change monthly based on wholesale electricity costs. In Dickinson, fixed plans currently start at 7.2¢/kWh. Most energy advisors recommend fixed rates for budget predictability, especially heading into summer when Texas wholesale prices historically spike.
