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 Stafford?
CenterPoint Energy’s delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and identical for all Stafford customers, regardless of supplier. These fees cover transmission, distribution infrastructure, and grid maintenance. When comparing Stafford 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 Stafford?
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 Stafford, 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.
