Getting electric service in Pasadena, TX
Pasadena is in the Houston area and is generally served by CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric for delivery, while you choose the retail provider that sells the plan. Many Pasadena households are older single-family homes, apartments, and duplexes, where insulation and A/C age can push summer usage up, so a plan that fits your real kWh use matters more than a promotional headline number. If you are moving between Pasadena and a neighboring city, confirm the delivery company by ZIP code, since nearby boundaries can differ.
ImportantComparing plans never changes who maintains the lines or answers outages. That stays with the delivery company, and only the supply rate and provider on your bill change.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who is the electric delivery company in Pasadena, TX?
Pasadena is generally in CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric territory. Confirm your exact address by ZIP or call us, since nearby boundaries vary.
Can I compare electricity plans in Pasadena, Texas?
Yes. Pasadena is in the competitive ERCOT market, so you can choose your retail electric provider.
What should I do if the power goes out?
Contact CenterPoint, which owns and repairs the local lines. Your retail provider cannot dispatch repair crews.
I am renting in Pasadena. Can I still pick a provider?
Usually yes, if the electric account is in your name. Ask your landlord whether utilities are included before you set anything up.
What is a TDSP, and who is mine in Pasadena, Texas?
A TDSP (Transmission and Distribution Service Provider) is the regulated utility that owns the poles, wires and meters, reads your meter and restores power after an outage. It does not sell you an electricity plan and its delivery charges are the same whichever retail provider you choose. Your TDSP depends on your service address — in some areas more than one utility serves the same city — so confirm it by ZIP code or call us for a free check.
What is a retail electric provider (REP)?
A retail electric provider (REP) is the licensed company that sells you the electricity itself: it sets the rate per kWh, the contract term and the fees on your plan, and it bills you. In the ERCOT market you can shop and switch between REPs freely, while your TDSP keeps delivering the power, so switching never means new wires, a new meter or a service interruption.
