Your power to choose electricity in Pasadena
Like most of Texas, if you live in Pasadena, your home or business is located in a deregulated energy market. Unlike traditional markets where your utility company sells electricity, you have the power to choose your electricity company and rates. Many providers compete to offer the best Texas electricity rates and deals, which helps give you more flexibility to customize your energy plan.

Pasadena utility companies and energy providers
In deregulated parts of Texas, utilities (also called electric suppliers) transmit and deliver power, maintain power infrastructure, and respond to power outages. Your utility is determined based on where you live. In Pasadena, your utility is CenterPoint Energy.
Energy providers, also known as electricity companies, generate power and sell it to Pasadena residents through an electricity plan. Since Pasadena is a deregulated area, you can choose your provider. Trusted Pasadena electricity providers include Constellation Energy, Pulse Power, and TXU Energy.

Types of electricity plans in Pasadena
When looking for a new energy plan in Pasadena, you’ll come across several different plan types on the Choose Energy marketplace. Here’s a breakdown of the types of energy plans available to help you understand energy lingo:
- Fixed-rate plans: Fixed-rate plans are a great option if you’re looking for rate consistency. These plans come with a secure rate, meaning that the price you pay per kilowatt-hour (kWh) won’t change for the duration of your contract, which is typically 12, 24, or 36 months. Fixed-rate plans generally require you to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your contract early unless you show proof of moving.
- Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans don’t have contracts, so you’re free to switch providers at any time without penalty. Your monthly rate will depend on the current wholesale energy prices, which can fluctuate from month-to-month depending on demand. As a result, you could get cheap electricity one month but pay higher rates the next.
- Prepaid and no-deposit plans: If you don’t have a high credit score, you may be required to pay a deposit on your electricity service, unless you sign up for a no-deposit plan. Prepaid electricity plans are a type of no-deposit plan that lets you pay for your energy usage upfront each month. These plans allow you to refill your balance as needed and pay as you go. Enter your ZIP code to compare prepaid plans in Pasadena.

The exact amount depends on your plan and provider, and you can find the details on your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL). If you choose a specialty provider like Gexa Energy or Green Mountain Energy, your plan will contain 100% green energy.
