Your electricity in zip code 77004 is delivered by CenterPoint Energy. Since this area is deregulated, you can choose your retail electricity provider while CenterPoint Energy maintains the power lines and handles outage restoration.
Houston's 77004 zip code — covering Midtown, Museum District, and parts of Third Ward — enjoys the full benefits of Texas's deregulated electricity market. In March 2026, residents here have access to plans from 9 local providers, all delivering power through CenterPoint Energy's reliable grid infrastructure. With average rates sitting around 9.8¢/kWh and the lowest available plan starting at just 7.9¢/kWh, now is an excellent time to compare your options and potentially save hundreds of dollars annually on your electricity bill.
If you live in the 77004 zip code, you're served by CenterPoint Energy (CNPT) as your Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP). CenterPoint handles the physical delivery of electricity — maintaining power lines and responding to outages — while competitive retail providers handle your actual electricity supply and pricing.
As of March 2026, the electricity landscape in the CenterPoint Energy service area looks like this:
1. Lock in a fixed rate now. Spring energy prices in Houston can shift as summer cooling demand approaches. A fixed-rate plan protects you from rate spikes through the hottest months.
2. Match your contract length to your lease. If you're renting in Midtown or near the Museum District, choose a plan term that aligns with your housing situation to avoid early termination fees.
3. Watch for bill credits. Many providers offer monthly usage-based credits (e.g., a $50 credit if you use between 1,000–2,000 kWh), which can dramatically lower your effective rate.
4. Contact CenterPoint for outages. For power outages or line emergencies, call CenterPoint Energy directly at 1-800-332-7143 or visit [centerpointenergy.com](https://www.centerpointenergy.com). Your retail provider cannot restore power — that's always CenterPoint's responsibility.
Comparing all available plans side by side is the fastest way to find savings in 77004 this March.
