There are two things that your choice of electricity provider effects: your electricity rate and the name on your bill. Everything else about the way you get your power remains the same. That’s because retail electricity providers in Texas don’t deliver the power they sell.

There are a few regional companies called transmission and distribution utilities (TDUs) that have the responsibility of delivering electricity within a certain region of Texas. Within the Houston area, for example, Centerpoint is the utility. Within the DFW Metroplex the TDU is Oncor.

The TDUs not only deliver the power but they maintain the powerlines for your area. If you have an outage you will call Oncor, Centerpoint or whatever the TDU is for your area.

This makes reliability of service the same for any electricity provider you pick. This allows you to focus on finding the cheapest rate.

About Humble, Texas – More Than Cheap Electricity Rates

Residing in Harris County, the city of Humble is a pretty interesting place. During the year 1905, Humble started an oil boom, with nearby townships and outposts sprouting all around the area. Quickly, Humble became the most productive, highly-yielding oilfield in all of Texas. And the business that resulted would lay the blueprints for Exxon.

Another interesting facet of Humble’s legacy is that the brilliant and eccentric Howard Hughes was born there in 1905, the same year that oil took off in the city. Hughes would go onto become one of the richest men in the country. Maybe the two instances have something in common? Maybe not? But as Humble’s fortune was born, so too one of the most financially successful individuals in American history was as well.

The population for Humble is about 16,000 total meaning that it is only 168th in size, according to recent data. Houston is about 17 miles away on the map. Construction and Transportation jobs are among the most common occupations in the city. And unemployment is slightly above average in the area.

Nearby attractions include, the Humble Historical Museum, San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Park, Sheldon Lake State Park, among many others.

What Does It Take to Activate New Electricity Service?

Here is the information you will need to provide to switch electricity providers or enroll in new service.

Service address – This will need to match exactly with the state’s ESID database so that the provider can be certain they will be turning on the lights at the correct address. If for some reason, they can’t match the address within the ESID database, they may ask you to provide the ESID. This is a unique identifier for the address that will appear on past electric bills.

Credit Information – You will need to provide information for a credit check. This includes your name, SS#, or DL#.

Payment Information – Some plans come with an autopay option. If you are enrolling in such a plan, you may have to provide credit card or bank information during the enrollment process.

Start Date – You will be asked for a start date for your new plan. Same day electricity is possible in some cases. More likely, it will be next day at the soonest. You can pick a date a couple of months out if you need to.

Where Do the Electric Companies Get the Electricity for Humble?

Electricity in Humble comes from all over Texas. The main Texas electric grid is the largest independent grid in the U.S. Texas is the only state in the country with its own electric grid with little interconnectivity with the other main power grids in North America.

This independence means almost all electricity sold by Humble, TX electric companies is produced within the state.

Thanks to a large investment in infrastructure in the last decade, the abundant wind energy generated in the west Texas plains can be moved all over the state to meet demand. No other state has wind energy capacity that even approaches that of Texas.

About 10% of the power consumed in Texas comes from nuclear power. There is not likely to be any new nuclear power added to Texas in the foreseeable future. The economics just don’t favor nuclear power in Texas.

Despite the large and growing portfolio of renewable energy sources in Texas, coal and natural gas still provide most electricity in Humble and elsewhere in Texas. It is cheap natural gas that has helped Humble maintain cheap electricity rates in recent years.
