Customers have notified us they are receiving calls from "Centerpoint" who says they will shut their power off unless they call and pay it off.
This is a SCAM. Centerpoint can't shut your power off for non-payment since they are technically not a supplier like Reliant, Pulse Power, Amigo, Ranchero, Constellation, etc. Centerpoint phone # is 1-800-332-7143 or 713-207-2222. If you ever have a question about dubious calls give us a ring (281-742-0241) and we can verify the legitimacy.

Ugghhh---Like most consumer goods, electricity prices are higher this year.
Primary drivers for the increase include:
Last year "energy" rates were below 4 cents. This year the best "energy" rate is over 6 cents. When you add the "transmission" rate (about 5 cents in Centerpoint) the total rate is over 11. Electricity rates will drop if/when:
Natural Gas prices are up almost 10% today, over a $1 in the last month, and over $2 the last year! This increase raises the cost to generate electricity and has added about 2 cents to residential "energy" rates. Add this increase to the September 1 Transmission (Centerpoint) rate hike and customers are getting clobbered with highest total rates in years.  |
