Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) still owns the poles, wires, and meters and restores outages no matter which plan you pick. Your retail plan only sets your price, term, and billing.
Pricing varies by ZIP and usage from the East End Historic District and downtown to the West End beach communities, so a smart comparison starts with your address, not a single "Galveston average."

Galveston is a Gulf Coast island city in Galveston County, about 50 miles southeast of Houston, anchored by miles of seawall beachfront and one of the largest collections of Victorian-era architecture in the country. Its economy runs on tourism, the Port of Galveston cruise terminals, and health care led by the University of Texas Medical Branch, the island's largest employer. Between the historic Strand shopping district, the Pleasure Pier, and a steady stream of cruise passengers and beach visitors, Galveston blends year-round residents with a busy seasonal economy. In a coastal market where summer cooling drives the bill, retail choice lets Galveston homeowners shop the open market for their own plan instead of taking whatever a single utility offers.
Report outages to your local utility, Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP), at (888) 866-7456 — not to your retail provider. They restore power no matter which plan you have.
