CenterPoint Energy 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 neighborhoods off Spencer Highway and Fairmont Parkway to homes near Strawberry Park, so a smart comparison starts with your address, not a single "Pasadena average."
Pasadena sits in Harris County, on the southeast side of Greater Houston, where CenterPoint Energy is the regulated Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU). They own the poles, wires, and meters, restore outages, and set the delivery charges that are the same for every retail provider.
From the refineries along the Houston Ship Channel to the residential streets near Deer Park, South Houston, and the Clear Lake side of town, Pasadena runs on the CenterPoint grid. Whichever retail plan you choose, CenterPoint still delivers the power and restores outages, so you are free to pick Ambit purely on price and rewards.

Founded in 1893 and named after Pasadena, California, for its lush vegetation, Pasadena grew up as a Gulf Coast farming town and once called itself the "Strawberry Capital of the World." That heritage is still celebrated every May at the Pasadena Strawberry Festival, which has run since 1974. Over the 20th century the discovery of oil and the build-out of the Houston Ship Channel turned the city into one of the largest petrochemical and refining hubs in the country, and it remains a major industrial and maritime center on the southeast edge of Greater Houston.
Today Pasadena is the second-largest city in Harris County, home to a hardworking community of refinery, shipping, healthcare, and aerospace families. In a city built on energy, retail choice lets Pasadena homeowners shop the open market for their own electricity plan instead of taking whatever a single utility offers.
