How to switch in Pasadena

Four simple steps

  • Enter your ZIP — see the Ambit plans available at your address.
  • Compare the real rate — the price at the usage level your home actually runs.
  • Enroll online — pick a plan and sign up in a few minutes, no call required.
  • You are done — Ambit handles the switch with your provider. Your lights never go out, and there is no need to contact CenterPoint.

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.

What to compare on every plan

  • Price at 500 / 1,000 / 2,000 kWh — matched to your home size.
  • Minimum-usage fees — charges if you use too little.
  • Bill credits — the usage level where they kick in.
  • Term & early-termination fee — what leaving early costs.
  • Renewable content — the green percentage, if it matters to you.

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."

Who delivers your power in Pasadena

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.

  • Report an outage: CenterPoint at (800) 332-7143 — not your retail provider.
  • Your Ambit plan only sets your price, term, and rewards.
  • Switching never interrupts your power or changes who fixes outages.

What this means for Pasadena homes

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.

About Pasadena

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.
