How to Shop for Electricity in La Marque

Shopping for electricity in La Marque means comparing more than the lowest advertised rate. The right plan depends on how much electricity you use, how the plan is structured, the provider behind it, and the terms you're agreeing to.

  1. 01

    Know how much electricity you use

    Start with your home's actual electricity usage. A plan that looks inexpensive at 1,000 kWh may cost considerably more if your home typically uses 500 or 2,000 kWh.

  2. 02

    Look beyond the advertised rate

    Check how the plan works, not just the rate shown in the comparison table. Bill credits, usage requirements, and time-of-use pricing can make the effective price change significantly depending on how you use electricity.

  3. 03

    Compare the provider and contract terms

    Price matters, but so do the provider and the contract. Consider provider quality, contract length, early termination fees, and what happens when the initial term ends.

  4. 04

    Choose the plan that fits your home

    The cheapest advertised plan is not automatically the best plan. Compare the options that fit your actual usage and prioritize straightforward pricing and terms you understand.

Plan types

Compare La Marque Electricity Plans

La Marque electricity plans can be structured very differently. The lowest advertised rate is not always the lowest-cost option for your home, so compare how each plan works before choosing one.

  • Flat Fixed-Rate Plans

    One rate that applies at every usage level, with no bill-credit thresholds or time-of-day pricing: the most predictable structure and the easiest to compare. It's a solid default for most La Marque homes. The tradeoff is that the flat rate often isn't the lowest number you'll see advertised.

  • Bill Credit Plans

    These apply a credit when your monthly usage lands in a set range, which can produce a very low effective rate at that level. They can suit homes with steady, predictable usage that reliably hits the credit. The risk is that your effective rate can rise sharply in any month your usage falls outside the qualifying range.

  • Time-of-Use Plans

    Prices or credits depend on when you use electricity, for example free nights or weekends. They can pay off for households that can shift meaningful usage, like EV charging or laundry, into the discounted window. The tradeoff is higher pricing the rest of the day, so the savings only appear if your habits match the plan.

  • Renewable Energy Plans

    Backed by renewable energy, and available across fixed, bill-credit, and time-of-use structures. They're a fit if sourcing your electricity from renewables matters to you. Keep in mind that “renewable” describes the energy source, not the price, so still compare the underlying pricing structure. Renewable doesn't necessarily mean inexpensive.

Local market

Why La Marque Electricity Is Different

La Marque, next to Texas City, is in TNMP's Gulf Coast area. Its prices follow Texas City rather than nearby Houston.

  • Higher delivery charges

    TNMP's delivery charges are higher than CenterPoint's, so plans here usually cost more than in Houston. Compare plans for your own address.

  • Same prices as Texas City

    Providers price by utility area, not by city, so La Marque rates generally match Texas City.

  • Hurricane season

    After a major storm, restoring power is TNMP's job, not your provider's. Switching providers doesn't change who restores your power.

  • Summer usage

    Long, humid summers can push many homes well above 1,000 kWh. Compare the 2,000 kWh rate if your home is large.

Local utility

Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) in La Marque

TNMP is the transmission and distribution utility for most La Marque homes. You choose a retail electricity provider that sets your rate and plan; TNMP delivers the electricity over its poles and wires and restores power after outages, no matter which provider you pick. That is why the plans and rates on this page are shown for the TNMP service area.

Current TNMP Delivery Charges

TNMP's regulated delivery charges are included in your electricity bill regardless of which retail electricity provider you choose.

Monthly charge
$7.56per month
Delivery charge
7.7710¢per kWh

Current as of October 2026

TNMP (the utility)

  • Delivers electricity and maintains the local grid
  • Owns the poles, wires, and your meter
  • Restores power during outages
  • Charges the same delivery fees for every provider

Your retail provider

  • Sets your electricity rate and plan
  • Handles your billing and customer service
  • Competes on price, term, and plan features
  • Charges the energy rate you shop for

Report outages to TNMP, not your retail provider. Because TNMP's delivery charges differ from other Texas utilities, the same provider can quote a different price in La Marque than in nearby Houston or in Dallas. More on Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP)

Switching Providers Doesn't Change Your Utility

When you switch electricity providers in La Marque, TNMP continues delivering your electricity, maintaining the local grid, and restoring power during outages. Your new retail provider handles the switch, so there is typically no interruption in service.

Moving

Moving to La Marque? Here's What to Know About Electricity

Most La Marque residents can choose their retail electricity provider, while Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) delivers the power to your home no matter which provider you pick. You can set up service before you move in. Here is the short version.

  • You choose the provider. La Marque is part of the deregulated Texas market, so you compare and pick a retail electricity provider. TNMP still delivers the power to your address no matter which one you choose.
  • Set up service before move-in. You can generally select a provider and schedule your start date ahead of time, so the electricity is on when you arrive instead of being a last-minute scramble.
  • Match the plan to your usage. Choose based on how your new home actually uses electricity, not simply the lowest advertised rate.
