Why choose renewable energy?
Renewable energy is 100% pollution-free, created from renewable sources (like the wind and the sun) that are naturally replenished and virtually inexhaustible. It’s squeaky clean!
Choosing clean energy helps make a difference by supporting the development of new pollution-free generation facilities around the country. To date, Green Mountain customers’ demand has helped lead the development of 50+ new wind and solar facilities across the U.S.

The power to choose in Texas
When the Texas Legislature restructured the retail electricity market in 2002, it gave CenterPoint residents like you the power to choose your preferred Retail Electric Provider (REP). Houston-area electricity consumers benefit from this market competition through lower prices, better customer service, more incentives offered by REPs and, in the case of Green Mountain, the option to choose 100% clean, renewable energy.
More about Transmission and Distribution Service Providers
No matter which company you choose to supply your electricity, there is only one Transmission and Distribution Service Provider (TDSP) in a given area. A TDSP maintains the region’s poles and wires, responds to power outages and reads meters. CenterPoint Energy is the TDSP in Houston and the surrounding areas, including Angleton, Alvin, Cypress, Galveston, Pasadena and Richmond.
How CenterPoint Energy and Green Mountain Energy are connected
CenterPoint Energy maintains all the wires, poles and electric infrastructure in the 5,000-square-mile Houston metropolitan area. Its employees ensure the reliable delivery of power from power plants to homes and businesses, but the company does not generate or sell power to its customers. That falls to Retail Electric Providers (REPs) such as Green Mountain Energy — the nation’s leading competitive retail provider of clean energy from renewable natural resources.
