Your delivery utility

Who delivers electricity in Magnolia

CenterPoint owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Magnolia.

Every price on this page already includes CenterPoint delivery charges. If a rate elsewhere looks lower, check whether delivery is in it yet.

Quick answers

Magnolia electricity questions, answered

As of August 2026, plans we offer in the CenterPoint territory average 14.3¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly use, and today’s lowest effective rate is 5.9¢. Advertised rates move with your usage, so price plans at your own numbers.

CenterPoint is Magnolia’s transmission and delivery utility. It owns the wires and meters and restores outages. You choose your retail electricity provider; CenterPoint delivers no matter who you pick.

Yes — most Magnolia addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

Compare effective rates at YOUR usage, not advertised rates — fees and bill credits bend each plan differently. Check the contract length and cancellation fee, then confirm delivery charges are included. The tables on this page do all three, and checkout takes about ten minutes.

Yes. Texas law gives you a 14-day window before your contract end date to switch with NO early-termination fee. Find your end date on your bill, then shop it today — the expensive move is drifting onto a holdover rate.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Magnolia today is 5.9¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh — but a plan that wins at 1,000 kWh can lose at 2,000. Enter your ZIP and usage to see which company is cheapest for your home.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Magnolia

Knowing your usage is the secret to finding the best energy plan for you.

Why does your home’s usage rate matter when searching for a different provider? Electricity providers publish quotes based on benchmark rates rather than customized prices per kWh.

You might be lucky to use the benchmark rate published by your new provider. More than likely, though, you will fall below or above that rate. If you exceed the monthly benchmark rate, your bill might be considerably higher than the quoted price.

Compare Power provides an alternative approach for comparison shoppers.

The site uses your zip code and usage rate to customize quoted rates for available energy plans. Compare Power also publishes fees, taxes, and other charges that could alter your price per kWh.

Your monthly usage rate is the starting point for a customized search for affordable electricity through Compare Power.

An estimate of your monthly usage rate is a viable alternative to specific figures. This might not be a perfect solution, but you can still get closer to a cheap electricity plan than if you choose a plan with insufficient information.

Use Compare Power to find the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Magnolia: Setting up Electricity

Magnolia’s population in 2016 was 1,985, but the city is in the Houston metro area. Once you move to Magnolia, you can enjoy quiet living at home and find events near your backyard.

If this is your first time establishing anelectricity service in Magnolia, it is crucial** to have the previous year’s usage of your home.**

The previous owner or landlord can help you find this information by reviewing billing statements. This might take some time, but you can save hundreds of dollars with lower monthly bills.

With your usage on hand, Compare Power can instantly figure out the best plan for your home.

If you can’t find usage amounts, you can estimate monthly usage and use Compare Power’s “Help Me Choose” tool to determine your options.

Note: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can’t obtain a usage history. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

Switching Electricity Companies in Magnolia

You might be comfortable with your electricity provider in Magnolia. It is essential to shop around for new electricity providers regularly.

While your current provider might be good, they may also use the end of your energy contract to increase your rate. The deregulated electricity market means you might have dozens of better options than your current electricity company.

Switching from one provider to another is easy because a new provider will handle the switch. No calls or home visits are required; the process only takes minutes. Since the poles and wires don’t change hands, your power will stay on throughout the process.

You should consider the following ideas when switching electricity providers:

  • State law allows early cancellation of energy contracts up to 14 days before the previous contract’s conclusion.
  • You may be able to establish a future start date for your new plan up to 60 days before the end of your current contract.
  • You might find a new energy plan that saves you enough money to offset an early cancellation penalty.

You can switch to a new provider with affordable rates in Magnolia in minutes.

Magnolia Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Magnolia was founded in the 1840s as a railroad town along the International-Great Northern Railroad line. The city got its name from the abundant magnolia trees that grew throughout the area, and it served as a crucial timber shipping point during the late 1800s when the East Texas lumber boom was at its peak.

RECENT

In 2019, Magnolia completed a major downtown revitalization project that transformed the historic downtown area into a walkable district with new shops and restaurants. The project preserved several original 1900s buildings while adding modern amenities, making it a popular destination for visitors exploring the northwest Houston suburbs.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star Tracy Lawrence grew up in nearby areas and frequently performed at Magnolia's local venues in the early 1990s before hitting it big with hits like 'Sticks and Stones.' The city also served as a filming location for several scenes in the 2003 movie 'The Rookie' starring Dennis Quaid, showcasing its small-town Texas charm.

DID YOU KNOW

Magnolia is home to one of Texas's most unusual roadside attractions - a 40-foot tall concrete magnolia flower sculpture that was built in 1987 by a local artist using recycled oil field equipment. The sculpture, visible from Highway 249, has become an unofficial landmark and photo spot, though many travelers have no idea it contains actual pieces of vintage drilling machinery in its base.

CULTURAL

Every spring since 1982, Magnolia hosts the unique 'Magnolia Blossom Festival' where the entire town celebrates not just magnolia trees, but all flowering trees in the region. The festival features a quirky tradition where residents compete to create the most elaborate tree-themed costumes, and the winner gets to ring the original 1890s railroad bell that still sits in the town square.
