FAQ
Corpus Christi electricity FAQ
Short answers about this site, contracts, outages, and home battery backup. Review official enrollment documents before you sign up.
Is this the corporate website of a retail electric provider?
No. Electricity For Corpus Christi is an independently operated referral site operated by Crystal Daniel, a Think+ Independent Energy Advisor. This website is not the corporate website of Think Energy or Think+. It is not a retail electric provider, not your local electric utility, and not the City of Corpus Christi. Enrollment happens on the official enrollment page.
Will switching providers interrupt my power?
Official Think+ materials state that switching your supplier does not change the wires or interrupt service. In areas of Texas open to retail electric choice, your local transmission and distribution utility still delivers electricity, reads the meter, and handles outages. Only the company that supplies the energy changes. Official PUCT and ERCOT sources for this market structure are listed in the deregulation guide.
Who do I contact for a power outage?
Use the outage instructions on your electric bill or your local transmission and distribution utility’s website. That utility maintains the poles and wires. A retail electric provider sales line is not the outage desk.
What about contracts and early termination fees?
An official Think Energy FAQ states that early termination fees apply to Texas residential customers (and to commercial customers). Always read the Electricity Facts Label and Terms of Service shown at enrollment. The Public Utility Commission of Texas says retail electric providers must notify residential customers at least 30 days before a contract expires, and a residential customer can switch without an early termination charge if the switch is no earlier than 14 days before the contract expiration date provided in the notice. If you take no action, the provider will serve you on a month-to-month product. Texas rules also say that if you move from the location specified in the contract and provide a forwarding address and, if required, reasonable evidence that you no longer occupy that location, no early termination fee may be assessed as a result of the relocation.
Do I get three days to change my mind after I enroll?
For a switch — changing providers at an address that already has service — Texas commission rules require the retail electric provider to offer a right to rescind the Terms of Service without penalty or fee for three federal business days after you receive that document. The rule states that this rescission right is not applicable to a move-in request for a new address. Read the documents you receive.
Do I buy or own the home battery?
No. Official Energywell and Think+ pages say Energywell installs, owns, and maintains the EcoFlow OCEAN Pro system. You participate in a 15-year battery agreement; you do not purchase the hardware on the terms those pages describe.
What does the battery program cost to start?
Official Think+ materials describe no equipment or installation fee, a fully refundable $99 reservation fee, and a $19 monthly base charge plus electricity usage. This site does not publish a per-kWh price. See current electricity rates and the full contracts at enrollment. Not every home qualifies.
Is there a new-customer gift card?
Official Think Energy pages currently describe a $100 cash gift card for new customers who sign up for an electricity plan. New customers only. Eligibility requirements apply. Those pages state that AutoSave, Maryland, and New York customers are not eligible. Offers can change. Confirm current eligibility and any other terms on the official enrollment page.
How do official pages describe clean energy?
On official Think Energy pages, plans marketed as clean energy offset 100% of your electricity consumption with renewable energy certificates (RECs) produced by wind, solar, and hydro resources. That is not the same as solar panels on your roof, and it is not a claim that your home receives only renewable electrons from the grid. Confirm on the Electricity Facts Label for the specific plan you select. Not every plan is marketed as a clean-energy product.
Does Corpus Christi have a choice of retail electricity providers?
Yes. Corpus Christi is in the ERCOT region, and for customers of investor-owned utilities in ERCOT, Texas opened retail electric choice on January 1, 2002, under Senate Bill 7. On November 14, 2026, the PUCT’s Power to Choose site listed competitive offers for Corpus Christi ZIP codes including 78401, 78404, 78411, 78412, 78414, and 78418. Some edge-of-city addresses are served by an electric cooperative, so enter your exact address on the official enrollment page.
I live on Padre Island or in Flour Bluff. Can I switch?
Yes, for most addresses. ZIP code 78418, which covers Flour Bluff and North Padre Island, showed competitive offers on Power to Choose when checked on November 14, 2026. Enter your address on the official enrollment page to see what is offered.
Is home battery backup available in Corpus Christi?
Official Think+ materials describe the battery program as available in eligible Texas service areas. Availability can differ by area, so the official enrollment page is the place to check whether it is offered for your address.
How should I compare plans?
The Public Utility Commission of Texas provides Power to Choose so you can compare offers, and it requires a standardized Electricity Facts Label so you can compare prices and contract terms in a consistent format. Read the EFL, Terms of Service, and Your Rights as a Customer before you enroll. Our plan-choice guide walks through those documents.
Does this site get paid if I enroll?
Think+ Network’s Independent Energy Advisors receive compensation for Product Partners to which they successfully refer you.
