Why choose Think Energy

Official claims, in plain language, before you enroll.

These points come from official Think Energy and Think+ pages. Current plan type, term, price, and eligibility appear only on the official enrollment page for your ZIP code.

Competitive fixed-rate plans

Official Think Energy Texas pages describe competitive, fixed-rate plans with terms of up to three years. Plan type, term, and price for your ZIP are shown on the official enrollment page. This site does not list prices or call a plan fixed unless that is how it is offered there.

Clean-energy REC offset

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 rooftop solar, and it is not a claim that your home receives only renewable electrons from the grid. Confirm on the Electricity Facts Label for the plan you select. Not every plan is marketed as a clean-energy product.

Home battery backup for eligible houses

Eligible Texas homeowners can be connected to Energywell’s home battery program, which official materials describe as having no equipment or installation fee, a fully refundable $99 reservation fee, a $19 monthly base charge plus electricity usage, and a 15-year battery agreement. Energywell installs, owns, and manages EcoFlow OCEAN Pro hardware. Backup duration is not promised.

A new-customer gift card, if you qualify

Official Think Energy pages currently describe a $100 cash gift card for new customers who sign up for an electricity plan.

Home battery backup

Whole-home backup through Energywell — no equipment or installation fee.

Eligible Texas homeowners can be connected to Energywell’s home battery program. Energywell installs, owns, and manages the system, using EcoFlow OCEAN Pro hardware. This is a long-term program, not a purchase of the battery.

  • No equipment purchase and no installation fee.
  • A fully refundable $99 reservation fee to get started. Official Think+ materials say this comes back after your first bill once the system is installed and active, or if you change your mind before permits are submitted.
  • A $19 per month base charge, in addition to your electricity usage.
  • A 15-year battery agreement. Energywell owns and maintains the system for that term.
  • Hardware described by official pages as EcoFlow OCEAN Pro units (10 kWh each, up to four / 40 kWh), with a 24 kW inverter, an 8-circuit smart panel, and a generator connection.
  • Automatic switch to backup is described as under 10 milliseconds. Backup duration is not promised; it depends on the battery’s charge and how much power the home uses.

See current rates at enrollment. Official public pages have listed different Energywell electricity rates and initial term lengths. This site does not publish a per-kWh price. Review the current rate, term, and contracts on the official enrollment page.

Is your home a possible fit?

  • You own a single-family home
  • Your name is on the electric bill
  • The home does not already have a battery or solar system
  • You can meet the credit-score threshold for the market
  • You can use AutoPay and paperless billing
  • The home is in an eligible Texas service area

Official Think+ materials generally describe the program this way. Not every home qualifies. A home snapshot and permitting steps come after you reserve. Check current eligibility on the official enrollment page.

Experiences vary. Backup duration depends on how much power the home uses and how long the outage lasts.

Electricity in Corpus Christi

What’s local about Corpus Christi electricity.

Corpus Christi is in an area of Texas where homeowners choose their own retail electric provider. Here is what that means on the Coastal Bend.

Retail choice across Corpus Christi

On November 14, 2026, the PUCT’s Power to Choose site listed competitive electricity offers — including Think Energy plans — for Corpus Christi ZIP codes from 78401 downtown to 78418 on Flour Bluff and Padre Island, and 78410 in Calallen. A small number of addresses on the city’s edges are served by an electric cooperative, so the official enrollment page checks your exact address.

Coastal heat and humidity

Corpus Christi’s long, humid summers keep air conditioners running for much of the year. Usage stays high for more months than in many inland cities, so compare the Electricity Facts Label at the usage level closest to your own bills.

Hurricane country

The Coastal Bend is hurricane country. Hurricane Harvey made landfall near Rockport in 2017, and the National Hurricane Center recorded a 57-knot gust at Naval Air Station Corpus Christi when Hurricane Hanna came ashore on Padre Island in 2020.

Outages still go to your local utility

Switching your retail electric provider in Corpus Christi does not change who maintains the poles and wires or who restores power after a storm. Your local transmission and distribution utility still does that. For an outage, use the instructions on your electric bill or your utility’s website.

ZIP codes checked on the PUCT’s Power to Choose site on November 14, 2026: 78401, 78404, 78410, 78411, 78412, 78413, 78414, 78415, 78418. Offers change; the official enrollment page shows what is available at your exact address.

Outage-ready Corpus Christi

When the grid goes down, an eligible home doesn’t have to sit in the dark.

Hurricanes, tropical storms, coastal wind, summer heat, and rare freezes like February 2021 are part of living on the Coastal Bend. A qualifying Energywell home battery is designed to switch your home to backup power automatically if the grid goes out — so lights, refrigeration, and other connected loads can keep running while the battery has charge. Battery availability varies by area; the official enrollment page shows whether it is offered for your address.

Switching your retail electricity provider does not change who maintains the poles and wires. Your local transmission and distribution utility — not your retail electric provider — maintains the poles and wires and handles outages. For a power outage, use the outage instructions on your electric bill or your utility’s website — not a retail provider sales line.

No promised runtime. Official materials are clear that backup time depends on how full the battery is when the outage starts and how much electricity the home uses. Constant backup for the full length of every outage is not promised.

Questions

Common concerns, answered plainly

Is this Think Energy’s website?

No. This site is operated by Crystal Daniel, Think+ Independent Energy Advisor. This website is not the corporate website of Think Energy or Think+. Electricity For Corpus Christi is an independently operated referral site. It is not the corporate Think Energy, Think+, or Energywell website, not a retail electric provider, not your local electric utility, and not the City of Corpus Christi. Enrollment happens on the official Think+ page.

Will switching providers interrupt my power?

No. Official Think+ materials state that switching your supplier does not change the wires or interrupt service. In areas open to retail choice, your local transmission and distribution utility still delivers electricity and handles outages. Only the company that supplies the energy changes. See the deregulation guide for official PUCT and ERCOT sources.

What about contracts and early termination fees?

Think Energy’s official FAQ states that early termination fees apply to Texas residential customers (and to commercial customers). Review the Electricity Facts Label and Terms of Service 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.

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.

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.
