FAQ

Questions about moving to Corpus Christi

Your retail electric provider sets it. The PUC regulates what the delivery utility charges to move electricity to your home, but it doesn’t set the final price retail providers charge.

It depends on the co-op, since each one chooses whether to join Texas’s retail electric market. If yours did, you’ll likely see it on your bill, or you can call the co-op and ask.
