CenterPoint Energy plays two different roles in our Texas sampling. In Houston it's the transmission and distribution utility. Every sampled address gets its power delivered over CenterPoint wires while residents pick their own retail plan, and it's also Houston's natural-gas utility at every sampled address. In San Antonio it appears in a supporting role, delivering gas at about one in five sampled addresses where CPS Energy doesn't. Outage restoration in its Houston territory is CenterPoint's job, whoever bills you.
CenterPoint Energy may require a deposit for new accounts. Watch for a confirmation email once your request is in.

No. CenterPoint Energy is the TDU: it owns the wires and meters, delivers the power, and restores outages ((800) 752-8036). In a retail-choice market you buy your plan from a separate retail provider you pick; CenterPoint Energy delivers no matter whose name is on your bill.
Sometimes. CenterPoint Energy may ask a new residential account for a deposit, decided when the account is opened. Anything owed typically lands on an early bill rather than at signup, so budget for it instead of counting on a waiver.
