About CPL Retail Energy
Headquartered in Houston, CPL Retail Energy was incorporated in 2001 to supply electricity to residential and business customers in South Texas, including Corpus Christi, Laredo, McAllen, Harlingen, Victoria, and surrounding areas.
CPL Retail Energy is a subsidiary of Direct Energy, the largest competitive energy retailer in North America, serving over five million customers throughout the US and Canada. With Direct Energy as a financial backer, CPL Retail Energy has significant resources and abundant access to credit which allows the company to source wholesale electricity at costs below that of many competitors.
The company purchases its electricity from various sources, including coal, natural gas, and wind. All wind power is purchased under long-term agreements with five major wind farms located in Texas, which have the capacity to power nearly 156,000 residences and avoid emissions of more than 2.6 billion pounds of carbon dioxide annually.
CPL Electricity Services
CPL Retail Energy offers several plans for residential and business customers in south Texas with the power to choose their electricity company.
Residential customers can choose between fixed-rate plans that offer 3 to 24-month terms with low rates that won't increase until the end of the contract term. Month-to-month variable plans are also offered, and include options for discounted pre-paid plans and "free power Saturdays". The company does not have a 100% green energy plan, but it does have both fixed and variable plans for 100% natural gas which is cleaner than other fossil fuels and much cheaper than most green (renewable) energy sources.
