FINDING THE BEST ELECTRICITY RATES IN BAYTOWN, TEXAS

In 1948, the boomtown communities of Goose Creek, Wooster, Pelly, and East Baytown––a group that had experienced rapid development due to an oil boom, formed together to become Baytown, Texas. The success of the famous Goose Creek oilfield, the first offshore drilling operation in Texas and second in the country contributed to the city’s growth, which now has a population of almost 76,000. 

Less than a half-hour drive east from the center of Houston, Baytown lies on the northern side of Galveston Bay. It sits within one of Texas’ deregulated electricity markets, enabling residents to select from a range of Baytown energy providers.
