Warehouse & Logistics Energy Management in the Houston Metro
Warehouse & Logistics facilities in the Houston Metro run a 24/7 operations with shift-based peaks load of roughly 400,000-1,500,000 kWh/month on CenterPoint Energy service. We put that load in front of vetted suppliers and engineer the contract around how you actually use power.
Warehouse & Logistics Load in Houston Metro
CenterPoint Energy delivers power across the Houston metro and maintains the poles and wires, but it does not sell the electricity — that comes from a competitive retail supplier you choose. The Houston load zone prices separately from the rest of ERCOT, and it runs hot: coastal humidity keeps summer cooling load high well into the evening, and the zone carries heavy industrial demand from the ship channel that shifts settlement prices in ways the North zone never sees. For a commercial buyer this is the most liquid retail market in the country, with dozens of suppliers competing for load of almost any size.
Warehouse & Logistics is one of the sectors that over-indexes in this territory — refining, petrochemicals, port logistics, medical campuses and a very large office base make up the bulk of commercial load here, so suppliers already understand the shape and price it competitively when it is presented properly. A 24/7 operations with shift-based peaks profile at 400,000-1,500,000 kWh/month is the specific thing we take to market, and the contract structure follows from it: fixed, indexed, or block-and-index, sized to your actual baseload rather than to a nameplate figure.
Where Warehouse & Logistics Load Sits on CenterPoint
At 400,000-1,500,000 kWh/month, most warehouse & logistics sites are demand-metered — which means the schedule, not just the rate, drives the bill.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| Secondary Service Less Than 10 kW | small storefronts and offices |
| Secondary Service Greater Than 10 kW | most mid-size commercial accounts |
| Primary Service | facilities taking power at distribution primary voltage |
| Transmission Service | large industrial sites metered at transmission voltage |
Schedule names, demand thresholds and eligibility rules change with each rate case, and the schedule an account was originally placed on is frequently no longer the one that fits it. We verify yours against the actual bill rather than assuming — that check is free, and it is where a meaningful share of the savings on this page comes from.
