Setting Up Utilities in Kirbyville, Texas

Kirbyville sits in Deep East Texas outside the ERCOT grid, and the city runs its own electric utility: City of Kirbyville Light & Power, with a city line crew and its own after-hours call-out number. The state's Power to Choose site returns no plans for ZIP 75956 — there are no retail rates to compare.

Inside the city, you set up power through City Hall on South Elizabeth Street. Outside the city limits, the rural area is served by Jasper-Newton Electric Cooperative, formed in 1943 to bring power to rural Jasper and Newton counties and headquartered on South Margaret Avenue; there, setting up means joining the co-op, and JNEC is who you call about outages.

CenterPoint Energy runs the natural gas mains in Kirbyville, with propane common beyond them. The City of Kirbyville operates water production and wastewater with licensed operators, billed from City Hall on South Elizabeth Street; outside the city limits, South Kirbyville Rural Water Supply Corporation takes over.
