Utility rules and programs for Spring
CenterPoint serves homes in Spring.
| Utility | Type | Battery and related programs |
|---|---|---|
| CenterPoint Energy | wires company (you choose your plan) | CenterPoint’s solar program page lists an incentive of $135 per kW (cap 15 kW) for existing homes in its Houston territory; that page is not recently updated, so ask before you count on it. |

What to plan for in Spring
- Tornadoes (very high): Tornado-season storms cut power quickly. A battery that switches on by itself, or a portable generator ready to go, covers the first night; sirens and weather radios need power too.
- Hurricanes (very high): Hurricanes can mean a week without power. A standby generator on natural gas or propane, or a battery with solar, beats a stack of gas cans; check flood height before you site equipment.
- River and heavy-rain flooding (very high): Heavy rain can flood basements and take out power. Put sump pumps on backup power and keep equipment above the flood line.
Permits and approvals in Spring
- Harris County Office of the County Engineer – Permits Division (Spring is unincorporated): permit information
- Spring is not a city, so this is the Harris County permits page for unincorporated areas. Power release is requested through the county’s ePermits system; I found no solar-specific page.
- The utility must approve the connection before you switch on: CenterPoint · your own utility’s interconnection page.
- Check any contractor on the TDLR license search before you sign.
Fees and steps change; confirm with the office before you start. We have not verified timelines for Spring.

Choosing an installer
- License: check the contractor on the TDLR license search and that the license covers this work.
- Quote: ask for an itemized written quote that names the equipment, warranties and who pulls the permit and handles the utility approval.
- Compare: get two or three quotes and compare them line by line, not only the total.
