Your power to choose electricity in Cypress

Thanks to Texas’s deregulated energy market, residents and business owners throughout the Lone Star State have the power to choose their own electricity rates and providers, including those in Cypress. In contrast, residents in a traditional energy market have to buy power from their local utility with no choice in the matter.

Average residential rate in Cypress, TX

The typical Texas resident paid $175.76 for their power at a rate of 14.92 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in March 2024. This is 10.5% less than the national average, which came out to 16.68 cents per kWh. However, because Texans use more energy than the average American, the average electricity bill in Texas was higher than the national average of $149.95.

Cypress utility companies

Unlike your energy provider, you can’t choose your utility company, which is assigned to you based on where you live. Your utility is tasked with transmitting electricity to your home, maintaining the power grid, and responding to outages and downed power lines. The utility for Cypress residents is CenterPoint Energy. If you experience a power outage in Cypress, you should contact CenterPoint via its online outage tracker or by calling 800-332-7143.

Types of Cypress electric plans

When shopping for electricity companies in Cypress, it’s important to consider what type of electricity plan is best for you. You can find several popular plan types on our energy marketplace.

  • Fixed-rate plan: With this type of plan, you sign a contract and pay the same electricity rate during the entire agreement. Contracts usually last anywhere from one to three years. One advantage of fixed-rate plans is that you won’t be affected by price fluctuations in the energy market. However, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you want to switch providers before your contract ends.
  • Variable-rate plan: This type of plan doesn’t have a locked-in rate, so your rate will rise and fall depending on the market price, which is determined by overall energy generation and demand. Because variable-rate plans don’t have a contract, you can switch to a new plan whenever you like with no ETF.
  • No-deposit plan: If you don’t meet your energy provider’s credit requirements, the company may ask you to put down a deposit before starting a plan. However, no-deposit plans allow residents to skip this initial payment. One popular type of no-deposit plan is a prepaid plan, in which you pay for electricity upfront and get notified when your balance is low.

Understanding Cypress electric rates

Each utility company has its own charges for energy transmission and grid maintenance, resulting in variations in your bill based on where you live. This is why you could have the same electricity plan as a friend in another area but pay different rates. 

Choose Texas Power provides you with everything you need to compare rates and sign up after you input your ZIP code. You can compare electricity rates in Cypress, TX, and sort through features based on your preferences.

Green energy plans in Cypress

Texas is a leader in green energy — it is first in the nation for wind energy production and second in solar energy generation. If going green is important to you, there are plenty of renewable energy plans available for your electricity needs.

Because of the state’s focus on renewable energy, every Texas energy plan uses some amount of green energy. You can consult your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to find the exact percentage.

Some light companies in Cypress, such as Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy, offer 100% green energy plans. These options are great if you prioritize reducing your carbon footprint. If you’re interested in fully green energy plans, just enter your ZIP code on the Choose Texas Power marketplace and filter your results for “green energy.”

What is the best energy provider in Cypress?

That depends on your specific needs. Are you interested in reducing your carbon footprint and purchasing a plan sourced from green energy? Do you rent an apartment or own a home? Would you like to avoid a deposit before beginning your electric service? These are all things to keep in mind when shopping for a new Cypress electricity plan.

 

How can I lower my electricity bill in Cypress?

Some energy providers offer air conditioning maintenance as part of their electricity services, which can be an effective way to reduce your power consumption and pay less for your bill. You could also install energy-efficient lightbulbs or appliances to cut your usage. Another alternative is to find a power company with a lower rate than your current plan using Choose Texas Power, and you can also check out our guide to reducing your energy bill.

 

How does weather affect energy rates?

Like most of Texas, Cypress experiences hot summers with temperatures often reaching the high 90s. This results in higher energy demand as people keep their air conditioning running. And as demand rises, so do energy rates. It’s a similar story during the winter, when rates go up when people heat their homes. The fall and spring have milder temperatures and lower power rates, so it’s best to shop for new plans then.
