Your power to choose electricity in Katy

Since deregulation took effect in 2002, most cities in Texas have had the power to choose their electricity provider (instead of buying energy from their utility company). In Katy, you can use this to your advantage by shopping around for electricity rates and signing up with the provider that best serves your needs. To see what’s available in your area, enter your ZIP code on this page.

Average residential energy rate

If you’re curious to learn more about Katy electricity rates, here are some helpful facts:

  • The average residential electricity rate in Katy for 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) is currently 12.11 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh), based on our marketplace data. This rate is 22.12% lower than the Texas average, and 30.60% lower than the national average.
  • In Katy, it’s common to see electricity rates peak in summer. At this time of year, there’s extra demand for electricity as people rely heavily on their AC systems to cool their homes. You’ll often see rates dip in fall and spring when the weather is more moderate and electricity demand decreases. Our experts recommend shopping during these milder seasons.
  • Other factors that impact electricity rates include location, property size, home occupancy, and usage habits.

Best electricity providers

As a Katy resident, you can choose from a number of electricity providers, including 4Change Energy, Cirro Energy, Reliant Energy, and TXU Energy. Your provider is the company that monitors your electricity usage, sends your power bill, and handles payments.

CenterPoint Energy is Katy’s utility

Although deregulation gives you the power to choose your energy provider, it doesn’t let you pick your utility company. Instead, your utility — which distributes electricity to your home and responds to power outages — is assigned based on your location. If you live in Katy, your utility is CenterPoint Energy.

You should contact CenterPoint if your power goes out in Katy, not your electricity provider. You can do this in a couple of ways:

Types of Katy electric plans

Before shopping for a new electricity plan, it helps to understand the different types of plans available. Here are some common options:

  • Fixed-rate plans: You’ll enjoy the same rate throughout your contract (usually lasting between 12 and 36 months), so you don’t have to worry about price spikes in the energy market. Keep in mind, though, that most providers charge an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel a fixed-rate plan before your contract is up. If you’re looking for a stable and predictable energy bill in the long-term, a fixed-rate plan might be a good choice.
  • Variable-rate plans: Your rate changes as market prices fluctuate. When demand is low, you could save on your electric bill — but when demand is higher, your energy costs can increase. Variable-rate plans don’t have contracts, so you won’t have to pay an ETF if you cancel or switch providers, making these plans good for renters or those who move frequently.
  • No-deposit plans: When you sign up for a new plan, most energy companies in Katy will run a credit check. If your credit score is below a certain threshold, the provider might require a deposit. However, with a no-deposit plan (such as a prepaid plan), you don’t have to undergo a credit check or put down any money upfront.

Understanding Katy electric rates

In Texas, energy providers often sell the same plans throughout the state, but with slightly different rates. These fluctuations are due to utility transmission charges and taxes that vary depending by location — and these factors ultimately influence the rate you pay. Entering your ZIP code before shopping for rates will help you find accurate pricing for your area.

Green energy plans

Texas is one of the country’s top states for renewable energy. In fact, the Lone Star State leads the nation in wind energy generation and comes in second for solar energy production. As a Katy resident, you can take advantage of this renewable energy by signing up for a green energy plan.

All electricity plans in Katy include some green energy. Your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) will tell you exactly how much of its power comes from renewable sources.

There are also certain Katy electricity providers — like Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy — that specialize in green energy. You can find 100% renewable energy plans from these companies on Choose Texas Power.

How to switch energy companies

Moving to a new address

If you’re a new Katy resident, you can start exploring your energy plan options by submitting your new ZIP code on this page. When you find a plan you like, follow the prompts to sign up online in just a few minutes. If you’re moving from within Texas, you can ask your current provider about transferring your plan to your new address.

Switching energy providers

If you already live in Katy and are unhappy with your current plan or provider, you don’t have to stick with it. Instead, you can use our marketplace to compare electric rates in Katy and find a better fit. However, you should check your plan’s EFL before switching providers. If it’s a fixed-rate plan, your electricity company may charge an ETF if you cancel before your contract’s end date.
