Your power to choose electricity in Katy

When deregulation took effect in 2002, residents in most Texas cities got the power to choose their electricity provider (instead of buying energy from their utility company). If you live in Katy, you’re part of the deregulated market — and you can use Choose Texas Power to compare rates and sign up for an affordable plan. Get started by entering your ZIP code on this page.

Choose Texas Power is not affiliated with Power to Choose, powertochoose.org, or the PUCT.

Average residential energy rate

Many Katy electricity plans have tiered pricing structures, so your rate may vary depending on how much energy you use. Here are the latest rates available on Choose Texas Power’s marketplace:

  • 12.8 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) (based on 1,000 kWh usage)

Katy electricity rates also vary depending on a few other factors, including demand, time of year, and house size or occupancy. For example, prices are usually highest in summer and winter, when there’s more demand for energy (as people cool and heat their homes). On the other hand, rates often drop in spring and fall, due to the milder weather and reduced electricity demand.

CenterPoint Energy is Katy’s utility

While you can choose your electricity provider in a deregulated market, your utility company is determined by your address and cannot be changed. Utilities deliver electricity, maintain power lines, and restore service during power outages. The utility company for Katy is CenterPoint Energy. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact CenterPoint Energy:

CenterPoint Energy charges a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) fee for delivering electricity, which is standard for all Texas utility companies. Your utility delivery charges are twofold: a monthly base charge and a usage charge per kilowatt-hour (kWh). CenterPoint Energy’s charges are $4.90/month and 6.0009 cents/kWh.

Types of Katy electric plans

Understanding the different types of electricity plans available in Katy can help you pick the best one for your household. Here’s a rundown of the most common types:

  • Fixed-rate plans: You’ll enjoy the same rate during your contract term (which usually ranges from 12 to 36 months). As a result, your energy bills will be more predictable, and you won’t have to worry about unexpected rate hikes. However, fixed-rate plans typically come with early termination fees (ETFs) if you cancel before your contract ends.
  • Variable-rate plans: If you sign up for a variable-rate plan, your rate will fluctuate along with the wholesale cost of electricity. That can make it harder to budget, but it gives you the flexibility to cancel or switch providers whenever you’d like (without paying an ETF).
  • No-deposit plans: Most Katy electricity companies will run a credit check during the signup process. If you have a low credit score, you’ll generally have to pay a deposit on your plan. However, by signing up for a prepaid plan (a common type of no-deposit plan), you can skip the deposit and pay for electricity in advance.
  • Time-of-use plans: A time-of-use (TOU) plan contains rates that fluctuate based on electricity demand. During times of low demand, such as late at night, you can enjoy a decreased rate. However, your rate may increase during peak hours, like mornings and afternoons. This plan could be advantageous if you are comfortable shifting your usage to capture lower rates during off-peak hours.

Understanding Katy electric rates

It’s common for Texas electricity providers to sell the same plans throughout the state, but the rates often vary by location. That’s mainly due to different utility transmission charges and taxes across the Lone Star State, which affect retail electric prices. Before shopping for plans, make sure to enter your ZIP code to browse accurate rates for your location.

Green energy plans

Texas is a leading producer of green energy in the U.S., ranking first in wind energy generation and second in solar energy production. For Katy residents, finding a green energy plan is easy — especially when you use a marketplace like Choose Texas Power.

In the Lone Star State, all electricity plans include at least some renewable energy in the mix — and many plans are even 100% green. You can check a plan’s renewable content breakdown on its Electricity Facts Label.

If you want a 100% renewable plan, consider shopping for plans from Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy. To find them on our marketplace, enter your ZIP code and filter for “green energy.”

How to switch energy companies

With Choose Texas Power, it’s easy to browse Katy electricity rates and sign up for the best plan for your home. Whether you’re a long-time local or new to town, here’s how to secure affordable electricity through our marketplace.

Moving to a new address

If you’re moving to a new home in Katy, contact your current electricity company and ask to transfer your service. Ideally, you should do this at least a couple of weeks in advance. If the provider doesn’t serve Katy (or you’d rather switch to a different company), enter your ZIP code on this page to explore today’s latest rates.

Switching energy providers

Unhappy with your current Katy electricity provider or plan? You can also switch electricity companies through Choose Texas Power’s marketplace. Remember, though: If you have a fixed-rate plan, your energy provider will likely charge an ETF if you cancel during the contract period.
