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 5.7889 cents/kWh.

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. Enjoy long-term stability and price protection. However, fixed-rate plans require some planning. Most providers charge an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel a fixed-rate plan before your contract is up.
  • Variable-rate plans: Your rate changes as market prices fluctuate. When demand is low, you could save on your electric bill. But your energy costs can increase when demand is high. Variable-rate plans don’t have contracts, so you won’t have to pay an ETF if you cancel or switch providers. These plans are best for short-term renters or those who move frequently within the same area.
  • 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 pay an upfront deposit.
  • 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

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 on location. Entering your ZIP code before shopping for rates will help you find accurate pricing for your area.
