Best Katy Electricity Plans by Usage Level

Katy’s housing mix skews toward larger, newer homes in master-planned communities — many with 2,500–4,000+ sq ft. That means higher baseline usage than the Houston average, especially in summer when even well-insulated homes run hard against the Gulf Coast heat.

Gulf Coast Heat + Big Homes

Katy’s larger homes and Houston-area humidity create a double whammy for summer electric bills. A 3,000 sq ft Cinco Ranch home using 1,200 kWh in March can hit 2,200–2,800 kWh in July. Always compare plans at the 2,000 kWh tier if your home exceeds 2,500 sq ft.

Katy Electricity FAQ

Common questions about electricity rates, plans, and providers in Katy, Texas.

How does electricity deregulation work in Katy?

Deregulation means Katy residents aren’t stuck with one electricity supplier. CenterPoint Energy still delivers the power, but the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) certifies multiple suppliers who compete on price and plan terms. You choose the REP (Retail Electric Provider) that fits your budget.

What is the cheapest electricity rate in Katy right now?

As of today, the lowest Katy rate is 6.8¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh, offered by Budget Power (Prime 12 - 6.80¢). Across 39 providers offering 191 plans, rates average 13.5¢/kWh. We update prices multiple times per day.

What is the average monthly electric bill in Katy?

Based on today’s average rate of 13.5¢/kWh, expect about $135/month for 1,000 kWh of usage. Choosing the cheapest plan at 6.8¢ could bring that down to $68/month.

Who delivers electricity in Katy?

Electricity in Katy is delivered by CenterPoint Energy, who maintains the local grid infrastructure. Your supplier choice doesn’t change who delivers the power — only who supplies it and at what rate.

How do I switch electricity providers in Katy?

Choose a certified REP (Retail Electric Provider) and enroll. CenterPoint Energy processes the switch within 1–2 business days. Your electricity stays on throughout — the only change is who supplies your power and what rate you pay.

What happens when my contract expires?

Your supplier is required to notify you before your contract ends. If you don’t act, you’ll typically default to a variable rate. Compare and switch proactively to avoid paying more than necessary.

How do Katy business electricity rates work?

Business rates in Katy factor in your demand profile and usage volume. A custom quote is the only way to see real pricing for your specific business. We can help you compare options from certified suppliers.

Who handles power outages in Katy?

CenterPoint Energy. Your electricity supplier has no role in outage response — that’s always handled by the delivery company.
