Houston Electricity Rates & Plans (Texas)
Most Houston shoppers compare one number at 1,000 kWh. That misses the real pricing behavior. In Houston, plan rankings can change dramatically across 500, 1,000, and 1,500+ kWh.
How to compare plans correctly
- Check cost at 500, 1,000, and 1,500+ kWh.
- Separate regulated delivery charges from provider-controlled pricing.
- Watch for bill-credit cliffs and minimum usage fees.
- Review contract term and early termination fee before enrollment.
Usage-tier reality check
500 kWh: base charges and fee structure matter most.
1,000 kWh: promo credits can make some plans look best in a narrow band.
1,500+ kWh: energy charge per kWh typically dominates your monthly total.
