Houston electricity rates at a glance
Prices as of Oct 23, 2026, 10:30 PM CT, for a home using 1,500 kWh in an average month, with usage rising and falling by month the way Texas homes do. Only contracts of 12 months or more are counted here, so every price includes a summer; variable-rate plans are left out.
Houston and most of Harris County get their power lines from CenterPoint Energy, so every plan offered here pays the same CenterPoint delivery charges. Long, hot summers roughly double a typical home’s usage between April and August, which is where plans built around a 1,000 kWh bill credit can cost more than they look.
