Frequently asked questions about electricity rates in Houston

What is the best 12-month True Fixed rate in Houston right now?
The Cheapest 12-month True Fixed plan right now in Houston is Budget Power — No Gimmicks 15, with a rate of 12.1¢/kWh at 1000 kWh.

If you are chasing the absolute lowest price, some shorter-term True Fixed plans are currently available starting around 9.2¢/kWh.
Why do you focus on “True Fixed” plans first in Houston?
Many of the lowest advertised rates in Houston are actually bill-credit or usage-window plans. They only stay cheap if your monthly usage lands in a narrow band; miss that band and your effective price can jump dramatically.

We focus on True Fixed plans first because they behave predictably: the rate per kWh stays the same whether you use a little or a lot. That makes it much easier to budget your bill and compare providers honestly. Once you log in and connect your usage, we can also model the more complex plan types safely.
How often do electricity rates change in Houston?
Retail electricity rates in Houston can change weekly, and often move most in late summer and winter when demand is high. Providers adjust prices based on wholesale markets, weather expectations, and competition.

That’s why every plan in our tables includes a Last update date. Behind the scenes we re-check EFLs, example prices, and provider websites multiple times per week, and we remove or flag plans that no longer match their advertised numbers.
Is Power to Choose the best place to shop for plans in Houston?
Power to Choose is the official state website where providers can post their cheapest electricity plans, but many Texas residents find it hard to filter out risky offers with hidden fees or bill-credit tricks.

On this page, we only show plans that pass our True Fixed filters for the Houston area. If you want a deeper breakdown of how to use the state site safely, read our full guide to Power to Choose in Texas .

Clear Energy Facts also collects many of the best offers listed on Power to Choose, along with plans from provider websites. For each plan, we download the EFL, validate the numbers, and categorize the plan type correctly so you can see everything in one place.
How do I know if a plan I choose is a True Fixed plan in Houston?
If you find a plan that looks good on another provider’s website, in an online ad, or even on Power to Choose, you can still use Clear Energy Facts to double-check it.

First, download or open the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL). Then compare it using our EFL guide: How to read an Electricity Facts Label (EFL) .

That guide walks you through how to tell whether a plan is truly fixed, a bill-credit plan, a free nights/weekends offer, or something else.
