    Safe-Rate™ Score: 2.0 out of 10

    Our Safe-Rate™ Score for this plan is considered Low.

    A lower Safe-Rate™ score indicates more pricing volatility and less predictable bills from month-to-month.

    The table below estimates what your average price per kWh would be for different monthly energy usage:

    TruBill™ Estimations

    Using our TruBill™ algorithm, we estimate your monthly electricity bill based on typical home energy usage.

    Minimum and maximum bills reflect normal seasonal changes (summer AC vs. mild weather), and the average bill represents the midpoint across those seasonal differences.

    Our Assessment:

    This is a "Bill Credit" plan, it includes a 15.5¢ per kWh energy charge, which is offset by a $125.00 bill credit if you use at least 1000kWh of energy per month. If you do not qualify for the bill credit, your bill could be larger than expected.

    For a more predictable bill, you should choose a "Fixed Rate" plan.

    Plan Renewal:

    If you order this plan and start it today, you will be up for renewal 12 months from now in January of 2027.

    Since this plan expires in January, you can take advantage of seasonally lower rates when you renew.

    Electricity rates are generally highest from June through September.

    Our Assessment:

    This is a "No Gimmicks" Fixed Rate plan which means you have a consistent energy charge of 6.6¢ per kWh no matter how much (or little) energy you use.

    You will have more predictable bill based solely on your usage.

    Plan Renewal:

    If you order this plan and start it today, you will be up for renewal 18 months from now in July of 2027.

    You might consider a different length plan, because this plan will expire in July when rates are seasonally higher.

    Electricity rates are generally highest from June through September.

    Electricity Plan Types in Houston

    Now that we have explained TDSP rates, the second thing to consider is the type of electricity plans a customer can buy. Each plan will likely end up having different rate scales. There are three types of electricity plans you can choose from when selecting an energy plan that best fits your needs.

    Fixed Rate Electricity Plan in Houston

    Lock in low energy rates for a period of months ranging from 9 to 36. Be aware that these contracts typically charge an early termination fee if you switch before your term ends.

    Variable Rate Electricity Plan in Houston

    Month to month contracts with rates that vary. You won't have to worry about deposits or early termination fees, but rates can decrease or increase from month to month.

    Pre-Paid Electricity Plan in Houston

    You deposit money into an account that your energy company bills directly depending on your use. Keep in mind there are often daily charges with these plans. Rates typically change from month to month.

    There are other kinds of plans, such as green plans, or plans that come bundled with things like Smart Thermostats, but for the most part, these three plans are the main three kinds of choices available.

    How to Switch Electricity Companies in Houston?

    Switching Electricity companies is simple and seamless with no interruption in service.

    1. When is it Time To Switch Your Power Company: Check your electricity company contract's end date, if you're within 45 days you may forward switch, or within 14 days you can switch without penalty. Your retail electric provider is required to notify you at least 30 days before a contract expires.
    2. Compare electricity rates Houston:If you can find a cheap new rate is dramatically lower it may be worthwhile to switch early and pay the ETF. Lets say youre on a 17 cent rate and youve found a great 11 cent rate. At 2000kWh per month at 17 cents is $340 and 2000kWh at 11 cents is $220. You could save $120 in the first month - so the $60 ETF is worth taking a hit on.
    3. Switch Electricity Company: Once you find a great Houston electricity rate and want to lock it in, you can schedule a forward switch up to 45 days in advance. Ensure you get proof of switch order and date, (you should get an email) and retain any emails for your records.
