Cheapest electricity in Houston

The cheapest electricity plan we have priced for Houston at 500 kWh a month is Octopus Energy Octo Simple 3 at 10.3¢/kWh at 500 kWh a month on CenterPoint (10.3¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh, 10.3¢/kWh at 2,000 kWh, fixed rate, 3 months), as listed on Power to Choose on 2026-11-14. Houston is in Harris County, where EIA-861 records CenterPoint as the competitive delivery utility.

Ranked on the average price at 500 kWh a month, one of the three usage points every Texas Electricity Facts Label must state; the other two figures are on every row because a plan priced for one is often dear at another.

Related questions

Which utility delivers electricity in Houston?
Houston is in Harris County, where EIA-861 records CenterPoint as the competitive delivery utility. Which one serves a particular address is the utility's own lookup to answer; the ZIP check on this page shows every utility EIA records in a ZIP's counties.
Why rank at 1,000 kWh?
Texas requires every Electricity Facts Label to state the average price at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh a month. The middle point is the one the three usages share, and the other two are shown on every row so a low headline bought with a usage credit is visible.
