TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in The Woodlands
Fixed-rate plans
The Woodlands has 109 fixed-rate plans, with the lowest at 7.1¢/kWh and an average of 14.81¢/kWh. Fixed rates hold the per-kWh price steady for the contract term, which helps households plan summer bills when air conditioning drives high usage.
Variable-rate plans
No variable-rate or month-to-month plans are listed in The Woodlands, so the market count is zero. These plans would tie prices to wholesale conditions and can change monthly, which can raise costs during hot August peaks.
Renewable energy
The Woodlands has 114 renewable energy plans, 22 of which are 100% green, averaging 14.95¢/kWh. The green premium is -0.01¢ relative to the market average, meaning renewable plans cost essentially the same as conventional plans.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans average 19.51¢/kWh in The Woodlands, above the 14.81¢/kWh fixed-rate average. Prepaid service requires payment in advance and may suit customers who prefer to control spending, though deposit and reconnection terms vary by provider.
Time-of-use plans
Five time-of-use plans average 16.41¢/kWh in The Woodlands, with rates varying by time of day. Households that run air conditioning, dishwashers, or EV chargers during peak afternoon hours in summer may see higher bills than under flat-rate plans.
Free nights & weekends
Some plans waive energy charges during specified nights or weekend hours, shifting use away from peak periods. Savings depend on whether a household can run dishwashers, laundry, or pool pumps in those windows, and free-hour schedules vary by provider.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in The Woodlands
As of Oct 24th, 2026, the cheapest electricity rate in The Woodlands is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 7.1¢/kWh, well below the market average of 14.96¢/kWh across 116 available plans. Compare options before switching.
The Woodlands' hot, humid summers push air conditioning use sharply higher, often making summer bills the largest of the year. Mild winters keep heating demand lower. Because typical homes use about 1225 kWh monthly, choosing a plan with favorable summer rates can noticeably reduce costs.
With 74% of housing being single-family homes that typically use about 1225 kWh monthly, a 2000 kWh tier plan is recommended for most Woodlands households. Among 116 plans, 114 are green energy options, so you can choose renewable power without a meaningful cost penalty.
