Find the right plan for your home

At that usage level, APGE SimpleSaver 9 at 9.3¢/kWh works out to roughly $114 per month, making it the lowest-cost option among current plans for this consumption tier.

TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Katy
Fixed-rate plans
Fixed-rate plans lock a per-kWh price for the contract term, so bills stay steady through Katy's long summers. Of 106 fixed-rate plans in the market, the minimum rate is 7.1¢/kWh and the average is 14.76¢/kWh.
Variable-rate plans
No variable-rate or month-to-month plans are listed in the Katy market, so the average rate shown is 0¢/kWh. Rates in this category move with wholesale prices, which can change bills from month to month during peak Texas summer demand.
Renewable energy
Of 111 renewable energy plans in Katy, 22 are 100% green, with an average rate of 14.9¢/kWh. The green premium is -0.02¢ relative to the market average, so renewable options cost about the same as standard plans.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans are listed in Katy, averaging 19.51¢/kWh, which is higher than the 14.76¢/kWh fixed-rate average. Prepaid plans require payment before usage, and balances can deplete quickly during hot summer months when air conditioning runs often.
Time-of-use plans
Five time-of-use plans in Katy average 16.41¢/kWh and vary rates by hour, with higher prices during peak afternoon and evening periods. Households that run air conditioning mainly in daytime or early evening should compare hourly usage before choosing.
Free nights & weekends
Some time-of-use plans offer free electricity during set nights and weekend hours, suiting households that shift laundry, dishwashing, or EV charging off-peak. Peak-period rates still apply outside those hours, so monthly cost depends on usage timing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in Katy
As of Oct 22nd, 2026, the lowest rate available in Katy is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 7.1¢/kWh. That is well below the market average of 14.92¢/kWh, and it is one of 113 plans currently available to Katy residents, 111 of which are green energy options.
Katy's hot, humid summers drive heavy air conditioning use, which is the main reason electricity bills climb during the warmer months. Running cooling systems steadily through long afternoons raises kWh consumption, so choosing a plan with a low rate and managing thermostat settings can help offset seasonal spikes.
Since about 86% of Katy homes are single-family residences, and most use roughly 1,225 kWh per month, a plan in the 2,000 kWh tier is generally recommended. Comparing per-kWh rates against the 14.92¢ market average helps identify the most cost-effective option for your household.
Start by comparing plans, since the lowest current rate of 7.1¢/kWh is far below the 14.92¢ market average. Then reduce cooling costs by setting your thermostat a few degrees higher when you are away, sealing air leaks, and using ceiling fans to make the home feel cooler.
