TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Katy
Fixed-rate plans

Variable-rate plans
Variable-rate plans change the per-kWh price with wholesale market conditions and typically carry no fixed term. Katy currently lists 0 variable-rate or month-to-month plans in the 116-plan market, so this category has no average price to report.

Prepaid plans
Prepaid plans require payment before service is used, drawing usage from a balance rather than a monthly bill. Katy has 2 prepaid plans averaging 19.51¢/kWh, higher than the fixed-rate and renewable averages.
Time-of-use plans
Time-of-use plans price electricity differently by hour, with higher rates during peak demand periods. Katy's 5 time-of-use plans average 16.41¢/kWh, and hot summer afternoons drive heavy air conditioning use during those peak hours.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans set a zero per-kWh rate during specified off-peak hours, with charges applying during other periods. Katy's summer heat makes daytime cooling use a key factor in whether these plans suit a household.
