TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in The Woodlands
Fixed-rate plans
The Woodlands has 106 fixed-rate plans, with the lowest at 7.1¢/kWh and an average of 14.76¢/kWh. Locking in a set price protects households from wholesale swings during the humid summer months when air conditioning drives usage higher.
Variable-rate plans
The Woodlands currently lists no variable-rate or month-to-month plans, so the average price for that category is not reported. Customers who want to avoid this option may compare fixed-rate or time-of-use offerings instead.
Renewable energy
The Woodlands has 111 renewable energy plans, 22 of which are 100% green. Their average of 14.9¢/kWh gives a green premium of -0.02¢ relative to the market average, so pricing is nearly identical for summer cooling loads.
Prepaid plans
The Woodlands has 2 prepaid plans, averaging 19.51¢/kWh, well above the 14.76¢/kWh fixed-rate average. Prepaid plans require upfront payment and can suit households that prefer to track spending, though balances must be maintained during hot months.
Time-of-use plans
The Woodlands has 5 time-of-use plans averaging 16.41¢/kWh, with rates varying by hour of the day. Households that run dishwashers, laundry, or EV charging overnight can benefit from lower off-peak periods, while afternoon summer peaks cost more.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans waive per-kWh energy charges during set hours, which can offset cooling demand moved to overnight periods. Pricing for this plan type is not included in the current Woodlands market data.
