How weather affects Katy electricity rates

Like much of Texas, Katy tends to experience hot summers and mild winters. In the summer, when the temperatures reach over 90 degrees, energy demand tends to spike. However, in other mild seasons, energy demand tends to decrease.

Energy demand directly influences energy rates. That means rates will go up when energy demand increases and vice versa. You can save money on electricity by locking in a low rate during the times of the year when demand is lower, such as the spring and fall.
