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.

Fixed-rate plans in Katy

When you sign up for a fixed-rate plan, you enter into a contract ranging from 12 to 36 months. During that time, your energy rate is locked in and won’t fluctuate with the market. However, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your contract early.

Variable-rate plans in Katy

A variable-rate plan offers a monthly rate that’s subject to the rise and fall of the market. During some months, your energy rate will increase, while during other months, it will decrease. You aren’t locked into a contract, so you can switch providers at any time. Common types of variable rate plans include no deposit and prepaid electricity plans.

No-deposit plans

Some providers want to check your credit before starting service. If you have a lower credit score or don’t want a credit inquiry, go with a no-deposit plan. You can pay for energy service upfront and your supplier will notify you as your balance runs low.

SaveOnEnergy’s tips for easy electricity service setup

• Don’t forget to read your plan’s Electricity Facts Label before signing up. It contains important information including:
  • Price per kilowatt-hour based on usage
  • % renewable energy sourcing
  • Early termination fees
• Enjoy hassle-free supplier setup. Once your order has been confirmed, your new supplier will set up service with your utility, or transmission and distribution service provider (TDSP) – but don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any interruption to your power during the switch.
• Understanding your electricity bill. Your local TDSP will still deliver your electricity and maintain electric infrastructure including meters and power lines. Your utility fees can be found as TDU or TDSP charges on your monthly bill. They are independent of your supplier rate.
