Your delivery utility

Who delivers electricity in Cypress

CenterPoint owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Cypress. Whichever plan you pick, CenterPoint still delivers the power and restores outages — switching providers never changes your wires. Every price on this page already includes CenterPoint delivery charges. If a rate elsewhere looks lower, check whether delivery is in it yet.

Quick answers

Cypress electricity questions, answered

As of August 2026, plans we offer in the CenterPoint territory average 14.3¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly use, and today’s lowest effective rate is 5.9¢. Advertised rates move with your usage, so price plans at your own numbers.

CenterPoint is Cypress’s transmission and delivery utility. It owns the wires and meters and restores outages. You choose your retail electricity provider; CenterPoint delivers no matter who you pick.

Yes — most Cypress addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

Compare effective rates at YOUR usage, not advertised rates — fees and bill credits bend each plan differently. Check the contract length and cancellation fee, then confirm delivery charges are included. The tables on this page do all three, and checkout takes about ten minutes.

Yes. Texas law gives you a 14-day window before your contract end date to switch with NO early-termination fee. Find your end date on your bill, then shop it today — the expensive move is drifting onto a holdover rate.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Cypress today is 5.9¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh — but a plan that wins at 1,000 kWh can lose at 2,000. Enter your ZIP and usage to see which company is cheapest for your home.

We currently price 122 plans in Cypress, every one from a PUCT-licensed provider we work with, priced with delivery included.

You have the power to choose your home’s electric provider in Cypress.

Compare Power was started in 2009 to provide free assistance to Cypress residents looking for the most affordable energy plans. We offer the same rates as energy providers offer via phone calls or website materials.

Our quotes are standardized to simplify comparison shopping among all available electricity providers.

This helps consumers avoid unnecessary fees and advertising gimmicks. You can compare plans on a level playing field rather than spending hours on phone calls and web research.

Instantly compare competing Cypress electricity companies

In 2002, Texas deregulated the electricity market to expand consumer choice. The bottom line is that Texas residents can choose their electrical provider rather than relying on a single regional provider as in other states.

The state’s electricity deregulation means that energy companies must compete for your dollars.

As a result, leading providers are battling to win your business. It’s a buyer’s market, and you can use Compare Power to save on your monthly electric bill.

Our comparison tool allows you to see dozens of retail electric plans available in Cypress in moments.

How to find the best energy plan in Cypress

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing how much energy you will use each month is the best way to find power in Cypress. Why does this matter?

Energy companies advertise their rates using a single monthly usage instead of customizing quotes based on your usage rate.

Your usage rate might be different than the rate used in a quote, meaning that your actual bill may be higher or lower than the quoted rate.

Compare Power offers a better way to shop energy plans because the site allows you to compare plans based on your actual usage.

All you need to get an accurate quote is your monthly usage for the past year.

Once you input your usage, you will see competing plans and rates based on your usage.

Each quote includes fees often left out by other comparison tools. After choosing a plan, you can complete the signup without leaving the site.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire your previous year’s usage or own a new home, the next best thing is to estimate your monthly usage.

While not perfect, estimating your average monthly usage is better than selecting the first plan you see advertised at a rate that doesn’t match your needs.

Use Compare Power to find the best energy plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Cypress: Setting up electricity

Cypress has grown from a quiet rural place to a major suburb in short order.

Anyone living in Cypress can drive a half hour to reach downtown Houston or enjoy the serenity of surrounding communities.

The Houston area offers professional sports like the NFL’s Houston Texans, the NBA’s Houston Rockets, and MLS’s Houston Dynamo.

Corporate headquarters for Shell, Waste Management, Enterprise, and CenterPoint Energy are a short drive from Cyprus.

Important: If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Cypress, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is easily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, but the time and savings will be well worth it.

Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: If you can’t obtain a usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. Utilize the “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below to receive help evaluating your usage.

Sign up for a plan instantly through Compare Power. The site reminds you when it is time to come back to switch your plan.

Switching electricity companies in Cypress

Choosing a new electric provider is worthwhile. Because market conditions change daily, you must shop for a better price every year toward the end of your contract.

Your existing electricity company will typically increase your electricity rate as your contract expires.

Before renewing your contract, shop around for better deals from other providers. Switching your provider can save significant amounts of money on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

When you switch providers, your new company will handle everything, including canceling your former plan.

You won’t experience a loss of power because the wires and poles delivering power to your home will not change.

State law allows you to cancel your power plan within 14 days of your contract’s end without an early cancellation policy.

It’s possible to set a future start date with most providers within 60 days of the end of your contract.

Even if you have more than 60 days on your contract, it’s possible that switching providers and paying a fee is more cost-effective than staying with an expensive plan.

If you are unsure, email us your latest energy bill, and one of our team members will get back to you promptly with your best options.

To get started, you need your household power usage for the past year to get the best quotes.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Cypress was originally settled in the 1840s by German immigrants who were drawn to the area's abundant cypress trees along the creeks and bayous. The community was named after these towering bald cypress trees that dominated the landscape, and early settlers built their homes and businesses using the naturally rot-resistant cypress lumber. The arrival of the Missouri Pacific Railroad in the 1870s transformed Cypress from a small farming community into a vital shipping point for timber and agricultural products.

RECENT

Between 2010 and 2020, Cypress experienced explosive growth with its population increasing by over 40%, making it one of the fastest-growing communities in the Houston metropolitan area. Major developments like Bridgeland and Towne Lake have added thousands of new homes, while the Grand Parkway (State Highway 99) completion in 2016 dramatically improved connectivity to downtown Houston and other suburbs. This growth has attracted major retailers and restaurants, transforming Cypress from a rural area into a thriving suburban destination.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music superstar Kenny Rogers was born and raised in Cypress before becoming one of the best-selling music artists of all time with hits like 'The Gambler' and 'Lady.' Rogers often spoke fondly of his humble beginnings in Cypress, where he learned to play guitar and performed at local venues before achieving international fame. The area also produced NFL quarterback Case Keenum, who attended Cy-Fair High School and went on to play for multiple NFL teams including leading the Minnesota Vikings to the NFC Championship game.

DID YOU KNOW

Cypress sits atop one of the largest underground freshwater reservoirs in Texas, known as the Chicot Aquifer, which extends down nearly 1,000 feet below the surface. This massive aquifer system has been crucial to the area's development, providing abundant water for both residential and agricultural use for over 150 years. Interestingly, many of the area's lakes and ponds are actually former gravel mining pits that filled with groundwater, creating the scenic waterfront communities that now define much of Cypress's landscape.

CULTURAL

Cypress has become famous for its elaborate Halloween and Christmas light displays, with entire neighborhoods competing to create the most spectacular decorations that draw visitors from across the Houston area. The tradition started in the 1990s when a few families began coordinating their holiday displays, and it has since evolved into massive community-wide events featuring synchronized music, professional-grade lighting, and themed decorations. Some streets in Cypress now attract thousands of visitors during the holiday seasons, with local news stations regularly featuring the displays and families planning their decorating efforts months in advance.
