Your delivery utility

Who delivers electricity in Humble

CenterPoint owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Humble. 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

Humble 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 Humble’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 Humble 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 Humble 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 Humble, every one from a PUCT-licensed provider we work with, priced with delivery included.

How to find the best energy plan in Humble

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing how much electricity you will use in a new home or office is the best way to find power in Humble. Why does this matter?

Energy companies advertise their rates using a single monthly usage rate rather than customizing quotes based on a consumer’s usage rate. Your usage rate might differ from the rate used in a quote, meaning that you may be shocked when your bill is much 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 actual usage. All you need to get an accurate quote is monthly usage for the past year.

Once you input usage, you will see competing plans and rates for your area. Each quote includes fees often relegated to the fine print. After choosing a plan, you can complete the sign-up without leaving the site.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you cannot find 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 Humble: Setting up electricity

Humble’s residents live in the Houston metro area, one of the largest metro areas in the nation. Residents can check out a Houston Astros game or a movie festival or tour the art museum without venturing far from home.

Important: If this is your first time setting up an energy contract in Humble, you need the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past year of usage. This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the previous year may take some effort, but the time and savings are well worth the effort.

Compare Power does 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 evaluate 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 Humble

The energy market evolution means that shopping for cheaper rates is important. You should shop each year for a better rate before the end of your service contract.

Your existing electricity company might raise your electricity rate after your contract.

Check the rates of Humble providers before renewing your contract. You might leave thousands of dollars behind by continuing your existing plan.

Switching is simple:

Your new electric company can help you transition out of your previous contract. This help includes canceling your previous contract and maintaining service.

There’s no need for your power to be disrupted because all of the wires and poles remain the same.

State law allows you to choose a date within 14 days of your current contract’s end to switch energy plans without incurring termination penalties. Some plans allow you to sign new contracts without penalty within 60 days of the plan’s end. You may also save money by canceling your existing plan and starting with a more affordable plan.

All you need is your zip code and recent household usage to start with Compare Power.
