Your delivery utility

Who delivers electricity in Katy

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

Katy 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 Katy’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 Katy 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 Katy 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.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Katy was founded in the 1890s as a railroad town along the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad, commonly known as the 'MKT' or 'Katy' railroad. The town's name comes directly from this railroad line, and the original depot served as the heart of the community where rice farmers would ship their harvests to markets across the country.

RECENT

In 2019, Katy completed construction of the $70 million Katy Boardwalk District, a massive mixed-use development featuring restaurants, entertainment venues, and retail spaces built around a scenic boardwalk and lake. This project has transformed the city into a regional destination and significantly boosted local tourism and economic development.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music superstar Renée Fleming, one of the world's most celebrated opera singers, spent part of her childhood in Katy before rising to international fame. She has performed at the Metropolitan Opera over 200 times and sang the national anthem at Super Bowl XLVIII, often crediting her Texas roots for her down-to-earth personality despite her global acclaim.

DID YOU KNOW

Katy is home to the largest high school football stadium in Texas and the second-largest in the United States - Legacy Stadium, which cost $70.3 million and seats 12,000 people. The stadium features a 38-foot-wide video board, a two-story press box, and even has its own planetarium, making it more elaborate than many college facilities.

CULTURAL

Katy has earned the nickname 'City of Churches' due to having over 50 churches within its small 11.4 square mile area, representing virtually every Christian denomination. The city also maintains its agricultural heritage through the annual Katy Rice Harvest Festival, celebrating the crop that built the community and featuring traditional rice cooking contests and historical reenactments of early farming life.
