See what the CenterPoint electricity plan market looks like today.

Compare the current billing period's electricity charges and kWh with current market examples at similar usage. A higher bill can come from more usage, a missed credit, an expired contract, or a higher plan price. One month is a useful clue, while a full year gives a stronger seasonal comparison.

There is no single good price for every home. At October 1, 2026 at 11:00 PM CT, the typical estimated all-in bill among current monthly-priceable CenterPoint-area plans was $115.84 at 1,000 kWh, with a common middle-half range of $105.68 to $127.30. This is a live market benchmark, not a prediction for your home.

Advertised average prices use standard usage examples such as 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh. Your estimated cost changes with your actual usage, CenterPoint delivery charges, recurring fees, bill credits, time-of-use rules, and plan requirements. A plan can look inexpensive at one example and cost more during other months.

No. CenterPoint's regulated delivery charges generally remain part of the bill throughout its service territory when you switch retail providers. CenterPoint's current verified residential delivery charge is $4.90 per month plus 6.5333 cents per kWh.

Sometimes, but not automatically. Bill-credit plans can become expensive when usage misses a threshold, and free-night plans can charge more during paid hours. They need to be tested across your actual monthly usage and, for time-of-use plans, when you use electricity.

Apply each plan's verified pricing rules and current CenterPoint charges to your actual monthly and time-of-day usage over the same future months. The Power Made Clear report performs that comparison using your Smart Meter Texas history rather than one standard usage example.

Some free comparison services may be compensated by providers or when customers enroll. Power Made Clear does not accept provider commissions. The $10 one-time price pays for a private usage-based comparison; there is no subscription, and Power Made Clear never enrolls you in a plan.

A short plan may have a lower current estimated cost but requires shopping again sooner and could end during expensive summer months. A longer plan covers more seasons but may cost more. Compare estimated costs within each term group and consider when the contract ends.
