How this ranking works

Every price above is the full monthly bill at that usage level: the energy charge, CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric's regulated delivery charges, and any base or usage fees in the plan's Electricity Facts Label. "Catches" counts the pricing gimmicks we detect in each plan's fine print — bill-credit bullseyes, minimum-usage fees, required add-ons. Click any plan for the full breakdown, or enter your usage on the comparison tool to rank these for your actual home.
