Residents new to Houston will learn quickly that many power companies are competing for their business. While most cities across the U.S. only offer one or two choices for power companies, Texas’s deregulated energy market means options of more than 100 retail electric providers. And that equals cost savings for Houston residents, who can shop for a plan that meets their budget and energy needs.
With all of the available electricity companies in Houston, you may ask, “How do I find the best power company near me?” Do you need the flexibility of a prepaid plan? Or do you simply want the best rates possible? Look to Payless Power, named one of the state’s top providers, for a variety of cost-saving electricity plans in Houston.
With 2.3 million residents, Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest in the U.S. As the hub of energy production and intellectual capital for the industry, Houston is rightly called the Energy Capital of the World.

Houston residents consume more power than the average Texan, thanks to its humid subtropical climate. With an average relative humidity of 89%, it’s no wonder there is an increase in electricity usage during the warmer months. Winter is relatively mild in Houston, reducing usage and electricity bills.
Change in weather and activities means electricity rates fluctuate continuously, so the rate you pay depends on when you enroll in a plan and what the rates are at the time. At Payless Power, we offer both 6-month and 12-month fixed-rate contracts, so once you sign up, you don’t have to worry about day-to-day fluctuations.
