Tips for finding cheap electricity rates in Conroe
In Texas, energy is deregulated. That means providers get clever with how they present rates to customers to try to show the lowest rate. You can shop with free sites like Texas Electric Rates to find the best rates and learn more about offers.
Our shopping tips:
- Shop for a fixed-rate plan: In most cases, fixed-rate plans are the best option for customers. These plans offer stability because your rate doesn’t change during the contract.
- Consider switching in late fall: Late fall is usually moderate in Conroe, which can lead to lower electricity rates.
- Check the plan details: Before signing up, read the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to understand the price per kWh, renewable energy percentage, and early termination fees.

Best types of electricity plans in Conroe
You can choose from several types of electricity plans in Conroe, ensuring you sign up for the plan that best fits your needs. While shopping for a plan, be sure to consider your usage, preferred rate type, and ideal term length. Some of the most popular types of electricity plans include:
- Fixed-rate plans: These are the most common types of plans available in Conroe. Fixed-rate energy plans lock in your electricity rate while you’re under contract, so they normally lead to more predictable energy costs each month. Fixed-rate contracts typically last between six months and three years.
- Variable-rate plans: These types of plans do not lock in your energy rate. Instead, your rate will depend on the market cost of electricity, which varies from month to month. Variable-rate plans are riskier because your rate could be low one month and spike the next. However, they’re also more flexible since you don’t have to enter into a contract.
- Green energy plans: You can opt for a Conroe energy plan powered partially or entirely by renewable sources like wind or solar power. Every plan contains a portion of green energy. Some providers offer 100% renewable plan options — enter your ZIP code on our marketplace to explore current green energy rates in Conroe.

- Delivery charge: This monthly fee covers the cost of your utility delivering electricity to your home.
