Pasadena electricity rates
Residential electric rates in Pasadena typically range from 11¢ to 22¢ per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Currently, Pasadena’s average energy rate is 14.70¢ per kWh based on 1,000 kWh of usage.
Several factors affect electricity rates in Pasadena, including:
- Location: Each utility company has its own set of transmission and distribution fees — also known as TDU or TDSP charges. These fees vary depending on where you live, so it’s important to factor in your location when browsing energy rates. You can do that by entering your ZIP code on this page.
- Usage: Your energy consumption habits can also impact your rate. Energy providers often have different usage tiers, such as 500 to 999 kWh, 1,000 to 1,999 kWh, and 2,000+ kWh. Each tier may have a different rate per kWh.
- Plan length: Fixed-rate energy plans come in various term lengths, usually ranging from 6 to 36 months.

Tips for finding cheap electricity rates in Pasadena
Most cities in Texas, including Pasadena, have energy deregulation. Deregulated markets allow consumers to shop around and sign up with their preferred provider. Because of this, providers must compete to win customers’ business — and they often do so by offering cheap rates or other appealing plan features, like free nighttime energy usage or bill credits. With Texas Electric Rates, you can explore your options and sign up for the plan that best fits your needs.
Our top energy-shopping tips:
- Choose a fixed-rate plan: With a fixed-rate plan, your electricity rate won’t change during your contract. This provides more stability and protects you from price hikes in the energy market.
- Shop during off-peak times: Electricity rates are generally cheaper during periods of lower energy demand (such as spring and fall). By shopping during these seasons, you could lock in a more affordable rate than you would in summer or winter (when energy is in peak demand).
- Read the fine print: Before signing up for a new plan, review its Electricity Facts Label (EFL). In it, you’ll find essential information about the plan, including its rate per kWh, early termination fees (ETFs), and renewable energy content.

Electricity rate overview
It’s important to understand the various components of your electric bill to be an informed energy consumer. We have energy experts available to answer any questions you may have — give us a call at the number on your screen for guidance. In the meantime, here’s a breakdown of key energy bill terms to understand before shopping.
What you need to know:
- Usage amount: This is how much energy you use, measured in kWh. Plans often have different rates depending on how much your usage is.
- Rate: Your rate is the price you pay for electricity. It includes a flat base charge and an energy charge per kWh.
- Delivery charge: Your utility company charges this fee for delivering energy to your home. It can vary by location, making it important to shop by ZIP code.
- Bill credit: Some providers offer a credit on future energy bills if you use a certain amount of electricity during your billing cycle.
- Early termination fee: If you’re on a fixed-rate plan, it likely includes an early termination fee (ETF) that applies if you cancel the plan before your contract expires.
- Deposit: If you don’t have a strong credit score, your light company may require a deposit before beginning service. This helps protect the provider if you don’t pay your bill. You can usually get the deposit back (as a bill credit) after 12 months of on-time payments.
