How Electricity Choice Works in The Colony, Texas
Texas is one of the few states with a fully deregulated electricity market. That means most households in The Colony don't buy power directly from the local utility. Instead, you choose a Retail Electric Provider (REP) that supplies your electricity, while the local utility – CenterPoint Energy – is still responsible for maintaining the poles, wires, and restoring power during outages.
For consumers, deregulation creates competition. Dozens of REPs can offer different plans in The Colony, with their own rates, contract lengths, base fees, and green energy options. The downside is that the fine print can get confusing: teaser rates, minimum usage fees, and bill credits can make a "cheap" plan more expensive than it looks.
At American Utility, we compare plans available in The Colony and focus on the numbers that matter most: average cost per kWh, total estimated monthly bill, and contract terms. Our goal is to help you quickly see which plans are a good fit for your home size and usage – and avoid surprises on your bill.
What This Means for a Typical Home in The Colony
Based on recent offers, many The Colony households using around 1,000 kWh per month can expect plans ranging from 1464.0¢ to 1568.0¢ per kWh, depending on contract length and plan type. Locking in a competitive fixed-rate plan now can help protect you from seasonal price spikes during hot Texas summers.

How does deregulation work in Texas?
Texas has a deregulated electricity market, meaning you can choose your electricity provider. This competition drives prices down and gives you more plan options.
Can I switch providers anytime?

How does American Utility make money?
We earn a commission from electricity providers when customers sign up through our platform. This means we're incentivized to find you the best deal, and you never pay us a dime.
Will my power be interrupted when I switch?
