How to switch in Katy

Four simple steps

  • Enter your ZIP — see the Ambit plans available at your address.
  • Compare the real rate — the price at the usage level your home actually runs.
  • Enroll online — pick a plan and sign up in a few minutes, no call required.
  • You are done — Ambit handles the switch with your provider. Your lights never go out, and there is no need to contact CenterPoint.

CenterPoint Energy still owns the poles, wires, and meters and restores outages no matter which plan you pick. Your retail plan only sets your price, term, and billing.

What to compare on every plan

  • Price at 500 / 1,000 / 2,000 kWh — matched to your home size.
  • Minimum-usage fees — charges if you use too little.
  • Bill credits — the usage level where they kick in.
  • Term & early-termination fee — what leaving early costs.
  • Renewable content — the green percentage, if it matters to you.

Pricing varies by ZIP and usage from Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch to Old Katy and Nottingham Country, so a smart comparison starts with your address, not a single "Katy average."

Who delivers your power in Katy

Katy sits at the tripoint of Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties on the western edge of Greater Houston, where CenterPoint Energy is the regulated Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU). They own the poles, wires, and meters, restore outages, and set the delivery charges that are the same for every retail provider.

  • Report an outage: CenterPoint at (800) 332-7143 — not your retail provider.
  • Your Ambit plan only sets your price, term, and rewards.
  • Switching never interrupts your power or changes who fixes outages.

What this means for Katy homes

From Cinco Ranch to Old Katy, the Katy area runs on the CenterPoint grid. Whichever retail plan you choose, CenterPoint still delivers the power and restores outages, so you are free to pick Ambit purely on price and rewards.

About Katy

Katy is a fast-growing suburban community on the western edge of Greater Houston, straddling the point where Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller counties meet along Interstate 10. Once a rural rice-farming town built around the old railroad depot in what is now Old Katy, it has grown into one of the most sought-after places to live in the region, anchored by the highly rated Katy Independent School District. Master-planned communities such as Cinco Ranch and Cross Creek Ranch have drawn tens of thousands of families with their parks, trails, and amenities, while the nearby Energy Corridor and major employers like BP keep the local economy tied closely to the energy industry. In a market built on energy, Texas retail choice lets Katy homeowners shop the open market for their own plan instead of taking whatever a single utility offers.
