Your electricity in zip code 77339 is delivered by CenterPoint Energy. Since this area is deregulated, you can choose your retail electricity provider while CenterPoint Energy maintains the power lines and handles outage restoration.
Humble, Texas residents in zip code 77339 are served by CenterPoint Energy's delivery network and have access to one of the most competitive retail electricity markets in the state. Located in Harris County — home to over 4.7 million people and a diverse economic base anchored by the energy industry — Humble shoppers can choose from 42 active retail electric providers (REPs) offering 192 distinct plans this March 2026. With an average household income of around $47,893, finding a cost-effective electricity plan matters here. The deregulated Texas market means CenterPoint handles your wires and poles, but you choose who supplies your electricity — and right now, that competition is working strongly in consumers' favor.
The most competitive rate available in the 77339 zip code this March 2026 is 7.9¢/kWh, offered through the GridPlus 12 plan from Chariot Energy. That's a meaningful discount compared to the area's average rate across all 192 available plans, which sits at 13.0¢/kWh — nearly a 65% premium over the best available option. The rate range in this market is wide, meaning the plan you choose has an outsized impact on your monthly bill. At typical Texas household usage of 1,000–1,200 kWh per month, the difference between the best and average rate could translate to $50–$60 in monthly savings. Pricing in this area is influenced by CenterPoint Energy's regulated delivery charges, wholesale power costs in the ERCOT Houston zone, and intense retail competition among providers.
In 77339 right now, short-term plans (1–6 months) are actually averaging the most competitive rates at 11.5¢/kWh, compared to medium-term plans (7–18 months) at 13.1¢/kWh and long-term plans (19+ months) at 13.7¢/kWh. This is an unusual but not unprecedented pattern — it suggests providers are pricing aggressively on short-term products to attract new customers. If you're comfortable monitoring your rate and re-shopping every few months, a short-term plan could offer flexibility and savings. However, if you value price stability heading into summer — when Houston-area electricity demand spikes — locking in a competitive fixed rate for 12 months provides budget predictability. The 7.9¢/kWh GridPlus 12 plan is a 12-month fixed-rate product, making it an especially attractive option for households wanting both value and certainty.
With 42 providers competing for customers in the CenterPoint service area, Humble residents are in a strong negotiating position. Major national and regional names like TXU Energy, Reliant Energy, Direct Energy, and Constellation Energy compete alongside Texas-focused providers like Chariot Energy, Gexa Energy, Rhythm Energy, Green Mountain Energy, and Good Charlie. This level of competition drives promotional pricing, bill credits, and renewable energy options — including 42 green/renewable plans currently available. Consumers should compare plans carefully, as advertised rates can vary significantly based on usage tiers.
Regardless of which retail provider you choose, CenterPoint Energy (1-800-332-7143 | centerpointenergy.com) remains your delivery utility in 77339. CenterPoint maintains the poles, wires, and meters that bring electricity to your home. Their delivery charges are state-regulated and identical no matter which REP you select — so switching providers does not affect your delivery service or reliability. To switch, simply contact your chosen REP with your ESIID (Electric Service Identifier, found on your current bill). Switching is free, and there's no interruption to your service. Your new rate typically activates on your next scheduled meter read date.
Humble 77339 sits within the broader Houston metro electricity market, where neighboring communities like Kingwood (77345), Atascocita (77346), and Spring (77373) face similar pricing dynamics under the CenterPoint service territory. Rates across these adjacent zip codes are broadly comparable, though plan availability and promotional offers can differ slightly. Summer months — particularly June through September — historically drive the highest demand and price volatility in the ERCOT Houston zone, making March an ideal time to lock in a competitive fixed-rate plan before peak season pricing takes hold.

Lock in a 12- or 24-month fixed-rate plan before June each year. Humble's summers are long and expensive — securing a stable rate before peak demand season protects you from mid-summer price spikes that can hit variable-rate customers hard.
Ask your REP about bill credits tied to usage thresholds. Many Texas providers offer plans with credits at 1,000 or 2,000 kWh — and Humble's high summer consumption often qualifies households for these structured savings if you choose the right plan.
Take advantage of CenterPoint Energy's smart thermostat rebate program. Qualifying Nest or Ecobee installations can earn rebates up to $100 and deliver year-round savings by optimizing your AC schedule around Humble's brutal humidity-driven cooling load.
If you have flexible daytime habits or an EV, consider a time-of-use (TOU) plan. Humble's proximity to Lake Houston and outdoor-focused lifestyle means many residents have controllable loads like pool pumps and EV chargers that pair well with off-peak rate structures.
After any major weather event — especially hurricane season, which peaks from August through October — review your electricity contract status. Storm-related grid stress can cause variable rates to spike; being locked into a fixed plan during these periods provides both financial and peace-of-mind stability.
