Texas Electricity Rate: What You Need to Know
Texas electricity averages 15.94 cents per kWh for residential customers as of June 2026, according to the EIA Electric Power Monthly. This is 2.40c below the US average of 18.34c/kWh. The average monthly bill for Texas households is $171 based on typical usage of 1105 kWh.
Texas operates the only US state-level grid independent of the federal interstate system - the ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) grid covers about 90% of Texas load. ERCOT is an energy-only market with no centralized capacity payment mechanism, meaning generators are paid only when electricity is being produced. This creates intense competition: 100+ retail electricity providers compete on PowerToChoose.org (PUCT), where fixed-rate plans of 11-13c/kWh are commonly available. The 87% switching rate from the default utility to competitive suppliers is the highest in any US deregulated market. Texas rates averaged 15.94c/kWh as of June 2026, below the national average. ERCOT's competitive retail market holds headline rates down, but summer peak wholesale prices can be extreme (up to $9,000/MWh in 2021 Winter Storm Uri) and those costs flow into customer bills over time. The 13% of Texas not on ERCOT (far west Texas, parts of the Panhandle) is served by regulated monopolies.
Generation mix: Natural gas 50%, wind 25%, solar 10%, coal 15%. The fuel mix is a primary driver of electricity rates - states with abundant hydro or nuclear tend to have lower rates, while states dependent on imported petroleum (Hawaii) or natural gas pay more.
Year-over-year change: Texas rates rose 4.5% year-over-year as of June 2026. This compares to the US average increase of 5% over the same period.

Texas Electricity: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the electricity rate in Texas in 2026?+
The average residential electricity rate in Texas is 15.94 cents per kWh as of June 2026, according to the EIA Electric Power Monthly. This is 2.40c below the US average of 18.34c/kWh (-13%). The average monthly electricity bill in Texas is approximately $171 based on 1105 kWh typical monthly usage.
What is the commercial electricity rate in Texas?+
The average commercial electricity rate in Texas is 8.66 cents per kWh as of June 2026, according to the EIA Electric Power Monthly (Table 5.6.A). That compares with the US commercial average of 14.19c/kWh. Commercial rates apply to businesses, offices, schools, and retail. They are usually lower per kWh than residential rates, but a commercial bill can still be much larger because of higher volume and demand charges.
What is the industrial electricity rate in Texas?+
The average industrial electricity rate in Texas is 6.58 cents per kWh as of June 2026, according to the EIA Electric Power Monthly (Table 5.6.A), versus a US industrial average of 9.17c/kWh. Industrial customers such as factories, manufacturers, and large facilities pay the lowest per-kWh price of the three EIA sectors because they buy power at high volume, often at higher voltage, under demand-based rate structures.
Can I switch electricity providers in Texas?+
Yes - Texas is a deregulated state. ERCOT mandatory retail choice - PowerToChoose.org (PUCT) lists 100+ providers; 87% switching rate. 13% in regulated areas (AEP, CenterPoint, Oncor, TNMP wires only). The local utility (ERCOT grid / Oncor / CenterPoint (wires only)) still delivers the electricity; only the generation/supply charge is competitive.
What is the average monthly electricity bill in Texas?+
The average Texas household uses approximately 1105 kWh per month. At 15.94c/kWh plus approximately $10 in fixed charges, the average monthly bill is $171. This varies by season (higher in summer for cooling-dominant states like Texas, higher in winter for heating-dominant states).
What is the primary electricity source in Texas?+
Texas's generation mix is primarily Natural gas 50%, wind 25%, solar 10%, coal 15%. This fuel mix is a key factor in the state's electricity rate - states relying on hydro or nuclear typically have lower rates, while states heavily dependent on natural gas or petroleum (like Hawaii) face higher costs.
