Texas electricity rates and electric bills
Homes in Texas paid an average of 15.98¢ per kWh over the last 12 months (Sep 2025–Aug 2026), 11.4% below the US average of 18.04¢; 15.91¢ in August 2026 alone.1 The average residential bill was $170.95 a month in 2025, for 1,110 kWh.2
EIA monthly data through August 2026 (preliminary, released October 23, 2026); annual data for 2025 are final. Next monthly update expected November 24, 2026. Average revenue per kWh includes fixed charges and riders; it is not a tariff rate.
South region, West South Central division
Over the last 12 months Texas homes paid 15.98¢ per kWh on average, 11.4% below the US average, yet 4 of its 4 neighbors paid less; the highest-priced of them, New Mexico, averaged 15.31¢ per kWh. Bills are where Texas stands out: the average home used 1,110 kWh a month in 2025, 5th highest2 among the states, and as much as 1,670 kWh in August 20261.
What Texas pays per kWh, and how it ranks
Over the 12 months from September 2025 to August 2026, Texas homes paid an average of 15.98¢ per kWh, the 25th highest of the 50 states and DC and 2.06¢ per kWh less than the US average1. That figure is EIA's average revenue per kWh: everything residential customers of all utilities and retail providers paid, delivery and monthly charges included, divided by the electricity they used. It excludes most taxes and is not the price of any plan.
In the single month of August 2026, the average was 15.91¢ per kWh, +3.3% against 15.40¢ per kWh in August 2025. Over January to August 2026 the average was 16.03¢ per kWh, +5.6%1 on the same months of 2025. Monthly figures for 2026 are preliminary. For the full year 2025, the final average was 15.40¢ per kWh3.
Nationally Texas sits in the middle; regionally it does not. Over the same 12 months, the residential average in the 4 neighboring states ran from 13.02¢ per kWh in Louisiana to 15.31¢ per kWh in New Mexico; 41 of them were below Texas.

The average electric bill, month by month
The average Texas home paid $170.95 a month in 2025, the 6th highest in the country and $20.27 more a month than the US average. The price is not what sets it apart; use is. Texas homes used 1,110 kWh a month that year, 5th highest among the states, against 874 kWh2 for the US. Over the last 12 months the computed average bill was $178.09, against $157.841 nationally.
The yearly average hides a summer that doubles consumption. Over the last 12 months, use per home ran from 807 kWh in November 2025 to 1,670 kWh in August 2026, 2.1 times1 as much. Texas averaged 2,931 cooling degree days a year over 2016–2025, the 2nd highest among the states with data, and only 1,6404 heating degree days. In EIA's 2020 household survey, air conditioning accounted for 28% of the electricity Texas homes used, tied for 4th highest5 among the states (2020 was a pandemic year).

| July 2026 | 1,583 | 15.88¢ |
| August 2026 | 1,670 | 15.91¢ |
The price per kWh follows a different calendar. Over the same 12 months, the monthly residential average was lowest in February 2026 (15.42¢ per kWh) and highest in April 2026 (17.00¢ per kWh1), a mild spring month. In low-use months, fixed monthly charges are spread over fewer kWh, which lifts the average; in summer the same charges are spread over far more.
Households' own reports confirm the size of the bills. In the Census Bureau's 2025 American Community Survey, the median monthly electricity bill reported by Texas households was about $191, against $169 nationally, and 32.1% (±0.3 percentage points) reported $250 or more, against 26.6% nationally. Only 16.3%6 paid under $100. These are survey estimates of a recalled bill, taxes included. 59.9% of Texas homes heat mainly with electricity, 9th highest7 among the states, so cold snaps also show up on bills, though in the 2020 survey space heating took 11%5 of household electricity, well below cooling.
Retail providers and utilities: two markets, two averages
Texas is a retail-choice state for only part of its homes. Where the wires belong to one of the 6 delivery utilities in the competitive market, every home buys from a retail electric provider; elsewhere the local city utility, cooperative or investor-owned utility sells the power itself. In 2025, 7,054,497 residential customers, 55.5% of the state's total, bought from a retail provider, the 3rd highest8 share in the country.
Both groups pay one bill covering supply and delivery, and in 2025 their averages were far apart. Retail providers' residential customers paid 17.23¢ per kWh; full-service customers of the utilities outside the competitive market paid 13.11¢ per kWh8. The two groups live in different parts of the state, with different delivery costs and different weather, so the gap describes the two markets in 2025, not what any household would gain by moving.

Supply-only and delivery-only averages each cover only part of a bill and different groups of customers; adding them gives only a rough estimate of what a shopping customer paid in total.

| Part of the market | ¢/kWh |
|---|---|
| Utility full-service customers (default service): supply and delivery | 13.11¢ |
| Texas retail electric providers: supply and delivery | 17.23¢ |
Within the competitive market the spread is also wide. EIA counted 63 retail providers with residential customers in 2025; the three largest served 48.3% of retail-provider customers. Among the 38 with 10,000 or more residential customers, average revenue per kWh ranged from 8.03¢ per kWh to 20.86¢ per kWh8. These are past averages across all of a provider's plans and customers, not offers.
To compare current plans, the Public Utility Commission of Texas runs Power to Choose, which lists plans by ZIP code with their Electricity Facts Labels, the disclosure required by 16 TAC §25.475 that shows each plan's average price at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh. Plans advertised with free nights or weekends are time-of-use plans; although 96.4% of Texas residential meters were smart meters in 2025 (7th highest), only 1.3% of residential customers were reported to EIA as enrolled in time-varying pricing, against 11.3%9 nationally. The Texas retail choice guide explains how to read an Electricity Facts Label.
Oncor, CenterPoint and the city and co-op utilities
EIA's 2025 census counts 148 utilities in Texas, among them 61 cooperatives, 17 public power utilities and 9 investor-owned utilities. Two dominate. Oncor carries power to 27.4% of the state's residential customers and CenterPoint Energy to 19.6%, followed by CPS Energy (6.9%), AEP Texas Central (6.1%) and Austin Energy (4.0%8). Oncor, CenterPoint and the other delivery utilities sell no electricity, so they have no residential price; their pages report what delivery costs.
Among the utilities that sell power directly, the type of owner makes less difference than the individual utility. In 2025, bundled residential customers of public power utilities paid 12.63¢ per kWh on average, those of cooperatives 13.17¢ per kWh and those of investor-owned utilities 13.70¢ per kWh. Individual utilities differ far more: among the 61 with 10,000 or more residential customers, averages ran from 9.42¢ per kWh at Kerrville Public Utility Board to 17.04¢ per kWh at Grayson-Collin Electric Cooperative, a spread of 7.62¢ per kWh8.
Bills differ more than prices, because use per home varies widely across the state. In 2025, Austin Energy's residential customers averaged 835 kWh and $109.73 a month, El Paso Electric's 685 kWh and $95.00, and Entergy Texas's, in southeast Texas, 1,237 kWh and $171.838, at average prices within a cent of each other.

A county does not settle who serves an address. EIA's service-territory records show two or more distribution utilities in 250 of the state's 254 counties, and 910 in Lavaca County alone. The boundary maps of the utilities themselves decide.

Flat for a decade, then five years of increases
The Texas residential average was 8.86¢ per kWh12 in 2001 and 11.60¢ per kWh in 2010. It then barely moved: 11.56¢ per kWh in 2015 and 11.71¢ per kWh in 2020. The annual average last fell in 2020. From 2010 to 2025 the price rose 32.8%, the 4th lowest increase among the states, against 49.3%3 for the US.
Almost all of that rise came after 2020. The average reached 14.94¢ per kWh in 2024 and 15.40¢ per kWh in 2025, 31.5% above 2020, close to the national increase of 31.0%3 over the same five years. The last 12 months (September 2025 to August 2026) ran 4.8% above the previous 12 months, slower than the US (6.5%1). Monthly data since January 2026 are preliminary.

Among the lowest prices for business
Texas businesses pay some of the lowest averages in the country. Over the last 12 months, commercial customers paid 8.57¢ per kWh, the 2nd lowest among the states and 38.2% below the US average, and industrial customers 6.65¢ per kWh, tied for 3rd lowest and 25.4% below the US average1.
The two business sectors are moving differently. Over the same 12 months the commercial average was essentially flat (+0.1% on the previous 12 months), while the industrial average rose 6.8%. In August 2026 alone, the industrial price was +12.3% on the same month a year earlier, the 8th highest1 increase in the country; single months are preliminary and volatile.

Gas, wind and the retreat of coal
Texas power plants generated 601.0 terawatt-hours in 2025, the equivalent of 113% of the state's retail electricity sales. Natural gas produced 48.3% of it and wind 21.7%, the 12th highest wind share among the states; coal supplied 11.5%, solar 11.0% and nuclear plants 7.0%13.
The mix changed quickly. Since 2015, coal's share fell 15.5 percentage points from 27.0%, while wind gained 11.7 percentage points and solar 10.9 percentage points, from 0.1% to the 7th highest share in the country. Renewable sources together produced 33.0% of Texas electricity in 2025, against 24.1%13 nationally. On rooftops, 137,8019 Texas homes were on net metering in 2025.

Outages and help paying
Texas customers averaged 225 minutes without power in 2025 counting major storms and 130 minutes excluding them, with 1.71 interruptions per customer. On the all-events measure the state was 22nd lowest14; the power outages ranking compares every state. Outages are handled by the utility that owns the wires, not by the retail provider.
Federal energy assistance per home is among the lowest in the country. Texas received $202.3 million from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) for fiscal 2026, and $173.8 million in the first release for fiscal 2027. That is $17.43 per occupied home for fiscal 2026, the 6th lowest15 among the states. The help paying your electric bill guide explains how to apply and what other programs exist.

Texas electricity rates and bills: common questions
What is the average electricity rate in Texas per kWh?
Texas homes paid an average of 15.98¢ per kWh over the last 12 months (September 2025 to August 2026), across all utilities and retail electric providers, delivery and fixed charges included. Preliminary data put August 2026 at 15.91¢ per kWh1. The 2025 annual average was 15.40¢ per kWh3. These are averages of what customers paid, not the price of any plan.
What is the average electric bill in Texas per month?
$170.95 a month in 2025, for 1,110 kWh2 of electricity (EIA-861). Over the last 12 months (September 2025 to August 2026) the computed average was $178.091. In the Census Bureau's 2025 survey, Texas households reported a median bill of about $1916 for the previous month.
What is the average electric bill in Texas in summer?
Over the last 12 months (September 2025 to August 2026), use per Texas home peaked at 1,670 kWh in August 2026 and was lowest at 807 kWh in November 2025. In August 2026, the latest month reported, the average Texas home paid $265.58, against $209.231 for the US average home (preliminary).
What is the average electric bill in Austin, Texas?
EIA does not publish city figures. Austin Energy, the city-owned utility, reported an average residential bill of $109.73 a month in 2025 for 835 kWh, at an average of 13.14¢ per kWh8. Parts of Travis and Williamson counties are served by other utilities, so the utility at your address decides which figures apply.
Can I choose my electricity provider in Texas?
Only where the wires belong to one of the 6 delivery utilities in the competitive market, such as Oncor or CenterPoint Energy. In 2025, 55.5%8 of Texas residential customers bought from a retail electric provider. Homes served by city utilities, most cooperatives and the investor-owned utilities outside the competitive market buy from that utility.
