Texas electricity rates in October 2026: what our data shows

As of October 2026, our data lists 952 distinct residential plan offers (1,107 listings before combining English/Spanish duplicates of the same plan) from 44 provider brands across Texas's competitive utility areas. For a home averaging 1,000 kWh a month on a seasonal profile, the lowest estimated annual cost for a fixed-rate plan ranges from about $1,323 (AEP Texas Central) to about $1,464 (Oncor), and the cheapest-looking plans at 1,000 kWh mostly rank far lower once a full year is counted.

Fixed, variable, time-of-use and prepaid electricity plans in Texas

A fixed-rate plan keeps the same price for the whole contract, apart from limited regulated changes such as utility delivery charges. Variable plans can change price from month to month, time-of-use plans charge different rates by hour or season, and prepaid plans are paid in advance. Most households comparing plans by annual cost start with fixed-rate plans of 6 months or longer, which is what we show by default.
