Electricity cost in Texas

Texas households need to separate the statewide EIA average from the retail plan available at a specific service address.

Texas residential benchmark15.47¢/kWh

2025 preliminary EIA residential average revenue per kWh; 2024 average use was 1,096 kWh/month and average bill was $163.72.

What changes the real result?

  • All-in delivered rate, fixed fees and time-of-use periods
  • Actual monthly kWh and seasonal HVAC load
  • Plan term, minimum-use rules, credits and early termination
  • Solar export compensation and address-specific production
  • EV charging losses, vehicle efficiency and charging time
DO NOT MIX THESE NUMBERS

Average price ≠ utility tariff ≠ retail offer.

EIA divides residential revenue by electricity sold to create an average-revenue benchmark. Your bill applies address-specific rate rules and fees. In competitive markets, compare the full Electricity Facts Label at your normal usage—not only the advertised cents per kWh.
