TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Edinburg
Fixed-rate plans
Fixed-rate plans lock a per-kWh price for the contract term, keeping monthly charges predictable. In Edinburg, 107 of 114 plans are fixed-rate, averaging 14.24¢/kWh, with the lowest listed at 6.8¢/kWh.
Variable-rate plans
Variable-rate plans adjust per-kWh prices with wholesale market conditions and typically carry no fixed contract term. Edinburg currently lists zero variable-rate or month-to-month plans in the 114-plan market, so residents seeking this structure have no local options.
Renewable energy
Renewable energy plans source electricity from wind or solar generation, and 112 of the 114 Edinburg plans offer this option. Twenty-two are 100% green, averaging 14.36¢/kWh, while the reported green premium is -0.01¢ against the market average.
Prepaid plans
Prepaid plans require payment before service is used, and a depleted balance can cause disconnection, a risk during Rio Grande Valley summer heat when cooling loads run high. Edinburg has 2 prepaid plans, averaging 18.65¢/kWh.
Time-of-use plans
Time-of-use plans vary per-kWh rates by hour, with higher prices during peak demand periods. Edinburg has 5 time-of-use plans averaging 15.55¢/kWh, and households running air conditioning in afternoons and evenings may see different costs than on fixed-rate plans.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans waive energy charges during set hours, so usage shifted to those periods, such as laundry or pool pumps, may cost less. Market data here lacks a count or average rate for this type.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in Edinburg
As of Oct 24th, 2026, the cheapest electricity rate in Edinburg is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 6.8¢/kWh, well below the market average of 14.37¢/kWh. With 114 plans available, including 112 green energy options, Edinburg residents have plenty of choices to compare.
Edinburg's hot, humid summers drive heavy air conditioning use, which is the biggest factor raising electricity costs. Because most homes use about 1225 kWh monthly, cooling demand can push bills noticeably higher during peak summer months, especially for single-family homes.
Since single-family homes make up 58% of Edinburg housing and typically use about 1225 kWh monthly, a plan tier around 2000 kWh is recommended. Consider one of the 112 green energy plans, which are priced nearly identical to the market average, so you gain sustainability without overpaying.
Switch to a plan with a lower rate, such as APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 6.8¢/kWh, compared with the 14.37¢/kWh market average. Also, run air conditioning efficiently, set thermostats higher in summer, and use efficient appliances to reduce monthly kWh usage.
