TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Pharr
Fixed-rate plans
Fixed-rate plans make up 107 of Pharr's 114 listed plans, averaging 14.24¢/kWh, with the cheapest at 6.8¢/kWh. Rates hold steady for the contract term, helping households budget for high summer cooling bills in the Rio Grande Valley heat.
Variable-rate plans
Pharr has no variable-rate or month-to-month plans among its 114 total plans, so wholesale price swings are not passed directly to customers each month. Residents must pick fixed, prepaid, or time-of-use terms instead.
Renewable energy
Pharr has 112 renewable energy plans, 22 of them 100% green, averaging 14.36¢/kWh. The green premium is -0.01¢ against the market average, so renewable content adds little to typical costs in this market.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans are listed in Pharr, averaging 18.65¢/kWh, which is higher than the averages for fixed-rate, renewable, and time-of-use plans. Customers pay in advance and track balances, which may suit households managing summer air conditioning costs.
Time-of-use plans
Five time-of-use plans in Pharr average 15.55¢/kWh, pricing electricity differently by hour. Peak periods often coincide with high cooling demand, so shifting laundry or dishwashing to off-peak hours can lower bills.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans are offered by some retailers in the Pharr market, allowing no-charge electricity during set off-peak hours. Usage must shift to those windows, such as dishwashing, EV charging, or water heating, to realize savings.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in Pharr
As of Oct 24th, 2026, the lowest rate available in Pharr is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 6.8¢/kWh. That is well below the market average of 14.37¢/kWh, and you can compare it against 114 total plans available to Pharr residents.
Pharr's hot South Texas summers drive up air conditioning use, which often makes cooling the biggest part of a household's electric bill. Running AC heavily through long, humid months can raise monthly kWh totals significantly, so choosing a plan with a low rate matters more here.
Single-family homes make up 58% of Pharr housing and typically use about 1225 kWh per month. Most of these households should consider the 2000 kWh tier, which fits their usage well. Green plans are also widely available, with 112 of 114 options offering them at nearly the market average.
Start by comparing plans, since the lowest rate of 6.8¢/kWh is less than half the 14.37¢/kWh market average. Then raise your thermostat when you are away, seal air leaks, and use ceiling fans to reduce the hours your AC runs during hot afternoons.
