TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Abilene
Fixed-rate plans
Fixed-rate plans lock a per-kWh price for the contract term, shielding households from wholesale price swings during Abilene's hot summers. Of 114 plans in the market, 107 are fixed-rate, with the lowest at 6.7¢/kWh and an average of 14.78¢/kWh.
Variable-rate plans
No variable-rate or month-to-month plans are currently offered in Abilene's 114-plan market, so prices cannot shift month to month under a plan. Households needing flexibility to leave without fees should check contract terms on fixed-rate options.
Renewable energy
112 of the 114 plans in Abilene's market are renewable energy plans, and 22 of those are 100% green. Their average price is 14.89¢/kWh, essentially matching the market average, with a green premium of 0.0¢/kWh.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans are available in Abilene, averaging 18.84¢/kWh, a higher average than any other plan type in the market. Prepaid plans require upfront balance and can disconnect service when funds run out, which matters during August heat.
Time-of-use plans
Five time-of-use plans are available in Abilene, averaging 15.56¢/kWh. These plans vary prices by time of day, so peak afternoon cooling loads on hot Abilene summer days are billed at different rates than overnight usage.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans are typically time-of-use plans offering no-cost electricity during set hours, suiting off-peak laundry or EV charging. Market data does not show how many of the five time-of-use plans include this feature.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in Abilene
As of Oct 24th, 2026, the lowest rate in Abilene is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 6.7¢/kWh. That is well below the market average of 14.89¢/kWh, and it is one of 114 available plans in the city.
Abilene's hot summers drive heavy air conditioning use, which typically raises electricity consumption and bills during peak months. Mild winters reduce heating demand. Choosing a plan with predictable rates can help you manage these seasonal swings.
With 70% of Abilene homes being single-family and most using about 1225 kWh monthly, a 2000 kWh tier plan is recommended. Single-family households should pick this tier, while smaller apartments can choose lower tiers to avoid paying for unused capacity.
Start by comparing plans, since the lowest rate of 6.7¢/kWh sits far below the 14.89¢/kWh market average. Use smart thermostat settings, run appliances during off-peak hours, and seal drafts to cut cooling costs during Abilene's hot summers.
