TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Abilene
Fixed-rate plans
Abilene has 105 fixed-rate plans, priced from 6.7¢/kWh at the lowest to an average of 14.75¢/kWh. The rate stays constant for the contract term, which helps households budget through hot summers when cooling drives usage.
Variable-rate plans
No variable-rate or month-to-month plans are currently listed for Abilene, so the average price for this category is recorded as 0¢/kWh. Rates in these plans move with wholesale market prices, which can rise sharply during Texas heat waves.
Renewable energy
Abilene has 110 renewable energy plans, 22 of which are 100% green. Renewable plans average 14.87¢/kWh, only 0.01¢ above the market average, and windy West Texas conditions supply much of the state's wind generation.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans are available in Abilene, averaging 18.84¢/kWh, about 4.09¢ above the fixed-rate average of 14.75¢/kWh. Prepaid plans require payment before usage, which lets households track spending closely during hot months when bills rise.
Time-of-use plans
Abilene has 5 time-of-use plans averaging 15.56¢/kWh, with rates varying by hour of the day. Peak pricing applies during high-demand afternoon and evening hours, so households running air conditioning during those periods pay more than off-peak users.
Free nights & weekends
Some plans provide no energy charge during set overnight or weekend hours, which can shift laundry, dishwashing, and electric vehicle charging away from peak periods. Savings depend on usage timing and on the plan's base rate.

Common questions about energy in Abilene
As of Oct 22nd, 2026, the lowest rate available in Abilene is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 6.7¢ per kWh. That is well below the current market average of 14.86¢ per kWh across the 112 plans available to Abilene residents.
Abilene's hot summers drive heavy air conditioning use, which typically raises electricity bills during the warmer months. Mild winters help offset some of that demand. Choosing a plan with stable pricing can help you manage these seasonal swings in your monthly costs.
Since about 70% of Abilene homes are single-family residences using roughly 1225 kWh monthly, a 2000 kWh tier plan is recommended. Among the 110 green energy plans, one priced just 0.01¢ above average offers an eco-friendly option without a major premium.
Start by comparing plans, since the lowest rate of 6.7¢ per kWh is far below the 14.86¢ market average. Set your thermostat a few degrees higher in summer, seal drafts, and use ceiling fans. Switching to a lower-cost plan can cut your bill significantly.
