TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Edinburg
Fixed-rate plans
Edinburg has 104 fixed-rate plans, priced from a low of 6.8¢/kWh to an average of 14.17¢/kWh. Locked rates keep costs stable during hot South Texas summers, when air conditioning drives high monthly usage.
Variable-rate plans
Edinburg has no variable-rate or month-to-month plans listed, so the category average is 0¢/kWh. Rates in this structure track wholesale market prices, which can rise sharply during summer peak demand across the Rio Grande Valley.
Renewable energy
Of 109 renewable energy plans in Edinburg, 22 are 100% green, with an average price of 14.31¢/kWh. The green premium sits at -0.01¢/kWh relative to the market average, so renewable options cost about the same as standard plans.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans in Edinburg average 18.65¢/kWh, above the 14.17¢/kWh fixed-rate average. Prepaid accounts require advance payment and suit spending control, but balances need monitoring during hot months when cooling use rises.
Time-of-use plans
Five time-of-use plans in Edinburg average 15.55¢/kWh and charge different rates by time of day. Households that run air conditioning mainly in the afternoon heat may see higher costs than on flat-rate plans, so usage timing matters.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans set certain hours at no energy charge, letting households shift laundry, dishwashing, and EV charging into those windows. Weekday afternoon cooling still bills at standard rates, so savings depend on schedule.
