ENERGY RATES IN TEMPLE
Today’s lowest electricity rates in Temple
Temple residents choose their electricity provider because Texas deregulated its electric market, separating power generation from the wires that deliver it. The local utility still maintains the lines, so your choice affects only the energy charge on your bill. Currently 112 plans are available, including 106 fixed-rate plans, 110 renewable energy options, 4 time-of-use plans, and 2 prepaid plans. Rates range from 7.2¢ to 22.57¢ per kWh, with an average of 15.27¢. Because 65% of Temple homes are single-family houses using about 1,225 kWh per month, that usage level is the most useful benchmark for comparing plan prices.

TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Temple
Fixed-rate plans
106 of 112 Temple plans are fixed-rate, averaging 15.16¢/kWh with a lowest listed rate of 7.2¢/kWh. Rates hold steady for the contract term, helping Temple households budget through hot summers when cooling demand rises.
Variable-rate plans
No variable-rate or month-to-month plans are listed in Temple, out of 112 total plans. Rates on such plans would change with wholesale market prices, which can rise during August heat when air conditioning drives peak demand across Central Texas.
Renewable energy
110 of 112 Temple plans include renewable energy, and 22 are 100% green. Renewable plans average 15.25¢/kWh, and the green premium relative to market average is listed at -0.02¢, so green pricing costs about the same as standard offerings.
Prepaid plans
Two of the 112 Temple plans are prepaid, averaging 19.68¢/kWh, which is higher than the fixed-rate average of 15.16¢/kWh. Prepaid plans require upfront payment and may disconnect service when the balance runs out, so account balances need monitoring during summer.
Time-of-use plans
Four Temple plans are time-of-use, averaging 15.96¢/kWh and charging different rates by time of day. Rates typically rise during afternoon and evening peak hours, when Temple's summer cooling load is highest, so usage timing affects the bill.
Free nights & weekends
No free nights and weekends plans appear in the Temple market data. These plans usually set zero or reduced rates during specified hours, suiting households that shift laundry, dishwashing, or EV charging to late evenings and weekends.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in Temple
As of Oct 22nd, 2026, the lowest rate in Temple is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 7.2¢/kWh. That is well below the market average of 15.27¢/kWh, so Temple shoppers have access to significant savings among the 112 plans currently available.
Temple's hot Central Texas summers drive heavy air conditioning use, which raises electricity consumption and bills, especially in July and August. Mild winters help offset some costs. Choosing a plan with a fixed rate can protect you from summer price spikes.

Start by comparing plans, since the cheapest option is 7.2¢/kWh compared with the 15.27¢/kWh market average. Raise your thermostat in summer, use ceiling fans, seal drafts, and run major appliances during off-peak hours to reduce consumption.
