Brownsville’s warm weather isn't exclusive to just a few months of the year. Air conditioners stay busy through much of the calendar, which makes choosing the right electricity plan just as important as choosing the right provider. That's why Gexa Energy focuses on giving Texans clear choices instead of one-size-fits-all solutions. As one of the original Texas retail electricity providers, Gexa Energy has proudly served Texas households since 2001. When you choose Gexa Energy, you'll have access to:
View Brownsville PlansFrom established neighborhoods near downtown Brownsville to growing communities throughout the Rio Grande Valley, electricity usage can vary significantly from one household to the next. The average Brownsville home uses approximately 1,364 kWh of electricity per month, though your usage may be higher or lower depending on your home's size, occupancy, and energy habits. Brownsville's long, hot climate often means air conditioning plays a major role in household energy use for much of the year. That's why Gexa offers a variety of plans designed to fit different usage patterns and lifestyles.

No two homes use energy exactly the same way. Gexa Energy offers a variety of electricity plans in Brownsville designed to fit different household needs and preferences, including:
If you prefer knowing what to expect from month to month, a fixed-rate plan can be a great place to start. Your Energy Charge stays the same throughout your contract term, helping bring more consistency to your monthly budget, although TDU delivery charges, taxes, and other allowed charges may change. That kind of stability can be especially valuable in Brownsville.
Some Gexa Energy plans include a bill credit when your monthly electricity usage reaches the qualifying amount listed in the Electricity Facts Label. For example, a qualifying plan may provide a bill credit once your home reaches 500 kWh during a billing cycle. If your usage doesn't reach that level, the bill credit won't apply for that month.
Gexa offers a Free Weekends Electricity where electricity usage is free from 12:00 AM Friday to 12:00 AM Monday. If your household has flexibility to run appliances or complete other energy-intensive tasks during those periods, this type of plan may be worth considering. Electricity used outside the designated Free Electricity window is generally billed at a different Energy Charge. Every plan is different, so it's important to review the Electricity Facts Label to understand when the qualifying period applies and how electricity is priced during the rest of the billing cycle.
Gexa Energy offers plans that include smart thermostat technology and energy management tools designed to help you stay connected to your home's electricity usage. Using Gexa MyAccount and the Gexa Energy Mobile App, you can monitor usage, review account activity, and adjust settings that support your comfort and your energy goals.
Many homeowners find rooftop solar an attractive option due to Brownsville's consistently sunny climate. If your home has a qualifying solar system, Gexa Energy's solar buyback plans let you earn bill credits for eligible excess electricity your system exports to the grid. Your Electricity Facts Label and Product-Specific Terms explain how excess energy credits are calculated and when they apply.
If charging your electric vehicle is already part of your evening routine, Gexa Energy offers plans designed to help you make the most of overnight charging. These plans provide an energy charge credit when you charge your vehicle during eligible overnight hours. Compatible vehicles must be paired with the Gexa365 platform, and qualifying hours and vehicle brands are outlined in the Electricity Facts Label. TDU delivery charges continue to apply during all charging periods.
A variable-price plan gives you flexibility because your Energy Charge can change from month to month as market conditions change. For some customers, that flexibility is worth the tradeoff of having less predictable monthly Energy Charges. If you don't expect to stay in the same home for an extended period or prefer not to commit to a longer contract, this type of plan may fit your needs.
Flat rate plans provide a consistent monthly Energy Charge while your household's electricity usage stays within the plan's specified usage range. If your usage exceeds that amount, additional Energy Charges apply to the extra kilowatt-hours used. If your household tends to use about the same amount of electricity from month to month, this type of plan can offer another way to keep your monthly costs more consistent.
Some of the biggest influences on electricity usage in Brownsville include:
Brownsville's extended cooling season means air conditioning is often one of the largest contributors to household electricity usage throughout much of the year.
The size, age, and energy efficiency of your home can have a significant impact on electricity consumption. Factors such as insulation, window quality, and overall construction affect how much energy is needed to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
Daily habits, appliance usage, work-from-home schedules, and electric vehicle charging can all influence how much electricity your household uses each month.
Fixed-rate, variable-price, usage credit, and Free Electricity plans calculate Energy Charges differently. Choosing a plan that aligns with your household's usage patterns can help you get more value from your electricity service.
Delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas and are included on your monthly bill regardless of which retail electricity provider you choose. Current AEP Texas Central Delivery Charges:
Estimated electricity bills in Brownsville can vary based on seasonal energy use and the current price of your selected plan. Using Gexa's average available price of 15.7¢/kWh, the estimated average monthly electricity bill in Brownsville is $157.35. For a typical home, the average monthly bill is approximately $212, while apartment residents typically pay around $140 per month. This equals estimated annual electricity costs of $2,541 for a home and $1,682 for an apartment.
A typical Brownsville home's bill ranges from about $140 in Feb to $299 in Jul. For an apartment, bills range from $93 in Feb to $194 in Jul.
*The chart uses live plan pricing and seasonal usage data to provide a more accurate estimate than a static annual average. Estimates are modeled using Gexa's average available rate at 1,000 kWh and typical seasonal usage patterns. Actual bills will vary based on electricity usage, plan selection, and applicable TDU delivery charges.
Brownsville residents are well aware of the importance of air conditioning throughout much of the year. That makes choosing the right electricity plan about more than finding the lowest advertised rate. The best plan is the one that fits how your household uses energy through the long cooling season and gives you the level of price stability you're looking for.
Looking at one month's electricity bill only tells part of the story. Reviewing your electricity usage over an entire year gives you a much better understanding of how your home uses energy as the seasons change. In Brownsville, even spring and fall often require air conditioning, so your electricity usage may stay higher for longer than it would in other parts of Texas.
A low advertised rate can catch your attention, but it's only one piece of the picture. Looking at how a plan works can help you decide whether it's the right fit long after you've enrolled. Before making your decision, review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL). It explains how your Energy Charges are calculated, outlines important contract details, and helps you understand how each plan works before you enroll.
