Electricity Plans in Pharr, TX

Gexa Energy offers a variety of electricity plans for homes across Pharr. Make sure to check out each EFL to see how each plan works, including pricing, contract terms, and eligibility requirements.

Fixed-Rate Electricity Plans3

If you like knowing what your energy charge will be from month to month, a fixed-rate plan offers added peace of mind. Your energy charge stays relatively the same throughout your contract term, helping you plan your monthly budget. Keep in mind that your monthly bill can still fluctuate with usage, taxes, and other built-in fees.

Usage or Bill Credit Electricity Plans

Some Gexa Energy plans include a bill credit when your monthly electricity usage reaches the qualifying threshold listed in the EFL. For example, a plan may apply a bill credit once your household reaches 1,000 kWh during a billing cycle. If your usage falls below that amount, the credit simply won't apply for that month. Checking your past electricity bills can help you decide whether this type of plan matches the way your home typically uses energy.

Free Electricity Plans4

Some households naturally use more electricity during certain parts of the week. If that sounds familiar, Gexa’s Free 3 Day Weekends plan may be worth exploring. This plan includes 72 hours of free energy during the weekends. Electricity used outside the qualifying window is generally billed at a higher rate.

Smart Thermostat and Incentive Plans5

Gexa Energy Saver plans include a Sensi® Touch Wi-Fi smart thermostat with professional installation at no additional cost. When combined with the Gexa Energy Mobile App and Gexa MyAccount, you'll have convenient tools to track your electricity usage, manage your account, and make informed adjustments throughout the year.

Solar Buyback Plans6

With abundant sunshine throughout much of the year, rooftop solar continues to be an attractive option for many homeowners in South Texas. Gexa Energy's solar buyback plans allow eligible customers to receive bill credits for qualifying excess electricity their solar system sends back to the grid. To participate, you'll need a qualifying solar energy system, a completed Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU) Interconnection Agreement, and a bidirectional meter installed by your TDU.

EV Charging Plans7

Charging your electric vehicle at home can become part of your normal overnight routine with a qualifying Gexa Energy plan. 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. TDU delivery charges continue to apply during all charging periods.

Variable-Price Plans3

With this type of plan, your energy charge can increase or decrease from month to month based on market conditions. Because pricing isn't locked for a set contract term, monthly electricity charges may be less predictable than they are with a fixed-rate plan. However, they can be a good fit for residents looking for flexibility.

Flat Rate Plans

Flat rate plans offer a consistent monthly charge while your electricity usage remains within the plan's specified usage range. If your household uses more electricity than the included amount, additional energy charges apply to the extra usage. For homes with relatively consistent month-to-month consumption, this type of plan can help simplify budgeting.

What Shapes Your Pharr Electricity Bill

Some of the biggest influences on electricity usage in Pharr include:

  • Long, hot, and humid weather

    Like much of the Rio Grande Valley, Pharr experiences an extended cooling season. Air conditioning is often one of the largest contributors to household electricity usage throughout the year.

  • Home size and construction

    Pharr includes a mix of established neighborhoods and newer residential developments. Larger homes generally require more electricity for cooling, while insulation quality, window efficiency, and overall home construction can also affect energy usage.

  • Household routines

    The number of people in your home, appliance use, work-from-home schedules, entertainment systems, swimming pools, and overnight electric vehicle charging can all influence monthly electricity consumption.

  • Your electricity plan

    Fixed-rate, variable-price, usage credit, and Free Electricity plans calculate Energy Charges differently. Choosing a plan that aligns with your household's usage habits can help you get more value from your electricity service.

  • TDU delivery charges

    AEP Texas Central delivers electricity to homes and businesses in Pharr. 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

    • Per kWh: 5.6898¢ per kWh delivered
    • Base fee: $3.24 per month (TDU meter charge)

Average Pharr Electric Bills

Estimated electricity bills in Pharr can vary based on seasonal energy use and the current price of your selected plan. Using Gexa's average available price of 15.6¢/kWh, the estimated average monthly electricity bill in Pharr is $155.97. For a typical home, the average monthly bill is approximately $187, while apartment residents typically pay around $118 per month. This equals estimated annual electricity costs of $2,239 for a home and $1,414 for an apartment.

Estimated monthly bill across the year

HomeApartment

A typical Pharr home's bill ranges from about $123 in Feb to $267 in Jul. For an apartment, bills range from $89 in Feb to $159 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.

How to Choose the Right Electricity Plan in Pharr

The best way to choose an electricity plan in Pharr is to evaluate how your household uses electricity.

Household Electricity Usage in Pharr

One of the best tools you have when comparing electricity plans is your own usage history. Looking back over the last 12 months can reveal patterns that aren't obvious from a single bill.

    In Pharr, even the cooler months often include meaningful air conditioning use, so electricity demand may stay relatively steady throughout much of the year. Reviewing a full year's usage provides a clearer picture of how your household consumes electricity across every season.

    Plan Features to Compare

    A low advertised rate is only one part of choosing an electricity plan. Understanding how a plan works can help you avoid surprises and select an option that better matches your household's needs. Before enrolling, review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to understand pricing, fees, plan features, and how Energy Charges are calculated.
