Tips for finding cheap electricity rates in Edinburg
In Texas, energy is deregulated. That means providers get clever with how they present rates to customers to try to show the lowest rate. You can shop with free sites like Texas Electric Rates to find the best rates and learn more about offers.
Our shopping tips:
- Shop for a fixed-rate plan: In most cases, fixed-rate plans are the best option for customers. Fixed-rate plans offer stability because your rate doesn’t change during the contract.
- Consider switching in late fall: Late fall is usually moderate in Edinburg, which can lead to lower electricity rates.
- Check the plan details: Before signing up, read the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) to understand the price per kWh, renewable energy percentage, and early termination fees.

Best types of electricity plans in Edinburg
Energy providers in Edinburg offer several types of electricity plans, so you can choose the option that best fits your needs. A few common types of electricity plans include:
- Fixed-rate plans: With a fixed-rate energy plan, your electric rate will stay the same for the entirety of your contract. Fixed-rate plans normally lead to more predictable monthly energy bills. Because they require a contract, your provider may charge an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your plan before the term expires.
- Variable-rate plans: A few Edinburg energy providers offer variable-rate plans, which don’t require a contract and offer more flexibility. However, variable-rate plans are riskier because your energy price will change based on the wholesale cost of electricity. This can lead to unexpectedly high energy bills, which is why we don’t recommend this type of plan for most customers.
- Green energy plans: You can choose from a range of green energy plans in Edinburg. Every Texas energy plan includes some percentage of green power sources. You can also search for 100% green energy plans using the Texas Electric Rates marketplace.
Your electricity rate breakdown
Before you begin shopping for an energy plan, we recommend reviewing your current electricity bill. Your electric bill includes helpful information, like your monthly energy usage, current rate, and plan details. Call the number on this page to discuss your energy options with an expert.
What you need to know:
- Usage amount: This is how much energy you use, measured in kWh. Plans often have different rates depending on how much your usage is.
- Rate: Your electricity rate includes a base charge (which is the same each month) and your energy charge (which can change based on your usage).
- Delivery charge: Your local utility company charges a fee for delivering electricity to your home each month.
- Bill credit: Some plans include bill credits for certain usage tiers. The details of your bill credit will be outlined in your monthly energy bill.
- Early termination fee: If you cancel your plan before your contract ends, your provider may charge an ETF. The provider won’t charge an ETF if you cancel your plan because you are moving outside of their service territory.
- Deposit: Some providers require a deposit before beginning service. They base this requirement on your credit score. If you’d like to skip the deposit, try searching for no-deposit options like prepaid electricity plans.
