Compare electricity rates in Waco

With a humid subtropical climate, urban environment and growing metro population of 235,000, Waco requires energy that’s both reasonably priced and efficient to meet residential and business needs.

Waco is part of Texas’s deregulated energy market, meaning customers have the power to choose their electricity provider.

That’s really important now. Since Texans have been under stay-at-home orders, residential electricity use is soaring, reports say. That extra usage will result in higher bills, which means it makes sense to look for a new energy provider. See Waco electricity rates available in your area by entering your ZIP code. Most Texas can change providers without a technician visit to their home.

How has deregulation affected Waco? Here’s what the latest statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration show:

• Texas residential electricity rates are nearly 9.5 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas commercial electricity rates are nearly 26 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas industrial electricity rates are nearly 23 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas generates the most electricity of any state from wind.
• Texas generates the fifth-highest amount of electricity from solar energy.

On January 1, 2002, the Texas Senate approved a bill to deregulate the energy industry for a large portion of the state, including Waco. This has allowed competition in the Waco energy sector. Now, consumers can browse around for different energy providers in the city.
