Texas electric bills are steadier now because energy demand is mild, and most residents don’t need to use their air conditioning to stay cool. Warmer spring weather may begin to drive up energy usage across the state, in addition to the average energy rate.

While other states can transfer electricity across state lines, Texas electricity companies only operate within the Texas Interconnected System, which originated in 1941.
