No, Texas cannot buy or sell energy across state lines. The power grid in Texas has been independent from the rest of the country since 1935. While other states can transfer electricity across state lines, Texas electricity companies only operate within the Texas Interconnected System, which originated in 1941.
There are many ways you can lower your monthly electricity bill in Texas. Cutting back on how much electricity you use each month is the most straightforward way to lower your electricity bill. You can also consider turning on ceiling fans during warmer months, investing in energy-efficient appliances, and running your appliances during cooler times of the day instead of “peak hours” when your AC is blasting. Some residents and businesses also switch to Texas solar for lower electricity bills.
