Mission Electricity Rates

Edited by Rafael Morales
Last updated:

The cheapest True Fixed electricity rate in Mission today for a 12 to 23 month term is 11.0¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh, from True Power. Across the 50 True Fixed plans in that range we track in Mission, the average is 13.2¢/kWh. Both numbers account for the energy provider’s charges and all TDU delivery and base charges, so they reflect what you actually pay.

That 11.0¢ is the floor for a real fixed rate in Mission on a term of 12 months or longer. If you see a 12-month-or-longer plan advertised well below this rate, it is almost certainly a bill credit plan. Those rates only apply if your monthly usage lands inside a narrow window, usually right around 1,000 kWh. Over a year you will likely miss it in at least 4 months (overpaying $400 or more), using too little or too much. Clear Energy Facts does not recommend these plans.

Every plan listed here is True Fixed. If you are looking for a different plan type in Mission, we track those separately: Best Free Nights plans, Best Free Weekends plans, and No-credit-check prepaid plans.

Mission Housing & Heating Facts

Local housing and heating composition based on city profile inputs.

Median Year Built

2000

Single-family homes make up over 70% of Mission's residential landscape, with a median build year of 2000. South Texas heat paired with an eight-month muggy season forces air conditioning units to work double duty, cooling the air while constantly extracting heavy humidity. While winters are generally mild, over 90% of local homes rely on electric heat, keeping power bills surprisingly elevated during occasional cold snaps.

The Real Cost of Gimmicky Bill-Credit Plans in Mission

All the plans shown in this page for Mission are True Fixed plans. Clear Energy Facts properly categorizes and ranks them from least to most expensive. These plans offer the lowest risk of paying more than expected.

However, other comparison websites and electricity brokers often feature plans that appear cheaper on paper than True Fixed plans. These are known as bill-credit plans. They offer a credit when your usage reaches a specific threshold, but the underlying rate is usually much higher. If you miss that threshold—even by a small amount—you lose the entire credit. Because electricity usage changes throughout the year, many customers will miss the threshold during several months of their contract.

For more information, read our main guide to bill-credit plans. As an example, the table below estimates the actual cost by housing type using the lowest advertised bill-credit rate we currently track.

Use the filters to apply the plan’s actual charges and credits to different Mission housing and heating profiles over 12 months.

Best Time of the Year to Shop for Electricity in Mission

In Mission, the best time to shop for electricity is usually during the spring and fall. Those months often have lower demand, which can lead to better rates. Still, this is not a hard rule. Prices can change based on local weather, fuel markets, grid conditions, and broader supply and demand trends.

Another thing to watch is contract length. In the past, shoppers mostly saw 12, 24, or 36-month plans. Now it is common to see terms like 9, 13, 18, or 20 months. That matters because the length of your contract affects when you will have to shop again, and renewing during a high-price season can cost more.

If you want to be more careful, try to choose a plan that keeps your renewal date away from the hottest summer months or the most volatile winter periods. For example, if one contract would make you renew in August and another would make you renew in May, the May renewal may put you in a better shopping window. Sources that track Texas electricity shopping patterns consistently point to spring and fall as the more favorable seasons, while summer and deep winter tend to be riskier.

Weather also matters. Major heat waves and winter storms can put pressure on the market and increase price volatility, so it is usually better not to wait until right before a major weather event to lock in a plan. You can also direct readers to your historical Texas electricity rates page to show how prices move over time.

Origin of the Plans on This List in Mission

Clear Energy Facts collects plan information in three ways:

1. Provider Websites
If a plan has the tag “Company Website”, it means the plan was found directly on the provider’s own website. You can access these plans through our link, or you can go directly to the company’s website yourself.
One important note: try not to use the sponsored links that appear on Google when shopping for electricity. Some providers show different rates depending on how you reached their site, including promo links, special landing pages, or paid ads.
For more information, see this article: Texas Electricity Promo Codes and Secret URLs

 
2. Power to Choose (PTC)
If a plan has the tag “PTC”, it means the plan is listed on Power to Choose, the official Texas electricity shopping website.
Even though you can access these plans directly on Power to Choose, we recommend using our link because we review, filter, and categorize them first. Many plans on Power to Choose are not truly fixed-rate plans, even if they may look attractive at first.
So if we tag a plan on this page as a fixed-rate plan, it means we have already reviewed it and confirmed that it is not a time-of-use plan, a bill credit plan, or another gimmick plan type.

3. Exclusive Plans
If a plan has the tag “Exclusive”, it means Clear Energy Facts has a direct partnership with the provider and can offer a competitive rate that may not be widely available on other shopping platforms.
These plans are still reviewed the same way as the others, and when we include them on our list, it is because we believe they are competitive options for shoppers in Mission.
