Energy costs in Mesquite, TX
Energy prices are published by state, not by city, so the rates and bills below are Texas figures and apply to Mesquite the same as anywhere else in the state. The solar production is different: that is modelled for Mesquite's own coordinates, and it varies a lot within a single state.

8,931kWh a year from 6 kW

Common questions
What is the electricity rate in Mesquite?
16.44¢ per kilowatt hour. That is the Texas residential average from the EIA — rates are published per state, not per city, so it applies across Mesquite and the rest of Texas alike.
What is the average electric bill in Mesquite?
About $173 a month for a typical Texas household. Again this is a state figure: EIA reports revenue and customer counts by state, so a city-level bill would be an invention.
Is solar worth it in Mesquite?
A 6 kW system at Mesquite's coordinates is modelled at about 8,931 kilowatt hours a year, which pays for itself in roughly 8.1 years at Texas electricity prices with full net metering. This one is genuinely local — production is modelled for this point, not the state.
