Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 53 km to the south, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Denton models 4 kWh per kW (0.3%) above it. The two figures are within 1 percent, which is about the size of the difference you get from two neighboring weather stations alone, so this page's result is effectively the same as Fort Worth's.

The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 59 km southeast, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so Denton runs 39 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Denton runs at least 2% higher in February, May, August, September, December. It runs at least 2% lower in January.

Electricity prices nearby

Denton is served by its own municipal utility, City of Denton. Municipal utilities in Texas generally sit outside retail choice, so homes in the city buy from the city utility. Its 2025 residential average was 13.6¢ per kWh, which would put the modeled 1,539 kWh at $209 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate.

Other providers listed in the county

• Denton County Elec Coop, Inc: 13.18¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 310,805 residential customers across 6 counties.
• Tri-County Electric Coop, Inc (TX): 15.07¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 117,857 residential customers across 16 counties.
• Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC: 5.64¢ per kWh, delivery charges only, before the retail energy price, 3,545,814 residential customers across 99 counties.

These serve areas outside the city utility. They are the largest bundled providers, and the largest delivery-only one, whose EIA service territory lists the county. A county can list several, and which one serves a street depends on the address, so check your bill.

Scale the Denton model to another array size, take off extra losses for shade or dirt, and price the energy at any rate. It is arithmetic on the PVWatts output above, nothing more: not a quote, not a savings estimate and not advice.

Starting rate: the Texas residential average of 15.47¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $238 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
