Against Dallas

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Dallas, 94 km to the west, at 1,500 kWh per kW. Emory models 16 kWh per kW (1.1%) below it. At 0.09 degrees of latitude apart, the two sit at almost the same sun angle, so geometry explains little. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (1.5 km and 2.4 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.

The second-nearest large place is Fort Worth, 148 km west, where the same model gives 1,535 kWh per kW, so Emory runs 51 below that figure. It runs at least 2% lower in January, February, March, September, October, November, December.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists Texas-New Mexico Power in this county. Where Emory is on Texas-New Mexico Power's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Emory may instead be served by a co-op or utility listed below, which sets its own rates; check your bill. For scale only, the median 2025 average price across the 60 Texas retail providers on this site is 15.32¢ per kWh, which would put the modeled 1,484 kWh at $227 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Also listed in the county

• Southwestern Electric Power Co: 12.6¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 157,119 residential customers across 25 counties.
• Farmers Electric Coop, Inc: 11.95¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 88,221 residential customers across 12 counties.
• Wood County Electric Coop, Inc: 12.83¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 36,173 residential customers across 9 counties.
• Texas-New Mexico Power Co: 7.09¢ per kWh, delivery charges only, before the retail energy price, 237,930 residential customers across 42 counties.

These utilities serve other parts of the county, which can include parts of Emory. 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.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Emory 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 15.4¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $229 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
