Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 241 km to the east, at 1,535 kWh per kW. O'Brien models 134 kWh per kW (8.7%) above it. O'Brien lies 0.6 degrees of latitude north of Fort Worth, which on sun angle alone would point the other way, so clouds, haze and the weather station's record carry the difference. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (2.2 km and 1.5 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.

The second-nearest large place is Dallas, 293 km east, where the same model gives 1,500 kWh per kW, so O'Brien runs 169 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, O'Brien runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists AEP Texas North in this county. Where O'Brien is on AEP Texas North's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of O'Brien 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 1,669 kWh at $256 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Also listed in the county

• Tri-County Electric Coop, Inc (TX): 15.07¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 117,857 residential customers across 16 counties.
• Big Country Electric Coop, Inc: 13.33¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 9,533 residential customers across 12 counties.
• AEP Texas North Company: 5.86¢ per kWh, delivery charges only, before the retail energy price, 158,488 residential customers across 51 counties.

These utilities serve other parts of the county, which can include parts of O'Brien. 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 O'Brien 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 $257 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
