Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 239 km to the east, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Tye models 97 kWh per kW (6.3%) above it. Tye lies 0.33 degrees of latitude south of Fort Worth, and the sun stands higher in the sky the further south you go, which matches its higher modeled output. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (0.9 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 Tye runs 132 above that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Tye runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, September, October, November, December.

Electricity in Taylor CountyEIA-861

Electricity prices nearby

EIA lists AEP Texas North in this county. Where Tye is on AEP Texas North's lines, homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider and the price depends on the plan. Parts of Tye 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 1,632 kWh at $250 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Also listed in the county

• Taylor Electric Coop Inc: 16.14¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 19,215 residential customers across 11 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 Tye.

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 Tye 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 $251 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
