Have a High Light Bill or Electric Bill?
If your electricity bill in Haskell came in higher than you expected, upload or enter it and see whether another plan could lower your electricity costs, or whether staying where you are makes more sense.
Weather and electricity in Haskell
Typical weather near Haskell, from the nearest NOAA station with a complete 1991-2020 record: Haskell, about 1 mile from the city center (station elevation 1,590 ft). These are normals for that station, not readings at your address. July is the warmest month on average, with a normal daily high of 95°F; January has the coolest average low, 29°F. Average daily highs reach 90°F or more in June to August. Average lows are at or below freezing in January and December.
For electricity, the normals point to two seasons that can lift a household's usage: cooling-degree days (a measure of how far each day's mean temperature sits above 65°F) peak in July at 572 for the month, and heating-degree days (below 65°F) peak in January at 705. How much that matters to a bill depends on the home, its insulation, its heating fuel and the household, so use your own usage history, not a regional average, when you compare plans.
| Month | Avg high °F | Avg low °F | Precipitation (in) | Cooling degree-days | Heating degree-days |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Historical weather records for Haskell County
The Texas Railroad Commission's county table lists a record low of -6°F (1989) and a record high of 115°F (1994), and a regional estimate of 30 consecutive hours as a typical longest freezing or frozen-precipitation period for Haskell County. These are historical county extremes, not Haskell's monthly averages and not a forecast; the normals above describe ordinary months.
Reference only: the U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey puts the average Texas household at about 13,440 kWh a year (about 1,120 kWh a month if spread evenly). That is a statewide average for 2020, not Haskell, and not an estimate for your home. EIA source.

Haskell electricity, in numbers and sources
- Land: 3.6 sq mi; 860 residents and 310 households per sq mi; 2.77 people per Haskell household. [Gazetteer; PEP; ACS]
- Heating fuel, Haskell homes (ACS 2020-2024): electricity 18.4% (±5), utility gas 74.0%, propane 5.4%; Haskell County overall: 31.6% electric. [ACS]
- Of Haskell homes paying a power bill, 29.3% report $250 or more a month and 22.4% under $100 (Haskell County: 33.8% at $250+). [ACS]
- Housing stock: 87.8% detached houses, 6.2% mobile homes; median year built 1958, 3.5% built 2010 or later. [ACS]
- ERCOT status split for 2,330 Haskell home meters (Oct. 5, 2026): active 1,523, inactive 501, de-energized 306; idle share 34.6%. [ERCOT]
- ACS 2020-2024: 18.2% of Haskell housing units vacant (±7). Vacant homes keep meters that are not counted as households. [ACS]

Haskell questions
Do I get to pick my electric company in Haskell?
Mostly. ERCOT counts 1,523 competitive Haskell home meters, all on AEP Texas North's system, against 1,116 households. An address lookup settles it.
Do Haskell homes heat with electricity?
18.4% of Haskell homes heat with electricity (ACS 2020-2024, margin ±5) and 74.0% with utility gas; 29.3% of bill-paying homes report $250 or more a month. Electric-heat homes should compare plans at winter usage.
What ZIP code do most Haskell electricity customers have?
79521 (1,523 Haskell homes on the competitive market). Across the full ZIP: 1.10 meters per household, 1,523 home meters in all.
Who handles Haskell power outages?
Outages go to AEP Texas North (aeptexas.com/outages), the wires utility for 1,523 Haskell competitive homes.
How do I set up power at a new Haskell home?
Check the address is on AEP Texas North's wires, choose a plan and a start date. Haskell had 807 idle home meters (inactive or de-energized) on Oct. 5, 2026, so many move-ins reconnect an existing meter.
