At our apartment in Irving we paid like $60/month for electricity and then another $40/month or so for gas to heat our water. However, here we don't use natural gas and we pay way less for electricity. Our last bill (for two months of service) was only $23.12. That's it. Only $23.12 for electricity.
I'd suspect that a lot of this is because we haven't used a heater or air conditioner since we've been here. But, it also looks like the price is a lot cheaper, it's only 3.76 cents/KWH, which seems a lot less than what we used to pay. There are a lot of things here that are more expensive than in Texas, but electricity isn't one of them.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

Electricity is pretty cheap here

"Since electrical deregulation was implemented in Texas in 2002, the residential rate for electricity has increased seven times."
electricity has gone up everywhere of course, since the price of the inputs has been rising fairly constantly, but the fact that Texas allows its handful of major energy corporations to charge whatever they want is a big part of why the rates there are so much higher. you're right, it's one of the only things that's more expensive in Texas than in other parts of the country.
