Dallas, the only other Texas city included in the report, came in at 4th highest.
A review of the site’s previous six months’ surveys shows that the higher prices facing Houston and Dallas residents is part of an ongoing trend. In each survey, Houston and Dallas are consistently near the top for high monthly electric bills.
