Aug. 9 — The Energy Department expects prices in Texas to fall 28 percent this year to an average annual price of $30 per megawatt hour. The government points to lower than usual temperatures which, in turn, lead to lower summertime electricity demand. One megawatt is enough to power about 200 homes during a hot summer day in Texas.
