It looks like Texas has higher residential, but lower commercial and industrial rates than others. It may be that other states apply policies which depress residential rates at the cost of increasing ‘business’ rates.

But Texas is the only state that isn't subject to those rules because they're not synchronously connected to another grid. Which on top of that makes them less reliable, and thus more expensive.
