About Donna
What you're shopping for power in.
Donna is a Rio Grande Valley city in Hidalgo County, between Alamo and Weslaco. Mostly agricultural historically (citrus and sugarcane); recent growth tied to the McAllen-Edinburg-Mission metro expansion and cross-border commerce through the Donna-Rio Bravo International Bridge.
Climate & bill pattern
Same hot humid RGV climate as Alamo and Weslaco — year-round AC usage, mild winters.
Mostly small (1,000-1,400 sq ft) single-story homes; AC dominates the bill for 10+ months a year.
