About Roma
What you're shopping for power in.
Roma is a small Rio Grande Valley city in Starr County on the U.S.-Mexico border, directly across from Ciudad Miguel Alemán. Historic 19th-century downtown is a National Historic Landmark district; the modern economy mixes cross-border commerce, ranching, and government.
Climate & bill pattern
Subtropical RGV climate — year-round AC use, mild winters, occasional hard freezes that damage citrus and ranching operations.
Mostly small 1,000-1,400 sq ft single-story homes. RGV's near-year-round AC season pushes annual usage well above the Texas average.
