About Uvalde

Electricity and living in Uvalde.

Uvalde is the Uvalde County seat in South Central Texas — a small city of about 15,000 anchored by Southwest Texas Junior College, the regional hospital, and the surrounding ranch country. Uvalde grieved a national tragedy in 2022 and remains a tight-knit community.

Climate & bill pattern

Hot dry summers with high UV — drier than Houston, hotter peaks than the Hill Country proper — and mild winters with occasional hard freezes.

Mostly 1,300-1,700 sq ft single-story homes with central AC. Dry-heat AC load is lower-humidity than coastal Texas but still substantial through the long summer.
