Sell your sunshine in Austin.

Austin runs on afternoon air conditioning, and the market shows it. Prices climb from lunch, peak between four and six, and stay high into the evening through most of the summer.

Who is buying in Austin

• Austin Energy bids on nearly every afternoon block.
• The data centres and transit depots on the east side are steady daytime buyers.
• Neighbour demand is growing fastest in the new-build suburbs where fewer homes have panels.

What sells best here

A battery or an EV. Austin’s midday surplus is large, so midday prices are modest, but anyone who can shift power into the 4pm to 7pm window earns well above the utility rate.
