Quick answers

Centerville electricity questions, answered

As of August 2026, plans we offer in the Oncor territory average 15.3¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly use, and today’s lowest effective rate is 6.8¢. Advertised rates move with your usage, so price plans at your own numbers.

Oncor is Centerville’s transmission and delivery utility. It owns the wires and meters and restores outages. You choose your retail electricity provider; Oncor delivers no matter who you pick.

Yes — most Centerville addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

Compare effective rates at YOUR usage, not advertised rates — fees and bill credits bend each plan differently. Check the contract length and cancellation fee, then confirm delivery charges are included. The tables on this page do all three, and checkout takes about ten minutes.

Yes. Texas law gives you a 14-day window before your contract end date to switch with NO early-termination fee. Find your end date on your bill, then shop it today — the expensive move is drifting onto a holdover rate.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Centerville today is 6.8¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh — but a plan that wins at 1,000 kWh can lose at 2,000. Enter your ZIP and usage to see which company is cheapest for your home.

How to find the best energy plan in Centerville

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing how much energy you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on power in Centerville. Why should you care?

The “price per kWh” you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much electricity you use in the month.

Unless you match the advertised usage each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than what you saw when you ordered.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to shop for an electricity plan.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on expected monthly usage, then comparing rates with the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the best rate.

Even better, if you have 12 months of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the ideal way to determine the perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What could take you hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved in a few seconds.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and assisting you step-by-step with the energy plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.

We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to anticipate on your monthly bill.

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your selected power provider without leaving our website.

The bottom line is you should understand your expected or historical usage before choosing the right electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire 12 months of historical usage, or you’re the owner of a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average month.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly picking the first plan you see advertised by an electricity company at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

Use Compare Power to find the best electricity plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Centerville: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Centerville, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home to get the best rate.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.

Once you have historical usage, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: If you can’t obtain a usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or possibly switch plans.

Switching electricity companies in Centerville

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so it is essential to shop for a lower price every year when your contract expires.

Your existing energy provider will generally raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you do not take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing electricity providers.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy bill.

Switching is easy:

When you make the switch, your new energy provider will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Centerville is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch energy companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date up to 14 days early from your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” penalty. That’s Texas Law.

If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies up to 6o days in advance.

The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

For help with this, you can send us your latest energy bill via email, and one of our professional team members will contact you shortly to discuss your best options.

If you’re ready to switch and want to know how to find the best plan, remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the cheapest price.

Keep in mind that when you get ready to switch and you want to know the most efficient way to find the right plan at the best rate, it is essential that you first understand your usage. To accomplish that, you will need to collect the usage history for the past 12 months.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Centerville was founded in 1872 as the county seat of Leon County and was strategically located at the geographic center of the county, hence its name. The town was established when the International and Great Northern Railroad came through the area, transforming it from scattered settlements into a proper town that served as the commercial and governmental hub for the surrounding rural communities.

RECENT

In 2020, Centerville completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Commerce Street and added new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping. The project was funded through a combination of state grants and local fundraising efforts, breathing new life into the small town's historic commercial district and attracting new businesses to the area.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music singer and songwriter Aaron Watson, known as 'The Last Honky Tonk Left in Texas,' was born and raised in the Centerville area. Watson has achieved significant success in Texas country music, with multiple albums reaching the top of country charts, and he frequently references his East Texas roots in his music and maintains strong ties to the community.

DID YOU KNOW

Centerville is home to one of the oldest continuously operating general stores in Texas, Hayter's General Store, which has been serving the community since 1903. The store still operates with many of its original fixtures, including wooden floors, vintage cash registers, and old-fashioned candy displays, making it a living museum of small-town Texas commerce that attracts visitors from across the state.

CULTURAL

Every October, Centerville hosts the annual Leon County Fair, which has been a tradition for over 75 years and draws thousands of visitors to this tiny town of fewer than 900 residents. The fair features traditional Texas activities like livestock shows, rodeo events, and a famous pie contest where local bakers compete with recipes passed down through generations, creating a genuine small-town atmosphere that represents the heart of rural East Texas culture.
