Quick answers

Colorado City 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 Colorado City’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 Colorado City 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 Colorado City 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 Colorado City

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining the amount of electricity you will consume each month is the ideal way to shop for energy in Colorado City. Why is this important?

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

Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly bill is determined, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much electricity you use in a month.

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you ordered.

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

Calculating your total monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing plans by total monthly cost is the best way to shop for the best rate for your home.

Even better, if you have a year of usage history for your home, 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 best way to discover the perfect energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in a few seconds.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers to assist you step-by-step with the energy plan that’s best for your household’s usage.

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

We then help you sign up with your chosen electricity provider without leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you should determine your expected or historical usage before choosing the right energy plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business and cannot obtain 12 months of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate the average energy you will use in any given month.

Although knowing the previous 12 months of usage is optimum, it is far better to estimate the average energy consumption than to select the first electricity provider that you see advertised. After all, you have no idea how much energy you will use at that point.

Use Compare Power to shop for the best energy plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Colorado City: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up an electricity service in Colorado City, 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.

Sign-up for a plan in minutes through Compare Power. We will remind you when it’s time to return to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching electricity companies in Colorado City

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate yearly when your contract expires.

Your existing energy company will typically raise your electricity 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, shop the rates of competing electricity providers.

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

Switching is easy:

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

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Colorado City is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

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

You can pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an “early termination” penalty. Texas law protects you here.

If you’re still under contract, find out how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most providers 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 understanding your usage is the best way to find the cheapest rate.

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

Colorado City was founded in 1877 by the Texas and Pacific Railway and originally served as the county seat of the massive Mitchell County. The town was named after the Colorado River that flows nearby, and it quickly became a major shipping point for cattle ranchers and cotton farmers in West Texas during the late 1800s.

RECENT

In 2020, Colorado City made national headlines when its mayor resigned during the February winter storm crisis after posting controversial social media comments about residents needing to fend for themselves. The incident led to significant changes in city leadership and sparked conversations about municipal responsibility during emergencies across rural Texas.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Colorado City is the birthplace of legendary country music songwriter Cindy Walker, who penned classics like 'You Don't Know Me' and 'Dream Baby' for artists including Patsy Cline, Roy Orbison, and Bob Wills. Walker wrote over 400 songs during her career and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997, though she remained humble about her small-town West Texas roots.

DID YOU KNOW

Colorado City is home to one of the most unusual museums in Texas - the Heart of West Texas Museum, which houses a complete replica of an Old West saloon and the actual jail cell that once held notorious outlaw John Wesley Hardin in the 1870s. The museum also displays a collection of vintage windmills, as Mitchell County once had more operating windmills per square mile than anywhere else in America.

CULTURAL

Colorado City hosts the annual Rattlesnake Roundup every March, a tradition that began in 1958 as both a community fundraiser and a practical solution to the area's rattlesnake problem. The event features snake handling demonstrations, a Miss Snake Charmer contest, and the famous rattlesnake meat cook-off, drawing thousands of visitors to this small West Texas town each spring.
