Oncor owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Cooper. Whichever plan you pick, Oncor still delivers the power and restores outages — switching providers never changes your wires.

Quick answers

Cooper 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 Cooper’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 Cooper 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 Cooper 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 Cooper

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Understanding the electricity you use monthly is the best way to shop for power in Cooper. Why is this so vital?

The rate you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly bill is determined, and your monthly bill will change according to how much energy you consume in a month.

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you enrolled.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to choose your energy rate.

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 lowest rate for your home.

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 find the right energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now done in just seconds.

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

We clarify the details, disclosing the various charges, so you’ll know exactly where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.

We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen power company without leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you must determine your expected or historical usage before choosing the right energy 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.

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 find the best electricity plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Cooper: Setting up electricity

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

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

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

It may take some effort to acquire usage for the past 12 months, 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 are unable to obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage via utilizing our “Help Me Choose” tool. By simply entering your zip code, the tool will be able to assess your home’s projected electricity consumption.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when renewing your existing plan or possibly switching plans.

Switching electricity companies in Cooper

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

Your existing energy provider will typically raise your electricity rate once your term 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 energy providers.

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

Switching is easy:

When you switch, your new energy provider will take care of everything for you, including terminating service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Cooper 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 companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can choose any date within 14 days of your contract expiration date without an “early termination” fee. 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.

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 lowest rate.

You will want to find your past usage for the last 12 months to determine your household’s best plan with the lowest rate.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Cooper was founded in 1870 and named after Leroy Pope Cooper, a Confederate senator from Tennessee who never actually visited the town. The community grew around the cotton trade and became the county seat of Delta County when it was formed in 1870, making it one of the oldest continuously operating county seats in Northeast Texas.

RECENT

In 2020, Cooper completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along the courthouse square, including the 1940s-era movie theater. The project brought new businesses to the downtown area and created a walking trail that connects the historic courthouse to Cooper Lake State Park.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Cooper is the birthplace of Audie Murphy, America's most decorated World War II soldier who later became a Hollywood actor. Murphy was born in 1925 in a sharecropper's cabin near Cooper and went on to receive every major U.S. military combat award, including the Medal of Honor, before starring in 44 films including his autobiographical 'To Hell and Back.'

DID YOU KNOW

Cooper sits on the South Sulphur River, and during the 1970s construction of Cooper Lake, archaeologists discovered evidence of Native American settlements dating back over 12,000 years. The lake project required relocating the entire community of Doctors Creek, including moving a historic cemetery and several buildings, making it one of the largest community relocations in modern Texas history.

CULTURAL

Cooper hosts the annual Delta County Fair and Music Festival, which has been running for over 50 years and features one of the largest amateur fiddle contests in East Texas. The town is also known for its historic courthouse square, which still operates much like it did in the early 1900s, with local farmers bringing produce to sell and residents gathering for community events under the century-old oak trees.
