Who delivers electricity in Cushing

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

Quick answers

Cushing 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 Cushing’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 Cushing 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 Cushing 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 Cushing

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing how much energy you will consume monthly is the best way to find a deal on electricity in Cushing. Why is this so vital?

You see energy companies advertising the “price per kWh” 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 vary depending on how much energy you use each month.

Unless you use the advertised amount 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 a power plan.

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

Better yet, 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 best way to discover the perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in seconds.

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

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

We then help you order your plan with your chosen electricity company without ever having to leave our service.

The takeaway here is you must know your expected or historical usage before picking the best 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.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly choosing 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 shop for the best energy plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Cushing: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Cushing, 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.

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 Cushing

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so shopping for a lower rate every year when your contract expires is essential.

Your existing energy provider will typically raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you fail to take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly more than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing energy companies.

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

Switching is easy:

When you decide to switch, your new electricity company will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Cushing 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 up to 14 days before your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” fee. Texas law protects you here.

If you’re still under contract, check 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 are unsure, email us your latest energy bill, and one of our team members will get back to you promptly with 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 best 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

Cushing was founded in 1902 when the Texas and New Orleans Railroad extended its line through East Texas, creating a vital timber shipping point. The town was named after E.B. Cushing, a prominent railroad executive, and quickly became a bustling lumber town during the height of the East Texas timber boom in the early 1900s.

RECENT

In 2018, Cushing completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and added new sidewalks and period lighting. The project was funded through a combination of state grants and local fundraising efforts, bringing new life to the small town's commercial district.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music singer and songwriter Don Henley of the Eagles was born in nearby Gilmer but spent significant time in Cushing during his youth, often visiting family in the area. The town also produced several notable high school football players who went on to play at major Texas universities in the 1980s and 1990s.

DID YOU KNOW

Cushing is home to one of the last remaining original depot buildings from the Texas and New Orleans Railroad, which now serves as a museum and community center. The building still contains the original telegraph equipment used to coordinate train schedules, and visitors can see Morse code messages carved into the wooden walls by bored telegraph operators over a century ago.

CULTURAL

Every October, Cushing hosts the annual Harvest Festival, a tradition that began in 1985 to celebrate the town's agricultural heritage. The festival features a unique 'Longest Pea Shelling Contest' where residents compete to see who can shell black-eyed peas the fastest, a skill that was essential for survival in rural East Texas farming communities.
