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

Yes — most Dean 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 Dean today is 8.2¢ 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 Dean

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing the amount of electricity you will consume monthly is the best way to find a deal on electricity in Dean. Why does this matter?

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

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much electricity you consume in the 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 pick your power provider.

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

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 ideal way to discover the energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is now done in a few moments.

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

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

We then assist you in enrolling with your selected electricity provider without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you must determine your expected or historical usage before picking the best 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.

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 electricity plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Dean: Setting up electricity

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

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

Switching electricity companies in Dean

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

Your existing electricity company 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 higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop 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 provider will handle everything for you, including terminating service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Dean 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 cancellation” 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.

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 lowest price.

You will want to gather your past usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Dean was established in 1882 as a railroad town along the Fort Worth and Denver Railway line. The town was named after a railroad official and quickly became a shipping point for cattle and cotton from the surrounding Clay County farmland, serving as a vital link between rural North Texas and major markets.

RECENT

In 2020, Dean completed a major infrastructure improvement project that upgraded the town's water system and installed new LED streetlights throughout the historic downtown area. The project was funded through a combination of state grants and local bonds, representing the largest municipal investment in the town's modern history.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Dean was the childhood home of rodeo champion Jake Barnes, who won the World Championship in team roping multiple times in the 1980s and 1990s. Barnes learned to rope on his family's ranch just outside Dean and credited the town's strong ranching community for teaching him the skills that made him a professional rodeo star.

DID YOU KNOW

Dean is home to one of the oldest continuously operating general stores in North Texas, which has been serving the community since 1885. The store still uses its original wooden floors and tin ceiling, and locals joke that you can buy everything from horseshoes to homemade pie under one roof, just like in the Old West days.

CULTURAL

Every October, Dean hosts the annual 'Pumpkin Days' festival, where the entire population of 493 residents transforms their tiny downtown into a harvest celebration. The festival features a pumpkin weigh-off competition, homemade pie contests, and live country music, drawing visitors from across Clay County who often double the town's population for the weekend.
