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

Quick answers

Denison 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 Denison’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 Denison 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 Denison 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 Denison

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing the amount of electricity you will use each month is the ideal way to shop for power in Denison. Why is this important?

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

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

Unless you match the exact 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 select your energy rate.

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

Better still, if you have a year 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 find the right electricity plan for your home.

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

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans 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 exactly where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.

We then help you enroll with your chosen energy company without ever leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you should know your expected or historical usage before selecting the best electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you recently purchased a home or business, or you cannot obtain 12 months of usage history, you can always estimate the average amount of energy that 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 energy company at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

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

Moving to Denison: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up an electricity service in Denison, 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 cannot obtain historical usage information, a second option would be to estimate your future usage using our “Help Me Choose” tool. By simply entering your zip code, the tool can 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 Denison

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate every year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing energy provider will normally 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, shop the rates of competing energy providers.

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

Switching is easy:

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

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Denison 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 early from your current contract’s end date without an “early cancellation” 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’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 truly lowest 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

Denison was founded in 1872 by the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad (known as the 'Katy') as a major railroad junction and repair facility. The city was named after George Denison, a vice president of the railroad, and quickly became known as the 'Gateway City' because it was the first stop in Texas for travelers coming from the north across the Red River.

RECENT

In 2020, Denison completed a $23 million downtown revitalization project that transformed Main Street into a vibrant entertainment district with new restaurants, shops, and event spaces. The project included restoring several historic buildings from the early 1900s and has attracted over 50 new businesses to the downtown core, reversing decades of economic decline.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Denison is the birthplace of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, born here on October 14, 1890, in a small house that is now the Eisenhower Birthplace State Historic Site. The future Supreme Allied Commander and 34th President lived in Denison for his first two years before his family moved to Kansas, but he always maintained pride in his Texas roots.

DID YOU KNOW

Denison sits on one of the largest underground freshwater springs in North Texas, which was discovered accidentally in 1901 when workers drilling for oil instead struck an artesian well that shot water 40 feet into the air. This spring system still provides much of the city's water supply today and creates the cool, clear Denison Dam area that attracts thousands of visitors annually.

CULTURAL

Denison is home to the annual Eisenhower Marathon, which attracts runners from across the nation who come to race through the historic downtown and along scenic Lake Texoma. The city also hosts the Main Street Fall Festival, a tradition dating back to 1985 that features over 200 vendors, live music, and celebrates Denison's railroad heritage with vintage train displays and model railroad exhibitions.
