Oncor is Ector’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 Ector 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 Ector 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 Ector

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Determining how much electricity you will consume in a month is the ideal way to shop for energy in Ector. Why should you care?

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

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will change according to how much energy you use each month.

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

Thankfully, there’s a better way to shop for an energy provider.

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

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 ideal way to determine the perfect energy plan for your home.

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

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans, and guide you step-by-step to the energy rate 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 bill.

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your selected energy company without leaving our website.

The bottom line is you should know your expected or historical usage before choosing the right 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.

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

Moving to Ector: Setting up electricity

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

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 Ector

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

Your existing energy provider will normally raise your electricity rate once your term 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, 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 energy company will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Ector 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 pick any date up to 14 days before your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” penalty. 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 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 understanding your usage is the best way to find the truly lowest price.

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

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Ector was established in 1888 as a railroad town along the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, commonly known as the 'Katy.' The town was named after Confederate General Mathew Duncan Ector, who commanded Texas troops during the Civil War and later became a prominent judge and politician in postwar Texas.

RECENT

In 2020, Ector completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street, including the old general store and train depot. The project was funded through a combination of state historic preservation grants and local fundraising efforts, bringing new life to the small community's commercial district.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Ector was the childhood home of country music songwriter Red Lane, who penned numerous hits for country legends including 'The World Needs a Melody' for Loretta Lynn and several songs for Merle Haggard. Lane grew up in the 1940s when Ector was still a bustling railroad town, and he often credited his small-town upbringing for inspiring his heartfelt lyrics about rural American life.

DID YOU KNOW

Ector is home to one of the last remaining original Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad depots in North Texas, built in 1902 and still standing today. The depot features the original telegraph equipment used to coordinate train schedules, and local historians have discovered that it once processed over 50 trains per day during the height of the cotton shipping season in the early 1900s.

CULTURAL

Every October, Ector hosts the annual 'Rails and Tales Festival' that celebrates the town's railroad heritage with vintage train displays, storytelling sessions by local elders, and traditional crafts demonstrations. The festival draws visitors from across East Texas who come to experience authentic small-town hospitality and learn about the crucial role railroad towns played in developing rural Texas communities.
