Quick answers

Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth’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 Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth 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.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Fort Worth was established in 1849 as a military outpost to protect settlers along the Trinity River, named after General William Jenkins Worth who served in the Mexican-American War. The city earned the nickname 'Cowtown' during the 1870s when it became the last major stop for cattle drives heading north on the Chisholm Trail, with cowboys spending their earnings in the city's saloons and businesses before the long journey ahead.

RECENT

In 2019, Fort Worth opened the $540 million Dickies Arena, a state-of-the-art venue that serves as the anchor for the Will Rogers Memorial Center expansion. The arena has already hosted major events including the NCAA Basketball Tournament and is set to be a key venue for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, cementing Fort Worth's status as a major sports and entertainment destination.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Van Cliburn, the legendary classical pianist who won the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow during the Cold War in 1958, was born and raised in Fort Worth. His victory was so significant that he received a ticker-tape parade in New York City and helped ease tensions between the US and Soviet Union through music, and the city now hosts the prestigious Van Cliburn International Piano Competition every four years.

DID YOU KNOW

Fort Worth is home to the only place in the world where you can see a daily cattle drive in an urban setting, as the Fort Worth Stockyards hosts twice-daily longhorn cattle drives down Exchange Avenue. The tradition began in 2005 and features real Texas Longhorn steers being herded by authentic cowboys on horseback, making it the world's only daily cattle drive in a major metropolitan area.

CULTURAL

Fort Worth has earned the distinction of being called the 'Museum Capital of the Southwest' with its Cultural District housing five world-class museums within walking distance of each other, including the Kimbell Art Museum which houses the only Michelangelo painting in the Americas. The city uniquely balances its cowboy heritage with sophisticated arts culture, leading to the local saying that Fort Worth is 'where the West begins and culture never ends,' distinguishing it from its flashier neighbor Dallas.
