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 Gorman’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 Gorman 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 Gorman 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 Gorman

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Discovering how much energy you will use monthly is the best way to shop for energy in Gorman. Why is this important?

The rate you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much energy you use each month.

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

Thankfully, there’s a better way to choose your electricity provider.

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

Even better, if you have 12 months 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 best way to determine the perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What could take you hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved quickly.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers and guiding you to the energy rate plan that’s best for your home’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 help you order your plan with your chosen power company without leaving our website.

The takeaway here is you must determine your expected or historical usage before selecting the right energy 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 electricity provider at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

Use Compare Power to find the best energy plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Gorman: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Gorman, 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 come back to switch and save at the end of the plan term you decide on.

Switching electricity companies in Gorman

Switching is good. Market conditions are always in flux, so it is important to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing electricity company will typically raise your energy 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 make the switch, your new electricity company will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Gorman 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 electricity 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 termination” fee. 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.

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.

The town quickly became a shipping point for peanuts, cotton, and livestock, with the railroad depot serving as the economic heart of this small Eastland County community for decades.

RECENT

In 2020, Gorman completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Kent 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 Red Steagall, known as the 'Cowboy Poet of Texas,' spent part of his childhood in Gorman and credits the small town atmosphere with shaping his Western musical style. He later became the official Cowboy Poet of Texas and has been inducted into the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame.

Gorman is home to one of the oldest continuously operating general stores in Texas, Gorman Pharmacy and General Store, which has been serving the community since 1902.

Every October, Gorman hosts the annual Peanut Festival, celebrating the town's agricultural heritage as one of Texas's historic peanut-growing regions. The festival features a peanut recipe contest, live music, and the crowning of a Peanut Queen, drawing hundreds of visitors to this town of just over 1,200 residents for a weekend of small-town Texas charm.
