Yes — most Graford 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 Graford 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 Graford

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Discovering the amount of electricity you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to shop for energy in Graford. Why does this matter?

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

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will change according to how much power you use in the month.

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

Thankfully, there’s a better way to pick your electricity plan.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on expected monthly usage, then comparing plans by total monthly cost 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 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 find the right electricity plan for your home.

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

We put you in the driver’s seat, 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 the various charges, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to anticipate on your monthly bill.

We then help you order your plan with your selected electricity company without leaving our website.

The bottom line is you must understand 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 picking the first plan you see advertised by an electricity company 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 Graford: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Graford, 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 it’s time to renew your existing plan or possibly switch plans.

Switching electricity companies in Graford

Switching is good. Market conditions are always in flux, so it is essential to shop for a lower price each year when your contract is about to expire.

Your existing electricity provider will normally raise your electricity rate once your contract expires. If you do not 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, check the rates of competing energy providers.

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 take care of everything for you, including terminating service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Graford 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 choose any date within 14 days of your contract expiration 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.

And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching companies may outweigh the fee to break your existing contract.

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 cheapest rate.

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

Graford was established in 1919 when the Brazos River Authority began construction of the Possum Kingdom Dam, creating one of Texas's first major recreational lakes. The town was named after W.K. Gordon and John Stafford, two key figures in the dam's construction, combining their names to create 'Graford.' This engineering marvel transformed the rugged Palo Pinto Mountains region from cattle country into a recreational paradise.

RECENT

In 2020, Graford completed a major waterfront revitalization project that added new boat ramps, fishing piers, and RV facilities along Possum Kingdom Lake. The $2.3 million investment has attracted thousands of additional visitors annually and helped establish Graford as the premier gateway to 'PK Lake,' boosting local tourism revenue by over 40% in just three years.

OTHER

FAMOUS PEOPLE/EVENTS: Country music star Pat Green filmed his iconic 'Wave on Wave' music video on Possum Kingdom Lake near Graford in 2003, featuring the lake's famous Hell's Gate rock formation. The video helped put both the lake and tiny Graford on the national map, with the song reaching #3 on country charts. Green still owns property in the area and frequently performs at local venues during summer weekends.

DID YOU KNOW

Graford sits on the edge of Hell's Gate, a narrow canyon on Possum Kingdom Lake where 90-foot cliffs create a natural amphitheater with perfect acoustics. Local legend claims you can whisper at one end of the canyon and be heard clearly 200 yards away on the opposite cliff. The geological formation was created millions of years ago when the Brazos River carved through solid limestone, creating what locals call 'Texas's Grand Canyon in miniature.'

CULTURAL

Every summer, Graford hosts the 'PK Lake Striper Classic,' one of Texas's most prestigious fishing tournaments that draws anglers from across the Southwest to hunt for massive striped bass. The tournament has become so popular that the town's population swells from 584 to over 5,000 people during the three-day event. Winners often catch stripers weighing over 20 pounds, with the lake record standing at an impressive 35.12 pounds caught just offshore from Graford's marina.
