Your delivery utility

Who delivers electricity in Italy

Oncor owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Italy. Whichever plan you pick, Oncor still delivers the power and restores outages — switching providers never changes your wires. Every price on this page already includes Oncor delivery charges. If a rate elsewhere looks lower, check whether delivery is in it yet.

Quick answers

Italy 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 Italy’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 Italy 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 Italy 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.

We currently price 122 plans in Italy, every one from a PUCT-licensed provider we work with, priced with delivery included.

As a resident or business owner in Italy, you can choose the electricity provider that best meets your specific needs.

Compare Power is a free consumer service established in 2009 to help residents of Italy search for their lowest-rate electricity plan.

These official rates are the identical prices you’ll find calling the electricity providers or visiting them online.

Plans from many different energy providers are presented in a simple grid that makes comparing your options simple and quick.

This assists Texas consumers in avoiding hidden markups and advertising gimmicks by comparing plans “apples-to-apples” without wasting hours and hours calling different energy companies or clicking around on hundreds of websites.

Energy in Italy has been deregulated. As an energy customer, you can choose when selecting a retail electricity provider (your energy company), which gives you flexibility and power over your energy bill.

Deregulation of electricity in Texas de-monopolized the energy market for most of Texas, which introduced lots of competition.

As a result, many fantastic energy providers compete for your business in Italy by offering low prices, making it a great time to shop, switch, and lower costs on your electricity bill.

As many as 100+ energy companies compete for your account in Italy, with hundreds of plans to sort through.

How to find the best energy plan in Italy

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Discovering how much energy you will use monthly is the best way to find a deal on power in Italy. Why is this so vital?

The rate you see power providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is calculated, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much energy you consume each month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage 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 select your power provider.

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

Better yet, if you have 12 months 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 determine the perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now done in just moments.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers and guide you step-by-step to the electricity rate plan that’s best for your household’s consumption.

We clarify the fine print, disclosing the various charges, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your monthly bill.

We then help you signing-up with your selected power provider without ever having to leave our website.

The bottom line is you must understand your expected or historical usage before ordering 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.

Although knowing the previous 12 months of usage is optimum, it is far better to estimate the average energy consumption than to select the first electricity provider that you see advertised. After all, you have no idea how much energy you will use at that point.

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

Moving to Italy: Setting up electricity

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

Sign-up for a plan instantly through Compare Power. We will remind you when it’s time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching electricity companies in Italy

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is important to shop for a lower price every year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing electricity company will typically 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 higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing energy companies.

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

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to contact your current provider to cancel (no “break-up call”)
  • No one comes to your home
  • There is no disruption in your electricity supply
  • It takes just minutes

When you make the switch, your new electricity company will handle everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Italy is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity 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 providers 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 knowing your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

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

Italy electricity rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Italy, Texas was founded in 1879 by the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad and was originally named 'Houston' after railroad surveyor H.K. Houston. The name was changed to Italy in 1888 when postal confusion arose with Houston, Texas, and local legend claims it was named after Italy because the rolling hills reminded settlers of the Italian countryside.

RECENT

In 2018, Italy completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and added new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping. The project has attracted new businesses and helped preserve the town's small-town charm while boosting tourism and local economic development.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Italy is the hometown of country music legend Tex Ritter, born in 1905, who became one of America's most popular singing cowboys in films and radio. Ritter recorded classics like 'High Noon' and was inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Western Music Hall of Fame, and he was also the father of actor John Ritter.

DID YOU KNOW

Italy, Texas is home to one of the most famous UFO incidents in American history, known as the 'Aurora UFO Incident' of 1897, which allegedly occurred just north of town. According to newspaper reports from the time, an airship crashed into a windmill, killing the 'Martian' pilot who was supposedly buried in the local cemetery, making it one of the earliest recorded UFO crash stories in the United States.

CULTURAL

Italy hosts an annual 'Gladiator Days' festival each fall that celebrates the town's high school football team, the Italy Gladiators, with a parade, carnival, and community festivities. The festival has become a beloved tradition that brings together current residents and former Italy natives from across the country, showcasing the town's strong sense of community pride and school spirit that dates back generations.
