Who delivers electricity in Keene

Oncor owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Keene. Whichever plan you pick, Oncor still delivers the power and restores outages — switching providers never changes your wires.

Quick answers

Keene 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 Keene’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 Keene 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 Keene 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 Keene

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining how much energy you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Keene. Why does this matter?

You see energy companies advertising the “price per kWh” for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly bill is calculated, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much power you use each month.

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

Fortunately, there’s a better way to shop for electricity rates.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on expected monthly usage, then comparing rates 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 and is the ideal way to discover the right electricity rate 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 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 energy plan that’s best for your home’s usage.

We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know exactly where your money is going and what to expect on your bill.

We help you sign up with your selected electricity company without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you must understand your expected or historical usage before selecting the best energy 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 energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Keene: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Keene, 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 length you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Keene

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

Your existing energy company will typically raise your electricity rate once your term 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, shop the rates of competing energy companies.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your energy 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 power supply
  • It takes just minutes

When you make the switch, your new energy provider will handle everything for you, including terminating service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Keene 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 within 14 days of your contract expiration without an “early cancellation” penalty. 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 of breaking 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 best price.

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

Keene electricity rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Keene was founded in 1893 by Seventh-day Adventists who established the town as a religious community centered around what is now Southwestern Adventist University. The town was named after Dr. George Butler Keene, a prominent Adventist leader, and was designed as a 'dry' community where alcohol sales were prohibited from its founding.

RECENT

In 2020, Keene completed a major downtown revitalization project that transformed the historic Main Street corridor with new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping. The $2.3 million project also included the restoration of several 1920s-era buildings that now house local businesses and a community event center.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star Josh Abbott, founder and lead singer of the Josh Abbott Band, grew up in Keene and graduated from Keene High School in 2001. The band has achieved multiple number-one hits on Texas country radio and has sold over 500,000 albums, with Abbott frequently mentioning his small-town Keene roots in interviews.

DID YOU KNOW

Keene is home to one of only three Seventh-day Adventist universities in the United States, and the entire town observes a 'quiet Friday evening to Saturday evening' tradition in respect of the Sabbath. Many local businesses close during these hours, and the town maintains special noise ordinances during Sabbath hours that have been in place for over 130 years.

CULTURAL

Every October, Keene hosts the annual 'Keene Pumpkin Festival' which features the largest pumpkin weigh-off competition in North Texas, with winning pumpkins often exceeding 1,000 pounds. The festival draws over 10,000 visitors annually and includes a parade of vintage tractors, live bluegrass music, and contests for everything from pumpkin carving to pumpkin pie eating.
