Quick answers

Killeen 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 Killeen’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 Killeen 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 Killeen 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 Killeen

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Knowing how much energy you will use each month is the best way to find power in Killeen. Why is this important?

Energy companies advertise their rates using a baseline rate rather than customizing quotes based on your usage rate. Your usage rate might differ from the rate used in a quote, meaning that your monthly bill may be higher or lower than the quoted rate.

Compare Power offers an improved shopping experience because the site allows you to compare plans based on your electrical usage. All you need to get an accurate quote is your current year’s usage.

Once you input your usage, you will see competing electrical plans and rates based on your usage. Each quote includes fees often left out by other comparison tools. After choosing a plan, you can complete the signup without leaving the site.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire your previous year’s usage or own a new home or office, the next best thing is to estimate your monthly usage.

While not ideal, estimating your average monthly usage is better than selecting the first plan you see advertised at a rate that doesn’t match your energy consumption.

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

Moving to Killeen: Setting up Electricity

Killeen is home to the Vive Les Arts Theatre, Central Texas College, and several public parks. The city is also near Fort Hood, which employs more than 58,000 people.

Important: If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Killeen, you need to get the previous year’s energy usage for your home for the best rate.

To get previous usage rates, ask the previous homeowner or property owner to check their billing statements for exact figures. By making a little effort to piece this information together, you will save time and money.

Once you have these numbers, Compare Power can find the right plan for your power needs. You can use the “Help Me Choose” tool to estimate your monthly usage. Compare Power reminds you to return and switch your plan at the end of your current contract.

Switching Electricity Companies in Killeen

Because energy market conditions change constantly, shopping for a lower price every year when your contract expires is vital.

Your current electricity provider will typically raise your electricity rate once your contract expires.

Before renewing your contract, check the rates of competing electricity providers. Switching can save you lots of money each year by reducing your monthly bill.

Switching is simple:

  • There’s no break-up call with your provider
  • No one from the company comes to your home or office
  • Your power won’t go out
  • It’s done in a few minutes

When you switch, your new provider will cancel service with your previous energy provider.

When you switch, there is no loss of power. Electricity in Killeen is delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home stay the same regardless of your electricity provider.

Texas law states you can choose any cancellation date within two weeks of your contract expiration without a termination penalty.

If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain. You may be able to set up a new contract date within 60 days of your current contract’s expiration.

Even with months left on your existing contract, savings on your monthly bill from a switch may outweigh the fee to break your current contract.

Gather last year’s usage data to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household. This is the best way to find your next plan through Compare Power.

Killeen Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Killeen was founded in 1882 as a railroad town along the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, named after Frank P. Killeen, the assistant general manager of the railroad. The city remained a small farming community until 1942 when the U.S. Army established Camp Hood (now Fort Cavazos, formerly Fort Hood) nearby, transforming Killeen from a sleepy town of 1,200 residents into a bustling military community that would become one of Texas's fastest-growing cities.

RECENT

In 2023, Fort Hood was officially renamed Fort Cavazos to honor General Richard Edward Cavazos, the first Hispanic four-star general in the U.S. Army, marking a significant milestone in the base's history. This change has brought renewed attention to Killeen as the city adapts its identity alongside the military installation that drives its economy, with new businesses and developments capitalizing on the base's continued expansion and modernization efforts.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Killeen is the hometown of several notable figures, including NFL players like Adrian Peterson, the former Minnesota Vikings running back and NFL MVP, and Dat Nguyen, the first Vietnamese-American to play in the NFL. The city's proximity to the military base has also made it home to numerous decorated military officers and Medal of Honor recipients who have contributed significantly to American military history.

DID YOU KNOW

Killeen is home to one of the most unique geological features in Central Texas—a series of underground caves that were discovered during construction projects in the 1990s, some containing fossils dating back over 100 million years. The city also holds the distinction of having one of the highest concentrations of food trucks per capita in Texas, with over 200 mobile food vendors serving the diverse military population, creating an incredibly eclectic culinary scene that rivals much larger cities.

CULTURAL

Killeen celebrates one of Texas's most diverse cultural festivals, the annual 'Celebrate Killeen' event, which showcases the traditions of over 40 different countries represented by military families stationed at Fort Cavazos. The city has also become known as the 'Gateway to Fort Cavazos' and maintains a unique tradition where local businesses offer military discounts year-round, creating a community culture of military appreciation that extends far beyond typical Veterans Day observances.
