Oncor is Lucas’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 Lucas 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 Lucas 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 Lucas

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Understanding the electricity you use monthly is the best way to shop for power in Lucas. Why is this so vital?

The rate you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different equation for how your monthly statement is determined, and your monthly bill will change according to how much electricity you consume in a month.

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will pay a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you signed up.

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

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

Better yet, if you have a year 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 discover the right energy 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 done in a few moments.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers and navigating you step-by-step to the energy plan that’s best for your home’s usage.

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

We then assist you in enrolling with your selected energy company without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you should know your expected or historical usage before picking 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 own 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 shop for the best electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Lucas: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Lucas, 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 will be able to 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 term you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Lucas

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so shopping for a lower price every year is vital when your contract expires.

Your existing electricity provider will typically raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you do not act, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing electricity providers.

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 company 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 switch, your new energy company 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 Lucas 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 without an “early cancellation” fee. That’s Texas Law.

If you’re still under contract, find out 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 would like to know how to find the best plan remember that knowing 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 must collect the usage history for the past 12 months.

Lucas Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Lucas was founded in 1886 as a farming community along the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, originally named after the Lucas family who were early settlers and landowners in the area. The town remained a small agricultural community for nearly a century, with cotton and grain farming dominating the local economy until suburban development began transforming the landscape in the 1980s.

RECENT

In 2020, Lucas completed construction of its new $8.5 million municipal complex that consolidated city hall, police, fire, and community services under one roof. The LEED-certified building features solar panels, rainwater harvesting systems, and serves as an emergency shelter, representing the city's commitment to sustainability and modern municipal services.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music superstar Keith Whitley recorded several of his hit songs at a private studio in Lucas during the late 1980s, including tracks that would later appear on his platinum album 'Don't Close Your Eyes.' The rural setting and peaceful atmosphere of Lucas provided the perfect creative environment for the Kentucky-born singer during his brief but impactful career.

DID YOU KNOW

Lucas is home to one of the largest private collections of vintage fire trucks in Texas, housed at the Antique Fire Apparatus Museum on private property. The collection includes over 30 restored fire engines dating from 1923 to 1975, including a rare 1941 American LaFrance pumper that was featured in the movie 'Backdraft' and is worth over $200,000.

CULTURAL

Lucas has maintained its rural character by implementing some of the strictest development codes in North Texas, requiring minimum lot sizes of two acres and prohibiting commercial development within city limits. This has earned it the nickname 'The Last Small Town in Collin County,' and residents take pride in the fact that you can still see horses grazing in pastures just minutes from downtown Dallas.
