Your delivery utility

Who delivers electricity in Lufkin

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

Quick answers

Lufkin 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 Lufkin’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 Lufkin 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 Lufkin 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 Lufkin

Rule #1: Make sure you know your usage

To shop for the best rates in Lufkin, you must know your month-by-month energy usage.

Energy companies use a “price per kWh” rate based on exact monthly usage, usually based on 2,000 kWh.

Different plans use specific calculations to determine their monthly bills, which will vary based on your usage that month.

If you don’t match the advertised usage, you will pay more than you need each month.

Fortunately for customers in Lufkin, there is a better way to shop and compare energy rates.

In order to compare rates, you must know your historical 12-month usage and use that to calculate your monthly bill with each plan. That is the only way to get a plan that meets your needs.

Compare Power instantly makes those calculations.

Save hours and hours of research and calculations by sitting down with Compare Power.

Compare Power ensures that you always know where your money is going and never pay hidden fees or extra costs.

You can even complete a new plan sign-up without leaving the site.

As long as you know your expected month-by-month usage, you can get the right energy plan for your home.

Key: If you can’t access your historical usage, estimate.

New owners may be unable to access the 12-month historical usage of their homes. In that case, you should still estimate the energy you will use each month.

It’s not the ideal option, but it allows you to approach Compare Power with some idea of the amount of energy you will need from a plan and thus be able to choose the lowest rates based on your usage.

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

Moving to Lufkin: Setting up Electricity

Situated behind the “pine curtain” in east Texas, Lufkin was founded in 1882 and is home to 35,000 people.

Lufkin’s 34 square miles of land are characterized by hot summers and typically mild winters, but it is not hard to find some shade among all the trees.

For a day out, visit one of the old timber museums, like the Texas Forestry Museum, or walk around the Ellen Trout Zoo and Park.

Remember: If this is your first time buying a house in Lufkin, you must know your expected 12-month usage.

Your easiest option is to ask the previous homeowner for a copy of their utility bill. This will usually provide a historical usage section that will give you a good idea of your new home’s needs.

It will probably take some effort to figure out your usage, but it will pay off when you see your monthly savings.

Compare Power can take your information and immediately show you the best rate and all of your savings.

Note: Even if you can’t figure out your exact monthly usage, estimating is still helpful. The “Help Me Choose” tool will guide you through the process and help you out.

Once you’ve identified the best provider for your home in Lufkin, you can sign up straight on Compare Power and even get reminded next year when it is time to shop again.

Switching Electricity Companies in Lufkin

Prices are constantly changing due to rising competition between energy companies in Lufkin, Texas. That means shopping around for better rates and switching providers is a great time.

After a year with an electricity company, they will most likely raise your rate.

You should always look at the other options and find a lower rate to meet your needs.

Changing is easy:

  • No one has to visit your home.
  • There is no “break-up” phone call necessary.
  • Your power stays on.
  • The switch is complete in minutes.

After you switch to a new provider, they will communicate with your old company and end your relationship with them.

Since all energy in Lufkin is delivered by Oncor energy, you can keep your power on during the switch. All of the infrastructure stays the same, and no one has to come to change poles, lines, or meters.

State law even allows you to terminate an energy contract within 14 days of its end date without paying the penalty. Switching is easy.

If you’re still under a longer contract, you may have some choices. If your contract ends within 60 days, it may be helpful to talk to your new provider and see if they will delay the start of service. This will allow for a more seamless transition.

For some, though, the contract may have an even longer period. If that is the case, use Compare Power to determine the savings on a new energy plan and weigh it against the early termination fee. You may find that the monthly savings will balance it out.

Always remember, when you decide to switch, you should know your home’s electrical usage. That is the only way to ensure you get a lower rate.

Gather your historical monthly usage or estimate to save money each billing cycle.

Lufkin Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Lufkin was founded in 1882 as a railroad town by the Houston, East and West Texas Railway, named after Abraham P. Lufkin, a Galveston cotton merchant and close friend of the railroad's financiers. The city quickly became the timber capital of East Texas, with massive sawmills processing the region's abundant pine forests and making Lufkin one of the world's largest lumber-producing centers by the early 1900s.

RECENT

In 2020, Lufkin completed construction of the $45 million Pitt Road Entertainment District, featuring a state-of-the-art sports complex, amphitheater, and recreational facilities. The project has attracted regional tournaments and concerts, bringing thousands of visitors annually and revitalizing the local economy with new hotels and restaurants opening nearby.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star George Jones, known as 'No Show Jones' and 'The Possum,' was born in nearby Saratoga but got his start performing in Lufkin honky-tonks in the 1950s. His legendary drinking and unpredictable behavior became part of country music folklore, including the famous story of driving his lawnmower to a liquor store when his wife hid his car keys.

DID YOU KNOW

Lufkin is home to the world's largest hand-carved wooden chain, created by local artist Benny Bacak in 1976. The chain measures 1,860 feet long with 2,176 links, each carved from a single piece of pine wood without any breaks or joints. It took Bacak over two years to complete and is displayed at the Texas Forestry Museum, earning recognition from Ripley's Believe It or Not.

CULTURAL

Lufkin sits behind what locals call the 'Pine Curtain,' a cultural and geographical boundary that separates the heavily forested East Texas from the rest of the state. This region has its own distinct dialect, cuisine, and traditions more similar to the Deep South than typical Texas culture, including a love for sweet tea, catfish, and blues music that reflects the area's Louisiana and Arkansas influences.
