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

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 Milford’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 Milford 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 Milford 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 Milford

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining the amount of energy you will consume monthly is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Milford. Why is this so vital?

The electricity companies advertise for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly bill is calculated, and your monthly bill will change according to how much electricity you consume in the month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will pay a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you ordered.

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

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

Better yet, 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 months and is the ideal way to discover the right electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you instantly. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is solved briefly.

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

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

We then help you enroll with your chosen power provider without ever leaving our service.

The bottom line is you should know your expected or historical usage before ordering the right electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business or cannot obtain 12 months of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate your average energy in any given 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 find the best electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Milford: Setting up Electricity

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

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is about to expire.

Your existing energy provider will typically raise your energy rate once your contract expires. If you fail to act, 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 electricity providers.

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

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to call 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 decide to switch, your new energy provider will take care of everything for you, including terminating service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Milford 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 up to 14 days before your contract’s end date without an “early termination” fee. Texas law protects you here.

If you’re still under contract, find out 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 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.

Milford Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Milford was established in 1881 as a railroad town along the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad, commonly known as the 'Katy.' The town was named after Milford, Connecticut, by early settlers who wanted to honor their northeastern roots while building a new life in the Texas prairie.

RECENT

In 2020, Milford completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings from the early 1900s along Main Street. The project included new sidewalks, period-appropriate street lighting, and facade improvements that have attracted several new small businesses to the area.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter Red Lane, who penned hits for Merle Haggard including 'The Fugitive' and 'If We Make It Through December,' was born and raised in Milford. Lane's songs earned multiple Grammy nominations and helped define the Bakersfield sound of country music in the 1970s.

DID YOU KNOW

Milford is home to one of the last remaining original Katy Railroad depots in Ellis County, built in 1902 and still standing today. The depot served as a crucial stop for cotton shipments during the early 20th century and now houses a small museum displaying artifacts from the town's railroad heritage.

CULTURAL

Every October, Milford hosts the annual 'Katy Days Festival' celebrating its railroad heritage with vintage train displays, live bluegrass music, and a chili cook-off. The festival draws visitors from across North Texas and features a parade of restored antique tractors and farm equipment, reflecting the town's agricultural roots that continue today.
