Who delivers electricity in Murphy

Oncor owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Murphy. 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 Murphy’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 Murphy 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 Murphy 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 Murphy

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing how much electricity you will use each month is the best way to find a deal on energy in Murphy. Why is this important?

The rate you see energy companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much power you consume each month.

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

Thankfully, there’s a better way to shop for an energy company.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on anticipated monthly usage, then comparing options by total monthly cost is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for your home.

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 months and is the best way to determine the ideal electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now done in a few moments.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans, and navigate you step-by-step to the energy rate plan that’s best for your home’s usage.

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

We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen power company without ever having to leave our service.

The bottom line is you should determine your expected or historical usage before ordering the best electricity 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.

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 find the best electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Murphy: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Murphy, 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 return to switch and save at the end of the plan term you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Murphy

Switching is good. Market conditions constantly change, so you must shop for a lower rate each year when your contract expires.

Your existing energy company will typically raise your electricity 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 energy providers.

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 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 decide to switch, your new electricity 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 Murphy 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 energy 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 termination” 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 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 find the best plan, remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

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

Murphy Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Murphy was founded in 1888 when the St. Louis Southwestern Railway built through the area, and the town was named after William Murphy, a railroad contractor who helped establish the depot. The community remained a small farming settlement for decades, with cotton and grain as the primary crops, until suburban development transformed it in the late 20th century.

RECENT

In 2020, Murphy completed construction of its new $8.5 million Community Center, featuring a state-of-the-art fitness facility, indoor walking track, and multipurpose rooms. The 25,000-square-foot facility has become a hub for community activities and represents the city's commitment to providing modern amenities for its growing population.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Murphy is home to several professional athletes, including former Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware, who lived in the city during his NFL career. The town has also been home to various Dallas Stars hockey players and other professional athletes who appreciate its proximity to Dallas while maintaining a small-town atmosphere.

DID YOU KNOW

Murphy holds the unique distinction of being one of the few cities in Texas where the original 1888 railroad depot still stands and operates as a community center. The restored depot serves as a reminder of the town's railroad heritage and hosts weddings, community events, and historical displays, making it a living piece of North Texas history.

CULTURAL

Murphy has earned recognition as a 'Tree City USA' for over 20 consecutive years, maintaining its commitment to preserving the natural canopy that gives the city its distinctive character. The city requires developers to preserve existing trees whenever possible and has strict ordinances protecting heritage oaks, some of which are over 100 years old and predate the town's founding.
