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 Ovalo today is 6.6¢ 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 Ovalo

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Discovering how much electricity you will consume monthly is the best way to shop for energy in Ovalo. Why does this matter?

The “price per kWh” you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly bill is calculated, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much electricity you use in the month.

Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you ordered.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to select your power rate.

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

Even better, if you have 12 months 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 ideal way to determine the perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is solved in moments.

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

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

We then assist you in signing up with your chosen power company without ever having to leave our website.

The takeaway here is you should determine your expected or historical usage before choosing 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 shop for the best electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Ovalo: Setting up Electricity

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

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Ovalo

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is important to shop for a lower price every 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 take action, 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 energy 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 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 handle everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Ovalo 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 within 14 days of your contract expiration 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 companies 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 best rate.

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

Ovalo Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Ovalo was established in 1906 as a railroad town along the Abilene and Southern Railway line. The town's name comes from the Spanish word 'óvalo' meaning oval, reportedly chosen because the original townsite was laid out in an oval shape around a natural depression that served as the town center.

RECENT

In 2020, Ovalo completed a major water system upgrade that replaced aging infrastructure dating back to the 1940s. The $2.8 million project, funded through state grants and local bonds, ensures reliable water service for the next 50 years and has attracted several new families to the community.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter Red Lane, who penned hits for Merle Haggard including 'The Fugitive' and 'If We Make It Through December,' spent part of his childhood in Ovalo. Lane's experiences in this small West Texas town influenced many of his songs about rural life and working-class struggles.

DID YOU KNOW

Ovalo is home to one of the last remaining original Santa Fe Railway depot buildings in Taylor County, built in 1907. The depot now serves as the town's community center and museum, and still contains the original telegraph equipment that was used to coordinate train schedules across West Texas for over 60 years.

CULTURAL

Every Labor Day weekend, Ovalo hosts the annual 'Ovalo Days' celebration that draws visitors from across the Big Country region. The festival features a unique tradition called the 'Mesquite Bean Cook-off' where locals compete to create the most creative dishes using mesquite beans, celebrating the hardy desert plant that has sustained both wildlife and early settlers in the area for generations.
