Quick answers

Poynor 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 Poynor’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 Poynor 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 Poynor 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 Poynor

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing the amount of energy you will use monthly is the best way to find a deal on power in Poynor. Why does this matter?

The rate electricity providers advertise for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly bill is determined, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much electricity you use in a month.

Unless you use precisely the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you enrolled.

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

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 you.

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 find your home’s ideal electricity rate plan.

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

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers and assisting you step-by-step with the energy rate 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 monthly bill.

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

The bottom line is you must 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 monthly energy usage.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly choosing the first plan you see advertised by an energy company at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

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

Moving to Poynor: Setting up Electricity

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

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

Your existing energy provider 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 call your current company 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 handle everything, including canceling service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Poynor 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 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 cancellation” 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 understanding your usage is the best way to find the best rate.

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.

Poynor Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Poynor was established in the 1850s and named after William Poynor, an early settler who operated a general store and post office in the area. The town served as a vital stop along the stagecoach route between Tyler and Palestine, helping travelers and freight wagons navigate the dense East Texas pine forests during the frontier era.

RECENT

In 2020, Poynor completed a major infrastructure upgrade that brought high-speed fiber internet to all residents and businesses in the city limits. This $2.3 million project, funded through federal rural development grants, transformed the small town into one of the most connected rural communities in East Texas, attracting remote workers and small tech businesses.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter and producer Billy Sherrill, who penned hits like 'Stand By Your Man' for Tammy Wynette and produced numerous chart-toppers for George Jones, spent his childhood summers in Poynor visiting his grandparents. He often credited the peaceful East Texas countryside with inspiring his storytelling approach to songwriting that would later define the Nashville Sound of the 1960s and 70s.

DID YOU KNOW

Poynor is home to the world's largest collection of antique syrup mills, housed in a private museum that contains over 150 working sorghum and ribbon cane mills dating back to the 1800s. The collection was started by local resident James Mitchell in 1965 and includes mills from across the American South, with some rare examples that were used on Texas plantations before the Civil War.

CULTURAL

Every October, Poynor hosts the annual 'Piney Woods Heritage Festival' where residents demonstrate traditional East Texas crafts like blacksmithing, quilting, and sorghum syrup making using authentic 19th-century methods. The festival draws visitors from across the region who come to experience authentic pioneer life, complete with ox-drawn wagon rides through the surrounding pine forests and traditional folk music performances by local musicians.
