Your delivery utility

Who delivers electricity in Sherman

Oncor owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Sherman. Whichever plan you pick, Oncor still delivers the power and restores outages — switching providers never changes your wires. Every price on this page already includes Oncor delivery charges. If a rate elsewhere looks lower, check whether delivery is in it yet.

Quick answers

Sherman 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 Sherman’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 Sherman 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 Sherman 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 Sherman

#1 rule: Know your usage!

As you search for a new electricity provider, it’s important that you know your monthly usage rate. Why? Because providers use a standardized rate for all of their quotes.

You might fall into the group of consumers who use this rate per month. More than likely, you use more or less than the quoted rate.

This means the quoted price is unlikely to represent what will appear on your bill.

Compare Power levels the playing field by customizing quotes based on your actual usage. The rates presented by Compare Power are updated based on provider information and show you how much you can expect to spend each month.

If you can’t find previous bills or meter readings, take your best guess at monthly usage. This isn’t a perfect solution, but you’ll avoid picking a provider who charges you more than you’d like to spend.

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

Moving to Sherman: Setting up Electricity

Important: If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Sherman, you’ll need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home to get the best rate.

An easy way to find the previous usage in a new property is to ask the landlord or previous owner. This information might require research but will help you save in the long run.

Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the right plan for your home’s usage needs.

Note: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can’t obtain a usage history. Utilize the “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and Compare Power will help you evaluate your home’s usage.

Switching Electricity Companies in Sherman

Each year presents an opportunity to shop around for inexpensive electricity rates. The end of your electricity contract also means your provider can raise your rate. Shopping around for a new provider is a good idea if you want to save money each year.

Switching is easy because:

  • You don’t have to call your current provider to cancel.
  • No one comes to your house.
  • There is no disruption in your electricity.
  • It takes just minutes.

When you switch, your new electricity company will handle everything, including ending service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch because the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility delivers electricity in Sherman.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch electricity providers.

A few considerations can help you decide whether to make the switch:

  • Texas state law allows cancellation within 14 days of a contract ending without penalty.
  • Most plans allow the establishment of future starting dates 60 days before the date.
  • A cheaper plan might make early termination penalties worthwhile.

Sherman Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Sherman was founded in 1846 and named after General Sidney Sherman, a hero of the Battle of San Jacinto who famously shouted 'Remember the Alamo!' during the charge that secured Texas independence. The city became a major railroad hub when the Houston and Texas Central Railway arrived in 1872, transforming it from a small farming community into North Texas's most important transportation center.

RECENT

In 2020, Sherman completed construction of the $185 million Texoma Medical Center, one of the largest healthcare facilities in North Texas outside the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The state-of-the-art hospital brought over 1,200 jobs to the area and serves as a regional medical hub for patients from Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music legend Buck Owens was born in Sherman in 1929 before his family moved to California during the Dust Bowl. He later became a pioneer of the 'Bakersfield Sound' and co-hosted the television show 'Hee Haw' for over two decades, but always credited his Sherman roots for shaping his musical style and work ethic.

DID YOU KNOW

Sherman is home to the only courthouse in Texas that was struck by lightning and survived a tornado on the same day in 1896. The Grayson County Courthouse's clock tower was hit by lightning during a severe thunderstorm, and just hours later, a tornado swept through downtown, yet the building remained standing and still serves as the county courthouse today.

CULTURAL

Sherman hosts the annual 'Texoma Lakefest' on nearby Lake Texoma, which draws over 100,000 visitors each summer for what's considered one of Texas's largest lake festivals. The event features hydroplane racing, live music, and a unique 'anything that floats' race where participants build creative watercraft from unconventional materials, celebrating the city's deep connection to Lake Texoma, one of the largest reservoirs in the United States.
