Who delivers electricity in Tarzan

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

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining how much energy you will consume month-to-month is the ideal way to find a deal on electricity in Tarzan. Why should you care?

The rate you see energy providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much power you use in a month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you enrolled.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to choose your power company.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing rates with the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the best rate for your household.

Better still, 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 discover the right energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all this math for you instantly. What takes hours inside a spreadsheet is now solved in just seconds.

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

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

We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen energy provider without leaving our website.

The bottom line is you must determine your expected or historical usage before choosing the best energy 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 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 electricity provider at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

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

Moving to Tarzan: Setting up Electricity

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

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 possibly switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Tarzan

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

Your existing electricity provider will typically raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you do not take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate that is significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing energy companies.

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 electricity supply
  • It takes just minutes

When you decide to switch, your new energy company will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Tarzan 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 electricity providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an “early cancellation” penalty. 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 companies up to 6o days in advance.

And even if you’re well inside your contract, savings achieved on your monthly bill by switching providers 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 cheapest rate.

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

Tarzan Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Tarzan was established in 1906 as a railroad stop on the Texas and Pacific Railway, originally named after a local rancher's brand. The town got its famous name in the 1920s when the post office was renamed 'Tarzan' after Edgar Rice Burroughs' famous jungle character, making it one of the few places in America named after a fictional character. The name change was reportedly suggested by a postal worker who was a fan of the Tarzan stories.

RECENT

In 2019, Tarzan gained unexpected internet fame when its population sign reading 'Tarzan Pop. 25' went viral on social media platforms. The tiny community has since embraced its newfound attention, with visitors from around the world stopping to take photos with the iconic population sign, boosting local tourism despite having virtually no commercial establishments.

OTHER

FAMOUS PEOPLE/EVENTS: While Tarzan itself hasn't produced major celebrities, it has become a pilgrimage site for Edgar Rice Burroughs fans and collectors of Tarzan memorabilia from around the world. The town has been featured in numerous travel documentaries and quirky American town features, including appearances on the Travel Channel and in National Geographic articles about unusual place names.

DID YOU KNOW

Tarzan is one of the smallest incorporated communities in Texas with a post office, and its ZIP code 79783 serves an area larger than the actual town population. The community is so small that it doesn't have a single business establishment, gas station, or restaurant, yet it maintains its own ZIP code and appears on official Texas maps, making it a true 'blink and you'll miss it' destination.

OTHER

CULTURAL/UNIQUE: Despite having only 25 residents, Tarzan receives hundreds of visitors annually who come specifically to see the town sign and mail postcards from the Tarzan post office. The community has become an unofficial landmark for road trip enthusiasts traveling across West Texas, and locals have embraced their unique claim to fame by maintaining the iconic population sign that has become a symbol of small-town America.
