Oncor owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in Taylor. Whichever plan you pick, Oncor still delivers the power and restores outages — switching providers never changes your wires.

Quick answers

Taylor 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 Taylor’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 Taylor 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 Taylor 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.

As a resident or business owner within Taylor, you can choose the electricity provider that best meets your needs.

Compare Power is a free consumer service started in 2009 to help Taylor shop for the best electricity plan.

These official rates are the same rates you’ll find calling the energy providers or visiting them online.

This helps Texas energy customers avoid hidden markups and advertising gimmicks by comparing plans “apples-to-apples” without spending hours calling different energy providers or sorting through dozens of websites.

Energy in Taylor has been deregulated. As an energy customer, you have a choice when selecting a retail electricity provider (your electricity provider), which gives you insight and command over your energy bill.

Deregulation of electricity in the state de-monopolized the electricity market for most of the state, the city of Taylor included, which introduced massive competition.

As a result, many excellent retail electricity providers compete for your business in Taylor by offering low prices, making it a great time to compare, switch, and save money on your energy statement.

As many as 100+ energy companies compete for your business in Taylor, and there are hundreds of plans to select from.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Taylor

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Discovering the amount of electricity you will use monthly is the best way to shop for energy in Taylor. Why does this matter?

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

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

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

Fortunately, there’s a better way to select your power provider.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on expected monthly usage, then comparing plans by total monthly cost is the best way to shop for the best rate for your household.

Better yet, 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 your home’s ideal energy rate plan.

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

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of plans and guiding you to the best electricity plan for your home’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 monthly bill.

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your selected energy provider without leaving our website.

The takeaway is that you must know your expected or historical usage before choosing the best energy 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.

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 find the best electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Taylor: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Taylor, 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: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can’t obtain a usage history. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when renewing your existing plan or possibly switching plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Taylor

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 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, shop the rates of competing electricity companies.

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 electricity company will handle everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Taylor 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 companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date up to 14 days before your contract’s end date 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 providers up to 6o days in advance.

The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

If you’re ready to switch and want to find the best plan, remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

Keep in mind that when you get ready to switch and you want to know the most efficient way to find the right plan at the best rate, it is essential that you first understand your usage. To accomplish that, you must collect the usage history for the past 12 months.

Taylor Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Taylor was founded in 1876 as a railroad town when the International-Great Northern Railroad established a major rail yard and roundhouse here. The city was named after Edward Moses Taylor, a railroad official, and quickly became known as the 'Crossroads of Texas' because it sat at the intersection of two major rail lines that connected all corners of the state.

RECENT

In 2020, Taylor made national headlines by landing a massive $17 billion Samsung semiconductor manufacturing facility, the largest foreign direct investment in Texas history. The plant, expected to employ over 2,000 people when fully operational by 2024, has transformed Taylor from a quiet railroad town into a major tech hub practically overnight.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Taylor is the birthplace of Bill Pickett, the legendary African American cowboy who invented the rodeo sport of bulldogging (steer wrestling) in the 1880s. Pickett became the first Black cowboy inducted into the National Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame and was featured on a U.S. postage stamp, with his innovative technique still used in rodeos worldwide today.

DID YOU KNOW

Taylor is home to the world's largest urban prairie dog town, covering over 26 acres in Murphy Park with an estimated 3,000+ black-tailed prairie dogs. The colony has become so famous that it attracts wildlife researchers from around the globe, and the city has built viewing platforms and educational trails around the prairie dog habitat, making it a unique tourist attraction.

CULTURAL

Every July, Taylor hosts the International Barbecue Cookoff, which has been running since 1978 and attracts over 40,000 visitors annually. The event features teams from around the world competing in various meat categories, and Taylor proudly claims the title 'International Barbecue Capital of Texas,' with the winning recipes often becoming legendary in BBQ circles across the state.
