Your delivery utility

Who delivers electricity in Tioga

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

Quick answers

Tioga electricity questions, answered

As of August 2026, plans we offer in the TNMP territory average 16.6¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly use, and today’s lowest effective rate is 8.2¢. Advertised rates move with your usage, so price plans at your own numbers.

TNMP is Tioga’s transmission and delivery utility. It owns the wires and meters and restores outages. You choose your retail electricity provider; TNMP delivers no matter who you pick.

Yes — most Tioga 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 Tioga today is 8.2¢ 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.

Electricity in Tioga is deregulated. As an energy consumer, you have a choice when picking a retail electricity provider (your energy provider), which gives you flexibility and power over your energy bills.

Deregulation of energy in Texas de-monopolized the electricity market for most of Texas, the city of Tioga included, which introduced lots of competition.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Tioga

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Determining the amount of energy you will consume month-to-month is the best way to find a deal on power in Tioga. Why is this important?

The “price per kWh” you see power companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (typically 1000 kWh).

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

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

Thankfully, there’s a better way to choose your electricity rate.

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

Better yet, 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 summer and winter months and is the absolute best way to determine your home’s ideal energy rate plan.

Compare Power does all this math for you in an instant. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in a few moments.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and assisting you step-by-step with the electricity plan that’s best for your household’s consumption.

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

We then help you order your plan with your selected electricity provider without ever leaving our service.

The bottom line is you should know your expected or historical usage before ordering the right 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.

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 energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Tioga: Setting up Electricity

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

Sign-up for a plan instantly through Compare Power. We will remind you when it’s time to return to switch and save at the end of the plan term you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Tioga

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

Your existing electricity provider will generally raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you do not act, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly more 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 energy bill.

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to contact 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 provider will take care of everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

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

You can choose any date up to 14 days before your contract ends without an “early termination” penalty. 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 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 knowing your usage is the best way to find the lowest rate.

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

Tioga Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Tioga was founded in 1881 when the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad extended its line through Grayson County. The town was named after Tioga County, Pennsylvania, by early settlers who had migrated from that region, bringing their northeastern heritage to the Texas frontier during the great westward expansion.

RECENT

In 2020, Tioga completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and added new sidewalks and period lighting. The project has attracted new businesses and helped preserve the town's small-town character while accommodating growth from nearby Sherman and Denison.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter Red Lane, who penned hits for Merle Haggard including 'The Fugitive' and 'If We Make It Through December,' was born and raised in Tioga. Lane's songs earned multiple Grammy nominations and helped define the Bakersfield sound of country music in the 1960s and 1970s.

DID YOU KNOW

Tioga sits on one of the largest underground salt domes in North Texas, which was discovered in the 1920s during oil exploration. The salt dome extends nearly 2,000 feet below ground and has influenced the area's geology so significantly that some local wells produce naturally salty water that early settlers used for preserving meat.

CULTURAL

Every October, Tioga hosts the annual Pumpkin Festival, which transforms the tiny town into a fall wonderland with over 10,000 pumpkins lining the streets and decorating every storefront. The festival draws visitors from across North Texas and features pumpkin carving contests, hayrides, and a pumpkin pie eating contest that has become legendary in Grayson County.
