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 Tolar 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.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Tolar

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining the amount of energy you will consume month-to-month is the best way to shop for power in Tolar. Why is this so vital?

The “price per kWh” you see electricity providers advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will be determined by how much power you consume each month.

Unless you match the advertised usage each month, you will pay a “price per kWh” different than what you observed when enrolled.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to choose your energy company.

Calculating your expected monthly bill based on expected monthly usage, then comparing plans by the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the best 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 best way to determine the right energy plan for your home.

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

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers, and guide you step-by-step to the electricity rate plan that’s best for your home’s usage.

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

We then help you enroll with your selected power provider without leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you must understand your expected or historical usage before choosing the best electricity 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 electricity provider 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 Tolar: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Tolar, you need to get the best rate for your new home’s 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.

Sign-up for a plan in minutes 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 Tolar

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly in flux, so shopping for a lower rate each year is vital when your contract expires.

Your existing energy company will typically raise your electricity rate once your term expires. If you fail to 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 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 provider 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 switch, your new energy company will handle everything, including canceling service with your previous provider.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Tolar 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 companies. 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, check 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 of breaking your existing contract.

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 cheapest 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.

Tolar Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Tolar was founded in 1880 when the Texas and Pacific Railway established a station along their line through Hood County. The town was named after a railroad official, and quickly became a shipping point for local farmers and ranchers who brought their cotton, cattle, and grain to the depot for transport to larger markets in Fort Worth and Dallas.

RECENT

In 2020, Tolar completed a major infrastructure improvement project that upgraded the city's water treatment facility and expanded capacity to serve the growing population. The $2.3 million project was funded through a combination of state grants and municipal bonds, ensuring reliable water service for decades to come.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music songwriter and performer Red Steagall, known as the 'Cowboy Poet of Texas,' has strong ties to the Tolar area and has performed at local events. He's written songs for major artists including Ray Price and George Strait, and was named the Official Cowboy Poet of Texas by the state legislature in 1991.

DID YOU KNOW

Tolar is home to one of the last remaining original Texas and Pacific Railway depot buildings in Hood County, which now serves as a community center and museum. The 1880s structure still contains the original telegraph equipment and ticket window, and local historians have preserved train schedules and freight records dating back to the town's founding.

CULTURAL

Every October, Tolar hosts the annual Rattlesnake Roundup, a tradition that began in the 1960s when local ranchers organized to control the rattlesnake population in the area. The event now draws thousands of visitors who come to see snake handling demonstrations, enjoy live music, and participate in the famous rattlesnake chili cook-off competition.
