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

Quick answers

Troup 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 Troup’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 Troup 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 Troup 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 Troup

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Knowing the amount of electricity you will use in a month is the ideal way to shop for power in Troup. Why is this important?

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

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much electricity you use each 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.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to pick your power plan.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on estimated monthly usage, then comparing plans by the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the lowest rate for you.

Even better, if you have a year 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 find the perfect energy plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What could take hours inside a spreadsheet is solved in a few seconds.

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

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

We then assist you in enrolling with your selected power company without leaving our website.

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

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 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 Troup: Setting up Electricity

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

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 length you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Troup

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is about to expire.

Your existing electricity 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, 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 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 electricity company will take care of everything for you, including terminating service with your previous company.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Troup 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 electricity 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. That’s Texas Law.

If you’re still under contract, check how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies 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 would like to know how 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.

Troup Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Troup was founded in 1872 as a railroad town along the Texas and Pacific Railway, named after Governor George M. Troup of Georgia. The town served as a crucial water stop for steam locomotives traveling between Dallas and Shreveport, and its strategic location made it a vital shipping point for East Texas timber and agricultural products during the late 1800s.

RECENT

In 2020, Troup completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and added new sidewalks, period lighting, and landscaping. The project has attracted new businesses to the downtown area and helped preserve the city's small-town charm while modernizing infrastructure for residents and visitors.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star Miranda Lambert's grandparents lived in Troup, and she spent many childhood summers in the small East Texas town. Lambert has often spoken about how her time in Troup influenced her music and connection to rural Texas life, and she still maintains family ties to the area.

DID YOU KNOW

Troup is home to one of the last remaining original Texas and Pacific Railway depots in East Texas, built in 1901 and still standing today. The depot now serves as a museum and community center, and railroad enthusiasts from across the country visit to see the authentic Victorian-era architecture and learn about the town's railroad heritage.

CULTURAL

Every October, Troup hosts the annual Troup Yamboree, a festival celebrating the area's sweet potato harvest that has been running for over 40 years. The festival features sweet potato pie contests, live music, arts and crafts, and the crowning of the Yamboree Queen, drawing thousands of visitors to this small town of fewer than 2,000 residents.
