Yes — most Tye 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 Tye today is 6.6¢ 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 Tye

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Determining how much electricity you will use each month is the ideal way to find a deal on energy in Tye. Why does this matter?

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

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

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will pay a “price per kWh” different than what you saw when you signed up.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to shop for an energy company.

Calculating your monthly bill based on estimated 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 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 discover the perfect electricity 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 the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers and assisting you step-by-step with the energy rate plan that’s best for your household’s consumption.

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

We then assist you in ordering your plan with your chosen power company without ever having to leave our website.

The bottom line is you should understand your expected or historical usage before ordering the best electricity 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 find the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Tye: Setting up Electricity

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

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 Tye

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so shopping for a lower rate yearly when your contract expires is essential.

Your existing energy provider will raise your energy rate once your contract 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, shop the rates of competing electricity 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.

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

You can choose any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an “early termination” 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 of breaking your existing contract.

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

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

Tye Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Tye was established in 1881 as a railroad town along the Texas and Pacific Railway, named after Colonel Tye, a railroad official who helped bring the line through this part of Taylor County. The town served as a crucial water stop and supply point for steam locomotives traveling between Fort Worth and El Paso, with the railroad depot becoming the heart of the community's early economic activity.

RECENT

In 2020, Tye completed a major infrastructure improvement project that upgraded the city's water treatment facility and replaced aging water lines throughout the community. This $2.8 million investment has improved water quality and pressure for residents while positioning the small city for future growth and development along the Interstate 20 corridor.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Tye was home to several notable Texas ranchers in the early 1900s, including members of the Compere family who established one of the largest cattle operations in West Texas. The Compere Ranch, which sprawled across thousands of acres around Tye, supplied beef to markets as far away as Kansas City and helped establish Taylor County as a major cattle-producing region.

DID YOU KNOW

Despite having a population of just over 1,100 people, Tye operates one of the most efficient volunteer fire departments in rural Texas, with response times that often beat larger municipal departments. The department's 25 volunteers serve not only Tye but also provide mutual aid to surrounding communities, covering over 100 square miles of Taylor County with their fleet of modern fire trucks and emergency equipment.

CULTURAL

Tye maintains a unique small-town tradition called 'Railroad Days' every fall, celebrating the town's heritage as a railroad community with vintage train displays, live music, and a community barbecue held at the original depot site. The event draws visitors from across the Big Country region and features model train exhibitions, historical reenactments, and storytelling sessions about life in early railroad towns, keeping the community's transportation heritage alive for new generations.
