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

Quick answers

Valley View 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 Valley View’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 Valley View 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 Valley View 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 Valley View

#1 rule: Usage is king!

Discovering how much electricity you will consume monthly is the best way to find a deal on energy in Valley View. Why does this matter?

The rate you see energy 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 use in the month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will pay a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you signed up.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to shop for an electricity plan.

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

Better still, if you have 12 months 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 find 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 done in a few seconds.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and computations across hundreds of offers and navigating you step-by-step to the energy rate plan that’s best for your home’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 bill.

We then assist you in enrolling with your chosen energy company without ever having to leave our website.

The bottom line is you must determine 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.

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 electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Valley View: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Valley View, 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 term you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Valley View

Switching is good. Market conditions constantly change, so you must shop for a lower rate each year when your contract expires.

Your existing electricity provider will typically raise your electricity 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 providers.

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 power supply
  • It takes just minutes

When you decide to switch, your new energy company will handle everything, including terminating service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Valley View 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 providers. 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. 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.

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 find the best plan, remember that understanding your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

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

Valley View Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Valley View was established in 1886 when the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad built through the area, creating a vital shipping point for local farmers and ranchers. The town was named for its scenic location in a valley between rolling hills, and it quickly became a hub for cotton farming and cattle ranching in northern Cooke County during the late 1800s.

RECENT

In 2020, Valley View completed a major downtown revitalization project that restored several historic buildings along Main Street and added new sidewalks and period lighting. The project was funded through a combination of state grants and local fundraising efforts, bringing new life to the small town's commercial district and attracting visitors from nearby Gainesville and Denton.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Valley View was the childhood home of country music songwriter Red Lane, who penned numerous hits for country legends including 'The World Needs a Melody' for Loretta Lynn and several songs for Conway Twitty. Lane grew up on a farm outside Valley View in the 1940s and often credited his small-town Texas upbringing for inspiring his songwriting style that captured rural American life.

DID YOU KNOW

Valley View is home to one of the oldest continuously operating general stores in North Texas, Pecan Creek General Store, which has been serving the community since 1892. The store still features its original wooden floors, tin ceiling, and antique cash register, and locals say you can still buy everything from penny candy to farm supplies just like customers did over 130 years ago.

CULTURAL

Every October, Valley View hosts the annual Pumpkin Festival, a tradition that began in 1978 when local farmers wanted to celebrate their pumpkin harvest. The festival features a giant pumpkin contest, homemade pie competition, and live bluegrass music, drawing visitors from across North Texas who come to experience authentic small-town Texas hospitality and sample some of the region's best pumpkin dishes.
