Your delivery utility

Who delivers electricity in Venus

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

Quick answers

Venus 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 Venus’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 Venus 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 Venus 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.

We currently price 122 plans in Venus, every one from a PUCT-licensed provider we work with, priced with delivery included.

Energy in Venus has been deregulated. As a resident, you have a choice when selecting a retail electricity provider (your energy company), which gives you insight and command over your energy bill.

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

As many as 60-100 retail electricity providers compete for your business in Venus, and hundreds of plans exist to sort through.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Venus

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Knowing the amount of energy you will use month-to-month is the best way to shop for power in Venus. Why is this important?

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

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much energy you consume in a month.

Unless you use exactly the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you enrolled.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to select your energy provider.

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

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 the summer and winter months and is the ideal way to find your home’s ideal energy rate plan.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you instantly. What could take you hours on a spreadsheet is now solved in seconds.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations 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 all fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your bill.

We then help you sign up with your chosen electricity company without leaving our service.

The takeaway here is you must know your expected or historical usage before selecting the best 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 find the best energy plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Venus: Setting up Electricity

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

By signing up for a plan through Compare Power, you will receive automated reminders when it’s time to renew your existing plan or possibly switch plans.

Switching Electricity Companies in Venus

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so it is important to shop for a lower rate each year when your contract is close to expiring.

Your existing electricity company 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, 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 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 switch, your new energy provider will take care of everything, including terminating service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Venus 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 pick any date within 14 days of your contract expiration without an “early cancellation” fee. 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 understanding your usage is the best way to find the lowest price.

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

Venus Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Venus was founded in 1888 when the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad built through the area, and the town was named after the daughter of a railroad official. The community grew rapidly as a shipping point for cotton and grain, becoming an important agricultural hub in southern Johnson County during the late 19th century.

RECENT

In 2020, Venus completed construction of a new $8.5 million municipal complex that houses city hall, police department, and community meeting spaces. The modern facility replaced aging buildings and was designed to accommodate the city's rapid population growth, which has doubled since 2000 as Dallas-Fort Worth suburbanization reaches the area.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Venus was the childhood home of country music star George Strait's longtime fiddle player, Gene Elders, who performed with the King of Country Music for over three decades. Elders learned to play fiddle in Venus and often credited the small-town musical traditions for shaping his distinctive style that became part of Strait's signature sound.

DID YOU KNOW

Venus is home to one of Texas's most unusual roadside attractions - a 40-foot tall concrete cowboy boot that was built in 1980 as an advertisement for a boot store. The giant boot, visible from Highway 67, has become a beloved landmark and photo opportunity, with many travelers making special detours just to see and photograph the oversized footwear.

CULTURAL

Venus hosts an annual 'Small Town Christmas' celebration that transforms the entire downtown area into a winter wonderland, complete with horse-drawn carriage rides and a living nativity scene. The event draws thousands of visitors from across North Texas and has been featured in several regional magazines as one of the most authentic small-town Christmas experiences in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
