Who delivers electricity in Wink

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

Quick answers

Wink electricity questions, answered

As of August 2026, plans we offer in the TNMP territory average 16.6¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly use, and today’s lowest effective rate is 8.2¢. Advertised rates move with your usage, so price plans at your own numbers.

TNMP is Wink’s transmission and delivery utility. It owns the wires and meters and restores outages. You choose your retail electricity provider; TNMP delivers no matter who you pick.

Yes — most Wink 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 Wink 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 Wink

#1 rule: Determine what your usage is!

Determining how much energy you consume monthly is the ideal way to find a deal on energy in Wink. Why should you care?

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

Every plan uses a different equation for how your monthly bill is computed, and your monthly bill will change according to how much power you use each month.

Unless you use precisely the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than the one you saw advertised when you ordered.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to select your energy rate.

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

Better still, 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 absolute best way to determine the perfect energy rate plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you instantly. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now done 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 assisting you step-by-step with the electricity rate plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.

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

We then assist you in signing up with your selected energy provider without leaving our service.

The bottom line is you must know your expected or historical usage before selecting 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.

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 electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Wink: Setting up Electricity

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

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 Wink

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

Your existing energy company will normally 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 cover everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Wink 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 within 14 days of your contract expiration without an “early termination” 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 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 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 cheapest rate.

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.

Wink Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Wink was founded in 1926 during the West Texas oil boom when the Hendricks Oil Company struck black gold in the area. The town was named after the Wink Oil Field, which was itself named after a local rancher's daughter, and quickly grew from empty desert to a bustling oil town of over 3,000 residents virtually overnight.

RECENT

In 2020, Wink made national headlines when it faced potential disincorporation due to financial difficulties stemming from declining oil revenues and aging infrastructure. The city successfully fought to maintain its municipal status through state assistance and community fundraising efforts, demonstrating the resilience of this small West Texas community.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Rock and roll legend Roy Orbison was born in Vernon, Texas, but spent his formative years in Wink, where he attended high school and formed his first band, The Wink Westerners. The city honors its most famous son with Roy Orbison Drive and an annual festival celebrating his musical legacy and connection to this tiny oil town.

DID YOU KNOW

Wink holds the unusual distinction of being one of the few incorporated cities in America where the high school football stadium is larger than the entire downtown business district. The Wildcats' stadium can seat nearly half the town's population, reflecting the legendary importance of Friday night football in small-town Texas culture.

CULTURAL

Despite having fewer than 1,000 residents, Wink maintains one of the most elaborate Christmas light displays in West Texas, with virtually every home and business participating in the annual 'Wink Winter Wonderland.' The tradition began in the 1980s as a way to boost community morale during oil industry downturns and has become a regional attraction drawing visitors from across the Permian Basin.
