Fort Worth’s regional utility: Oncor

In Fort Worth, you have the power to choose your electricity provider, but not your regional utility (TDU or transmission and distribution utility). Oncor manages and maintains the infrastructure that delivers power to your home, including the repair of power outages.

If you experience an outage, contact Oncor to report the incident and find more information.

• Call: 888-313-4747
• Text: “OUT” to 66267
• Web: https://www.oncor.com/outages/create_outage/identify

On your bill, there are two main charges: energy charge and delivery charge. Energy charge is what you pay your provider for the electricity you consume. Delivery charges go to Oncor.

Current Oncor delivery charges are $4.06/month and 6.0295¢/kWh.

Types of electricity plans in Fort Worth

If you’re searching for a new energy plan in Fort Worth, you’ll discover there are several types of plans to choose from. Here’s what you need to know before you sign up:

• Fixed-rate plans: Your per-unit energy price stays the same for your whole contract term, regardless of market swings. You get predictable bills, but breaking the contract early usually means paying an early termination fee (ETF).
• Variable-rate plans: No contract required — you pay month to month, and the rate can shift each billing cycle. You’re free to cancel anytime without a penalty, but you’re also exposed to price swings in the market.
• Time-of-use plans: Rates change depending on the hour or day of the week, with “free nights” or “free weekends” as the classic hook. In our view, these are mostly marketing tricks — the non-“free” hours are priced steeply enough to make up for it.
• Bill credit plans: These give you a credit if your usage lands in a specific target range. Fall outside that range, and you’ll likely pay more than you would on a standard fixed-rate plan.

We recommend most Texans select a simple fixed-rate plan without bill credits or time-of-use terms.

Our signature plan, Bluebonnet, lets you pick a contract length — 12, 24, or 36 months are the standard options, though we frequently offer additional term lengths beyond those. There are no base charges or minimum usage fees with this plan, and you can choose either 29% or 100% renewable energy content.

The impact of Fort Worth weather on your electricity bills

Fort Worth sits in a humid subtropical climate zone, which means long, sticky summers, cold snaps that can arrive fast in winter, and a spring storm season that’s part of life in North Texas.

Here’s how each season tends to show up on your electricity bill:

• Spring and fall is the sweet spot in Fort Worth for your electricity bill. Highs reach the 70s and 80s with humidity that’s easier to handle than in the summer. Thanks to the mild weather, your AC system gets a bit of a break , meaning your electricity consumption and bills should be lower.
• Summer brings hot weather and high electricity bills to Fort Worth residents. June, July, and August are hot, hot, hot, with high temperatures reaching the 90s and sometimes pushing past 100°F. Add in the humidity, and going outside can feel very intense. You can expect to rely on your air conditioner much more which will drive your bills to the highest of the year.
• Winter in Fort Worth is generally mild, with highs in the 40s and 50s. But the region is not immune to cold fronts that bring ice and sub-freezing temperatures. On these occasions, you’ll need to crank the heat to stay warm which can bring temporary increases to your electricity usage and bills.

Whether it’s over 100°F in August or you’re shivering in a polar vortex in January, fixed-rate electricity plans are your best bet to secure the lowest bills you can.
