If you experience a power outage in Fort Worth, contact Oncor in one of the following ways:

Factors to consider when choosing an electricity plan

Fixed-rate vs. variable-rate options:
Fixed-rate plans lock in your electricity price, leading to more predictable energy bills. Variable-rate plans change based on the wholesale cost of power. While variable-rate plans are riskier, they’re also more flexible because they don’t require a contract or charge early termination fees (ETFs).

Plan length:
Consider your ideal contract length before enrolling in a plan. Fixed-rate plan contracts generally last between 12 and 36 months, while variable-rate plans are month-to-month. Be sure to also check a plan’s Electricity Facts Label for details about cancellation fees in case you need to end your service before the contract expires.

Renewable energy options:
Every Texas energy plan includes some green energy, but some providers specialize in 100% renewable energy plans. Consider options from Gexa Energy or Green Mountain Energy if you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint.

Electricity Facts Label:
Your plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) is an important document that contains information including your electricity rate, contract length, rate type, and details about additional fees or usage credits. Be sure to read the plan’s EFL carefully before signing up.

Monthly usage:
Providers set rates based on how much electricity a household uses per month. Estimating your monthly usage will help you find the plan that best meets your budget and needs.

When is the best time to shop for a Fort Worth energy plan?

Fort Worth electricity rates tend to be highest when power is most in demand. Typically, this occurs in summer and winter, when people require more energy to cool and heat their homes.

How can I lower my electricity bill?

You can save on monthly energy bills by reducing the amount of electricity your household consumes in a billing period. Try adjusting your thermostat, lowering your water heater temperature, and turning off unused appliances. You might also be able to lower your energy bill by switching to another plan with a cheaper rate.
