Thanks to energy deregulation in Texas, you can choose your own electricity provider in Fort Worth. The provider you choose will supply the electricity that powers your home. Fort Worth residents have many electric companies to choose from, with rates starting at just 6.7 cents per kWh. Some of the top providers in Fort Worth include TXU Energy, 4Change Energy, and Direct Energy.

While you can choose your own energy provider, you can’t choose your utility company. Your utility company is determined by where you live. In Fort Worth, the utility is Oncor Electric Delivery.

Types of electricity plans in Fort Worth

When you sign up for your Fort Worth electricity plan, not only will you get to choose your provider, but you can also choose from several types of plans. Here are some of the popular types of electricity plans that you may find on the Choose Energy marketplace:

• Fixed-rate plan: A fixed-rate energy plan allows you to enter into a contract with your electric company and lock in your rate for a period of 12+ months. With this type of plan, you aren’t vulnerable to spikes in electricity prices, but also won’t experience savings on your bill when electricity prices are low. Fixed-rate plans are ideal for consumers who want stability and predictability in their energy bills.
• Variable-rate plan: A variable-rate electricity plan doesn’t have a locked-in rate. Instead, your rate may fluctuate each month based on the wholesale energy market. You’ll experience price spikes during times of high energy demand, but savings when demand is low. You also aren’t locked into a contract with your provider.
• No-deposit energy plan: Depending on your credit score, you may be required to pay a deposit when you sign up for your energy plan. Luckily, some providers offer no-deposit energy plans where you don’t have to pay a deposit or go through a credit check. A prepaid energy plan is a type of no-deposit plan that allows you to pay for your electricity upfront.
