As a Fort Worth resident, you’re free to pick your energy provider. These companies are responsible for selling electricity plans, monitoring your energy usage, and handling billing.

There are many different Fort Worth electricity providers to consider, including top companies like 4Change Energy, Express Energy, and TXU Energy. These providers have some of the cheapest rates in Fort Worth and offer a variety of plan features, including green energy options and bill credits for consuming a certain amount of energy per month.

No matter which electric company you choose, your power will be delivered by your local utility company. Unlike energy providers, you don’t select your utility; instead, it’s determined by your address. Utilities are responsible for transmitting electricity, dealing with electrical outages, and maintaining power lines and other infrastructure. In Fort Worth, the utility is Oncor Electric Delivery.

Power outages in Fort Worth

If your power goes out in Fort Worth, you should notify your utility company, not your electricity provider. There are a few ways to contact Oncor:

• Call 1-888-313-4747
• Visit the online outage center
• Text OUT to 66267

You’ll find a variety of Fort Worth electricity plans on Choose Energy’s marketplace. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types:

• Fixed-rate plans: Fixed-rate plans have a stable energy rate that won’t change as long as your plan is active. These plans come with long-term contracts, which usually range from 12 to 36 months. In addition, your rate won’t increase — even if there are price hikes in the market. However, if you want to cancel or switch plans before your contract expires, you’ll likely need to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
• Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans don’t come with guaranteed electricity rates, contracts, or ETFs. Instead, your rate is tied to the wholesale cost of energy, and it can rise or fall depending on market prices. In months when demand is lower, you could benefit from a cheaper rate. But when demand spikes, your rate could increase as well.
• Prepaid and no-deposit plans: Many electric companies in Fort Worth run credit checks as part of the sign-up process. If your score falls below the provider’s standards, you may need to pay a security deposit before beginning service. If you’d like to avoid this process, consider signing up for a no-deposit plan, such as a prepaid plan. With a prepaid plan, you’ll pay for your electricity consumption in advance and top up your account when it runs low.
