Living in Fort Worth means you get more than just great BBQ and rodeos—you also get the power to choose your electricity provider.

When those Fort Worth summers hit triple digits, having control over your electricity plan matters more than ever. Luckily, deregulation in Texas means you can shop for a provider that fits your home’s needs. Just enter your ZIP code into Power Wizard’s tool to instantly compare plans, rates, and providers.

Whether you live in a historic home in Fairmount, a newer build in Walsh Ranch, or anywhere in between, you’ve got options when it comes to who supplies your electricity plan, but not who delivers it. In Fort Worth, Oncor Electric Delivery is the utility company responsible for delivering power to your home. They maintain the electrical infrastructure, handle outages, and make sure electricity flows safely and reliably across the city.

Your electricity provider, on the other hand, is the company you choose to supply your plan and rate. While you can switch providers based on pricing, features, or customer service, Oncor stays the same regardless of which provider you pick. Their charges (listed as TDSP or TDU) are listed separately on your bill, so don’t let their fees surprise you.

The current TDU fees for Oncor are $0.0612 for the energy charge per kWh and $4.06 for the monthly base charge.

With hot summers, cold snaps, and everything in between, Fort Worth households need electricity plans that match their energy usage patterns. From flexible-rate plans to long-term fixed rates, there are plenty of options available. We’ve gathered a list of local providers and their current plans to help you get started.

• Fixed-Rate Plans – Lock in the same rate for the length of your contract. A solid option for predictable bills and protection from seasonal price swings. This is the simplest plan and usually the most recommended for Texas households.

• Time-of-Use Plans – Electricity rates vary by time of day. Plans advertising ‘free nights’ or ‘free weekends’ typically charge higher daytime or peak-hour rates to offset the promotional periods. These plans work best for households that can consistently shift high usage to off-peak hours or overnight EV charging.

• Bill/Usage Credit Electricity Plans – Earn a bill credit when your electricity usage reaches or exceeds the plan’s required threshold, typically 1,000 or 2,000 kWh.

• No-Deposit & Prepaid Electricity Plans – Pay ahead for electricity usage instead of paying a deposit. This is a strong option for customers with limited or no credit history. You add funds to your account in advance, and your balance decreases as electricity is used. Electricity rates are usually higher than those of other plans, and your service can be disconnected if your balance falls too low.

• Renewable / Green Energy Plans – Backed by Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), these plans support wind, solar, and other renewable energy projects.

• Solar Buyback Plans – Designed for homes with solar panels, these plans provide bill credits for excess electricity sent back to the grid.

• Variable-rate Plans – Best suited for short periods. Rates move with market conditions, which provide flexibility but also risk of higher bills during peak demand. We almost never recommend this plan, but it can help in certain situations.

With so many electricity plans available in Fort Worth, it’s important to look beyond the advertised rate. Here are a few key things to consider before choosing a provider.

• Don’t Focus on Price Alone – Some low-rate plans only work well at certain usage levels. Always review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) before enrolling.
• Compare Contract Terms – Short-term plans offer flexibility, while longer contracts can provide more stable pricing. Be sure to check for early termination fees (ETFs).
• Check Customer Service Quality – Reliable billing and responsive customer support can make a big difference over the life of your contract.
• Understand the Plan Type – Bill credit, time-of-use, and tiered-rate plans can help you save, but only if they match your household’s usage patterns.
• Consider Renewable Energy Options – Many Fort Worth providers offer renewable energy plans backed by wind and solar power.
• Read the Fine Print – Watch for base charges, usage requirements, and other fees that can affect your total bill.
• Use Variable-Rate Plans Carefully – These plans can change monthly based on market conditions and may lead to higher bills during peak demand.
• Choose a Plan That Fits Your Usage – Some plans are designed for higher or lower usage households, so matching your usage matters.

With Power Wizard, you’ll get a clear view of your options and none of the fine-print surprises. Whether you’re switching providers, looking to save, or signing up for the first time, we’ll help you find a plan that works for you and your home.
