Whether you want a better rate or a different plan structure, you can switch REPs anytime in Haltom City. However, you may want to consider waiting until the last 14 days of your active contract to do so if you want to avoid paying an Early Termination Fee (ETF). If you’re moving, you won’t have to pay this fee, but always check with your provider.
Many Texans assume the switching process will be a hassle because of all the choices out there, but the truth is that it can be done in just a few minutes with Power Wizard.
Once you’re done, your chosen REP will complete the process behind the scenes.
A unique aspect of deregulation is that electricity service is divided between two companies: your REP and the local electric utility. Your REP is who you buy an electricity plan from. They set each plan’s energy charge (the cents-per-kilowatt-hour rate) and handle basic customer service tasks. Some also offer perks or rewards programs.
The electric utility, often called a Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU), is assigned by location rather than selected by individual households. This is because it owns and maintains parts of the local Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid.
The TDU for Haltom City is Oncor Electric Delivery. If you experience a power outage, report it to them by:
Every TDU, including Oncor, charges delivery fees. These are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and remain the same for all customers in its service area, regardless of REP. Oncor’s current delivery fees include a $4.23 base charge and a $0.06 energy charge.
Haltom City residents renting apartments in the western part of the town usually have very different energy needs than homeowners in communities east of Broadway Avenue. Fortunately, local electricity companies offer several plan types to accommodate different homes and lifestyles. Learn more about them below.
| Plan Type | Best For | Price Stability | Contract Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed-Rate | Long-term residents | High | 3–36 months |
| Variable-Rate | Short-term flexibility | Low | Typically month-to-month |
| Time-of-Use | Night/weekend users | Medium | 6-36 months |
| Bill/Usage Credit | Households with consistent medium to high electricity usage | Medium | 6-36 months |
| Prepaid/No-Deposit | Those with poor or limited credit histories | Medium | Typically month-to-month, but it varies by provider and plan. |
| Renewable Energy | Any household that prioritizes sustainability | High | 6-36 months |
| Solar Buyback | Households with solar panels | Medium | Varies |
Fixed-rate plans are all about consistency. Your energy charge stays stable for the length of your contract. Your total bill will still fluctuate based on how much electricity you use, TDU delivery charges, taxes, and other fees. These plans may have an early termination fee if you cancel your contract early.

Prepaid plans let you pay for electricity in advance, making them a practical option if you want to avoid a credit check or deposit. Instead of receiving a monthly bill, you fund your account upfront and track usage as you go. Many of these plans don’t include long-term contracts or ETFs, but rates are often higher than traditional plans. Your service can be interrupted if funds run low.

Time-of-use plans reward you for using electricity during specific periods, often in the evenings or on weekends, with free or reduced rates. Outside those periods, rates are typically higher. These plans pair well with smart home automation and are ideal for EV charging or off-peak usage habits.

If your home has solar panels, a solar buyback plan lets you earn credits for excess electricity fed back into the grid. These plans help you get more value from your solar system, but credit rates may vary and aren’t always equal to retail prices.

These plans offer a fixed energy rate plus a monthly bill credit when your usage reaches a milestone. If your usage falls within the target range, you can unlock extra savings. It works well for homes with predictable usage, but you won’t get a credit if you miss the usage target.

With a variable-price (or rate) plan, your price per kWh can shift from month to month based on market conditions. These plans are often better suited for short-term needs because they’re less predictable. These plans don’t have long-term contracts or early termination fees (ETFs).
