While shopping for electricity, you’ve likely come across the terms utility company and electric company (or provider). Both companies play a part in getting electricity to your home, but they have distinct roles.

The electric utility company for Wichita Falls is Oncor Electric Delivery. Their job is to maintain grid infrastructure (poles, power lines, etc.) and resolve power outages. You cannot choose your utility company because it is assigned by location. If you experience a power outage, you can report it by:

• Calling (888) 313-4747
• Texting OUT to 66267
• Visiting their online outage tracker

Your electric company is who you purchase electricity from. They offer different plans and perks, as well as set rates and handle basic customer service inquiries.

Whether you rent a studio apartment in the Depot Square Historic District or own a home in Tanglewood, you deserve an electricity plan that suits your budget, usage, and lifestyle. REPs across Wichita Falls offer multiple types of electricity plans, including:

Fixed-Rate Plans

Fixed-rate plans offer a stable price per kWh for the length of your contract (up to 60 months). They’re great for residents who value budgeting simplicity.

Variable-Price Plans

Variable-price plans also called month-to-month plans, have prices that change monthly based on market conditions and other factors specified by your REP. They typically don’t have long-term contracts, but their rates are usually higher and unpredictable.

Prepaid/No-Deposit Plans

With, prepaid/no-deposit plans, you load money into your account and use electricity until it runs out. They don’t require deposits or credit checks, but usually have higher rates than fixed-rate electricity plans.

Free Electricity Plans

Free electricity plans are sometimes marketed as time-of-use plans, and waive the energy charge during designated off-peak periods (such as nights or weekends). Standard energy rates apply during all other hours, and you will still pay TDU delivery charges, taxes, and any additional fees. They can be a good, money-saving option if your schedule fits their off-peak hours.

Green Energy Plans

Green energy plans use Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) to match the amount of electricity you use with power generated from renewable sources like wind, solar, hydro, and more. They’re often competitively priced and don’t require you to change your usage habits.

Solar Buyback Plans

Solar buyback plans let you earn bill credits for the excess energy your home solar panels send back to the electric grid. They’re a great way to make the most of your solar investment.

Bill Credit Plans

Bill credit plans, also known as tiered plans, these give you bill credits when you hit a certain usage threshold each month (usually 1,000 or 2,000 kWh). If you don’t use enough energy, however, you’ll likely lose your credit for the month.

There’s no shortage of electricity plans built for Wichita Falls businesses. Companies can choose from similar plan types as residential customers, or opt for electricity plans with tailored rates, rates tied to market indexes, and more. Many REPs also offer businesses extra perks like dedicated account support and specialized usage monitoring tools.

Finding the right electricity company in Wichita Falls doesn’t have to feel like casting spells in the dark. Here’s what to look for when comparing providers:

• Plan Type: Decide if you want the predictability of a fixed-rate plan, a bill/usage credit plan, or a specialty option like prepaid or time-of-use.
• Contract Length: Consider whether you’re comfortable committing to 12, 24, or 36 months, or if you prefer a shorter-term option.
• Home Size & Usage: Your square footage and lifestyle matter—a one-bedroom apartment doesn’t use the same power as a 2,500 sq. ft. house with a pool. Make sure you pick a plan that fits your usage, not just the “average.”
• True Cost Pricing: Watch out for hidden fees, minimum usage charges, or tiered rates that only look cheap on the surface.
• Read the EFL: Never skip the EFL! It outlines your plan’s pricing and contract details so you know exactly what you’re signing up for.
• Renewable Options: If you want to go green, look for providers offering plans backed by Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).
• Customer Service & Reputation: A good provider should be transparent, easy to contact, and reliable.
• Special Perks: From smart thermostats to referral bonuses or solar buyback credits, some providers add extras that can save you money or make your plan more convenient.
