Oncor is the largest electricity delivery utility in Texas. It's a regulated, investor-owned wires company: it doesn't sell electricity to homes, and it doesn't compete with anyone. Every retail provider in its area delivers over the same Oncor lines.
Where its lines run: Dallas, Fort Worth and most of the suburbs around them, plus a wide stretch of North, Central and West Texas: Waco, Killeen and Temple, Tyler, Midland and Odessa, Wichita Falls, Sherman and dozens of smaller towns.
Price every plan in Oncor's area on your own 12 months
The tables below use three typical homes. Drop in a bill from an address on Oncor’s lines, or type your 12 monthly kWh, and we’ll rank every plan sold there by what you’d actually pay, delivery included.
Every home on Oncor’s lines pays the same delivery charge, whichever retail provider sells the electricity: $4.06 a month plus 6.8673¢ per kWh, effective September 1, 2026. It pays for the poles, wires, meters and the crews that restore power. No provider can discount it, and every price on this site includes it.
| In a month you use | Delivery charge | Per kWh, all told |
|---|---|---|
| 500 kWh | $38.40 | 7.7¢ |
| 1,000 kWh | $72.73 | 7.3¢ |
| 2,000 kWh | $141.41 | 7.1¢ |
The monthly charge is why small homes pay more per kWh: spread over 500 kWh it adds 0.8¢ to every one, over 2,000 kWh only 0.2¢.
On your bill the charge appears as a line of its own, or folded into the energy price on plans that quote one all-in number. On every Electricity Facts Label, the three average prices at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh already include it, which is why a plan’s advertised price is higher than its energy charge. The charges change: at least twice a year, usually around March 1 and September 1, when the Public Utility Commission approves its updated rates, with interim changes in other months. A change passes through to every plan at once, fixed-rate ones included; only the energy charge is fixed.
Small businesses pay a different charge. Oncor bills its smallest business class, accounts of 10 kW or less with no demand charge, $6.70 a month plus 5.3843¢ per kWh. We price 21 plans from 4 providers there, on the small-business rates page.
Every plan sold on Oncor’s lines, priced month by month on a year with a real summer peak, for a small, a typical and a large home, with the delivery charge above included.
About 500 kWh a month: a one- or two-bedroom apartment, or a small house with gas heat. 6,001 kWh over the year, with a Dallas–Fort Worth summer peak.
| Plan | Term | Advertised at 500 kWh | Real price | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 No Bull 12 Energy Texas | 12 mo | 12.0¢ | 12.0¢ | $717 lowest |
 Digital Choice 12 Rhythm | 12 mo | 12.0¢ | 12.0¢ | $717 +$0 |
 Octo Simple 12 Octopus Energy | 12 mo | 12.0¢ | 12.0¢ | $720 +$2 |
The cheapest-looking plan loses here. SimpleSaver 12 advertises 6.9¢ at 1,000 kWh, the lowest of any plan, but this home would pay 19.8¢ per kWh on it: $471 more over the year than No Bull 12. It ranks #315 of 388.
Contracts under a year are ranked apart. Plans of 12 months or longer are ranked above, because they hold their price for the whole year. The cheapest shorter contract, Companion Pro + Perks 3 (3 months), would cost about $633 if its price held for 12 months, which it doesn’t promise to: $84 less than No Bull 12, and then a new price at the 3-month mark.
About 1,000 kWh a month, the level every plan advertises its price at. 12,000 kWh over the year, with a Dallas–Fort Worth summer peak.

The cheapest-looking plan loses here. SimpleSaver 12 advertises 6.9¢ at 1,000 kWh, the lowest of any plan, but this home would pay 15.2¢ per kWh on it: $383 more over the year than True Value 12. It ranks #149 of 388.
Contracts under a year are ranked apart. Plans of 12 months or longer are ranked above, because they hold their price for the whole year.

About 2,000 kWh a month: a big house, a pool pump, or electric heat. 23,999 kWh over the year, with a Dallas–Fort Worth summer peak.

Estimates, as of November 2026. We simulate 12 monthly bills for each of the 483 plans we track from 47 providers, using each plan’s Electricity Facts Label and Oncor’s published delivery charges, on the three usage profiles above. Taxes and fees that aren’t on the EFL are left out, so real bills run a little higher for every plan alike. Listed but not ranked: 35 time-of-use plans ("free nights" and the like), priced by the time of day or week, which a monthly bill doesn't show; and 30 variable-rate plans, with a price that can change every month, so a year ahead can't be priced from today's rate. They’re on Plans we track with their labels. Prices change; check the EFL before enrolling.
The same plans and the same delivery charge apply at every address in Dallas–Fort Worth. Each city page prices them for that city.
47 providers, 483 fixed-rate plans we can price. The ones with the most plans here:
Every home on Oncor's lines pays the same delivery charge, whichever retail provider sells the electricity: $4.06 a month plus 6.8673¢ per kWh, as of September 1, 2026. That's about $38.40 in a 500 kWh month, $72.73 at 1,000 kWh and $141.41 at 2,000 kWh. The charge covers the poles, wires, meters and outage crews. Every price on WattaWatt includes it.
For a typical home using about 1,000 kWh a month, the cheapest plan that holds its price all year, as of November 2026, is True Value 12 from True Power: about $1,445 for the year, 12.0¢ per kWh with Oncor's delivery charges included, the lowest of 388 plans of 12 months or more. The order changes with how much you use and when, so price the plans on your own 12 months before choosing.
No. The delivery utility comes with the address: Oncor owns the lines where you live, and no retail provider can route around them. What you choose is the retail provider, the company that buys the electricity and sets the price for it. In Oncor's area that's 47 providers selling 483 fixed-rate plans we can price.
Oncor, not your retail provider. The provider sells you the electricity but has no trucks; Oncor owns the wires and sends the crews. Its outage number is printed on every bill and on its website, oncor.com. Report the outage there even if you have never dealt with Oncor directly.
Dallas, Fort Worth and most of the suburbs around them, plus a wide stretch of North, Central and West Texas: Waco, Killeen and Temple, Tyler, Midland and Odessa, Wichita Falls, Sherman and dozens of smaller towns. We price the plans sold in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Frisco, McKinney, Grand Prairie, Carrollton, Richardson, Mesquite, Allen, Flower Mound, Mansfield, Rockwall, Midland, Odessa, Round Rock, Waco and Tyler; the same plans and delivery charge apply at every address on Oncor's lines. Utility borders don't follow city limits, so a neighboring town, or a few streets, can be on another utility's lines or on a co-op with no retail choice. Your bill names the delivery utility.
At least twice a year, usually around March 1 and September 1, when the Public Utility Commission approves its updated rates, with interim changes in other months. The current charge, $4.06 a month plus 6.8673¢ per kWh, took effect on September 1, 2026. A change applies to every plan at once, including fixed-rate plans already under contract: the energy charge is what's fixed, and the delivery charge passes through. We update every price on this site when it changes.
