Fort Worth Electric Plans: Oncor Wires, Your Retail Provider, Your Rate
Fort Worth shares Oncor's delivery territory with Dallas, but the retail plan mix and typical usage profiles are different enough that a Dallas-optimized plan often isn't a Fort Worth-optimized plan. Here's how to shop the Fort Worth side of the Metroplex.

About Energy Choice in Fort Worth
Fort Worth sits inside Oncor's service area, which means residents here shop the same pool of certified retail electric providers as Dallas — but that doesn't mean the same plan wins in both cities. Fort Worth homes skew larger and more single-family than Dallas's condo and townhome-heavy urban core, so bill-credit plans tuned to 1,500–2,500 kWh months tend to win in Tarrant County more often than in downtown Dallas.
Because Fort Worth is in ERCOT and Oncor territory, the mechanics of switching are simple: pick a retail provider, sign a contract, and your new rate takes effect on the next Oncor meter read (typically within 1–2 billing cycles). No new meter, no home visit, no service interruption — Oncor handles the whole switchover behind the scenes.
One Fort Worth-specific note: some far-west and far-north Metroplex ZIPs technically fall inside cooperative or municipally owned utility territories rather than Oncor's, especially near Weatherford, Aledo, and Denton County co-op pockets. If your ZIP won't return plans on a comparison tool, that's usually why — those homes are not deregulated and can't shop retail providers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Fort Worth deregulated for electricity?
Yes, most Fort Worth addresses are inside Oncor Electric Delivery's territory and inside ERCOT, which means residents can shop competitive retail electric providers. A handful of outlying ZIPs served by co-ops or municipal utilities are not deregulated.
Do Fort Worth and Dallas share the same electric utility?
Yes. Oncor Electric Delivery is the wires company for both cities and most of the DFW Metroplex. Retail providers file offers by service territory, so the same providers are available in both — but individual plan prices can differ.
How long does switching providers take in Fort Worth?
Switches in Oncor territory typically take effect on your next scheduled meter read, usually within 1–2 billing cycles. There's no service interruption and no equipment change at your home.
What if I live just outside Fort Worth in a co-op area?
Homes served by cooperatives such as United Cooperative Services or Tri-County Electric Cooperative, and some municipal utilities in the Metroplex fringe, are not part of the competitive market and cannot switch retail providers.
Who handles Fort Worth power outages?
Oncor Electric Delivery handles all outage response in Fort Worth's deregulated ZIPs. Report outages at 888-313-4747 or via the Oncor app.
