Fort Worth electric companies

Being a resident of Fort Worth gives you the ability to research what plan works best for you or your business. While ChooseTexasPower.org works with a large group of energy companies, some of the most common names you will see are TXU Energy, 4Change, Frontier Utilities, and Direct Energy.

A deregulated energy market gives you the power to choose the provider, but it does not mean you can change your utility company. In other words, you can choose the source of your electricity, the rate, and the type, but you cannot choose the company that delivers the electricity. In Fort Worth, the utility company is Oncor.

If you are experiencing a power outage, please contact Oncor at 1-888-313-4747.
