Wichita Falls Electricity Rates and Companies

Our recommended Wichita Falls energy plans

The best electricity plans in Wichita Falls for most residents are usually fixed-rate plans, which keep your energy rate stable throughout your contract. Many popular plans also include bill credits that can significantly lower your effective electricity rate when your monthly usage falls within the plan’s intended range. Understanding your typical electricity usage can help you identify plans that offer the strongest savings opportunities.

Below are a few popular, well-trusted Wichita Falls electricity plans to consider:

Best overall: Rhythm Max Saver 12

Rhythm Max Saver 12 is a strong option for many Wichita Falls residents. The plan offers a $125 bill credit each month when usage reaches 1,000 kWh or more, creating an opportunity for significant savings. For households that regularly use around 1,000 kWh or more, the credit can help lower overall electricity costs and deliver a competitive effective rate. Rhythm’s renewable energy offerings and customer-friendly experience further enhance the plan’s appeal for many shoppers.

Best for high usage: Frontier Saver Deluxe 12

Frontier Saver Deluxe 12 may be a good fit for higher-usage households. The plan offers a $100 usage credit when you use at least 1,500 kWh in a billing cycle. While some high-usage plans require 2,000 kWh or more to earn the bill credit, many higher-usage residents do not consistently meet that threshold every month. A 1,500 kWh requirement may provide a more realistic opportunity to qualify for savings.

Best for low usage: APG&E Simple Choice 12

APG&E Simple Choice 12 is a solid choice for customers with lower or less predictable electricity usage. Many low-usage residents see the most month-to-month variation in their electricity use, which can make bill-credit plans risky. Because this plan does not rely on usage minimums or bill credits, your bill is less likely to jump simply because you missed a specific usage threshold.

The best electricity plan for you will depend on your preferred contract length, typical monthly kWh usage and whether you can consistently qualify for any bill credits. We recommend using our rate finder tool to compare plans and match with the best option for your home.

Your power to choose electricity in Wichita Falls

As a result, residents and business owners now have the power to choose their own electricity providers rather than being required to buy energy from their local utility companies.

Oncor Electric Delivery: Wichita Falls’ utility company

While you can choose your electricity provider in a deregulated market, your utility company is determined by your address and cannot be changed. Utilities deliver electricity, maintain power lines, and restore electricity during power outages. The utility company for Wichita Falls is Oncor Electric Delivery. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact Oncor:

• Report an outage online.

All utility companies charge a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) charge for delivering electricity. This charge includes a base monthly charge and a usage charge per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Oncor Electric Delivery charges $4.23/month and 5.6183 ¢/kWh.

Types of Wichita Falls electric plans

The Choose Texas Power marketplace offers several different types of plans depending on where you live. Here’s a rundown of the most common kinds of electric plans in Wichita Falls.

• Fixed-rate plans: Under a fixed-rate agreement, your electricity rate stays the same for the entirety of your contract (usually 12 to 36 months). A fixed rate protects you from price hikes in the energy market, but you’ll usually face an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel or switch providers while still under contract. Fixed-rate plans are ideal for homeowners in search of a long-term, predictable rate.
• Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans are more flexible with no contract involved, allowing you to cancel or change providers at any time. However, your rate fluctuates depending on the wholesale price of energy, so costs can spike when demand increases. This could be the right type of plan for you if you’re a short-term renter looking for flexibility.
• No-deposit plans: Many providers run a credit check, and depending on your score, you may need to pay a deposit before beginning service. However, you can avoid this initial cost by signing up for a no-deposit plan, such as a prepaid plan. These plans allow you to pay for your electricity upfront and reload your account as needed. This could be the right option if you want to steer clear of high upfront costs.
• Time-of-use plans: A time-of-use (TOU) plan features rates that fluctuate with electricity demand. During low-demand periods, such as late at night, you can enjoy a lower rate. However, your rate may increase during peak hours, like mornings and afternoons. You could experience savings with a TOU plan if you are comfortable shifting your usage to take advantage of lower rates during off-peak hours.
• Solar buyback plans: If your home is powered by solar energy, these plans let you sell excess energy from your solar panels back to the grid. In exchange, your provider will give you a credit on your electricity bill.

Thanks to deregulation, business owners can also shop for affordable electricity in Wichita Falls. Both large organizations and small storefronts can benefit from competitive rates that can help reduce operating costs.

Green energy plans

Because Texas is a leader in renewable energy (producing the most wind energy and the second-most solar power in the nation), all electricity plans in Wichita Falls contain some energy from green sources. To check a plan’s renewable content percentage, read its Electricity Facts Label (EFL). You can find the EFL on Choose Texas Power by clicking “more details” on a selected plan and navigating to “plan documents.”

If you’d like to further reduce your environmental impact, search for green energy rates from providers that exclusively sell 100% green plans, including Gexa Energy, Rhythm Energy, Octopus Energy, and Green Mountain Energy. You can also enter your ZIP code and select the green energy filter to shop.
