Electricity Rates and Usage in Fort Worth
Electricity service in Fort Worth is part of Texas’ deregulated market, which means you can choose your retail electric provider (REP) and the plan that fits your home.
Homes in Fort Worth often see higher electricity usage during long, hot summers when air conditioning runs more frequently. Larger homes, older insulation, and high-energy features like pools or multiple refrigerators can also increase overall usage. That’s why it’s important to look beyond a single rate and choose a plan that aligns with your day-to-day energy habits.

Electricity Plans in Fort Worth, TX
Gexa Energy offers a range of electricity plans in Fort Worth designed to fit different homes, usage patterns, and preferences. Each plan type works a little differently, so the right choice depends on how you use energy throughout the day and the amount of predictability you want in your monthly energy charges.
Fixed-Rate Electricity Plans
A fixed-rate plan keeps your energy charge3 consistent throughout your contract term, which can make it easier to plan and manage your monthly energy charges. This type of plan is a common choice for homeowners who want stability and a predictable structure over time.
Usage or Bill Credit Electricity Plans
Usage credit plans apply a bill credit when your monthly electricity usage meets a set threshold, like 1,000 kWh (varies by plan). This structure can work well for households with consistent energy use, where reaching that threshold is more likely. Before enrolling in one of these plans, it’s important to review how the credit is applied and what usage level is required so you can understand how it may affect your monthly energy charges.
Free Electricity Plans4
Free electricity plans are a type of time-of-use plan that includes specific periods when electricity usage is not billed at the standard energy charge, often during nights or weekends. These plans can be a good fit if you can shift more of your energy use into those time windows. Keep in mind that energy charges outside of the promotional period are typically higher, and you may still be responsible for paying additional fees during free usage periods.
Smart Thermostat and Incentive Plans5
Select Gexa Energy electricity plans include smart thermostats and energy optimization features that help you manage comfort and energy usage more efficiently. With access to the Gexa Energy mobile app and Gexa MyAccount, you can adjust settings, monitor usage, and stay connected to your home’s energy activity throughout the day. These plans are designed for homeowners who want more visibility and control over how energy is used, especially during high-demand periods.
Solar Energy Plans6
If your home has solar panels, solar buyback plans allow you to receive credit for the eligible excess energy your system produces and sends back to the grid. This can help balance out your overall energy charges over time while making the most of your solar investment.
EV Charging Plans
Electric vehicle (EV) charging plans are designed to support how and when you charge at home. These plans encourage charging during lower-demand hours7, which can help you better manage your overall energy charges if you regularly charge overnight.
Variable-Price Plans
A variable-price plan has an energy charge that can change month to month based on current energy market conditions. This type of plan can offer flexibility if you are not looking for a long-term contract, though monthly energy charges may be less predictable.
Flat Rate Plans
Flat rate plans are designed to keep your monthly energy charges more consistent, even if your usage changes from month to month. Instead of your total cost rising or falling directly with how much electricity you use, this structure aims to smooth out those fluctuations to create a more predictable monthly amount. This type of plan can be helpful for households that want a steadier billing experience, especially if usage tends to vary throughout the year. Review the EFL carefully, because flat-rate plans may include usage limits or different charges if your usage falls outside the plan’s defined range.
Understanding Electricity in Fort Worth
Before choosing a plan, it helps to understand how Fort Worth electricity rates and service work. Your energy charges are made up of the electricity you use, the plan you select, and the cost to deliver that electricity to your home. Here’s a closer look:
Who Supplies and Delivers Electricity?
In Fort Worth, you choose a retail electricity provider (REP), like Gexa Energy, to supply your electricity and manage your plan. The Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU), Oncor Electric Delivery, is responsible for delivering electricity to your home, maintaining power lines, and responding to outages.
Your provider handles billing, plan options, and customer support, while the TDU manages the infrastructure that keeps electricity flowing. TDU delivery charges are included in your total electricity charges but appear as a separate line item on your account. These charges are set by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and are passed through to you without markup.
What Affects Your Electricity Bill in Fort Worth?
Several everyday factors influence Fort Worth electricity rates, and most of them come down to how your home uses energy. Air conditioning is one of the biggest drivers, especially during long, hot summers when systems run more often and for longer periods. Homes with larger square footage or older insulation may also use more electricity to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Your daily routines play a role as well. Households with more occupants, frequent appliance use, or features like pools, home offices, or multiple refrigerators tend to have higher overall usage. Seasonal changes can also shift your energy needs, particularly if your home relies on electricity for heating during colder months instead of natural gas.
The structure of your plan matters, too. A fixed-rate plan offers a consistent energy charge, while a variable-price plan can change month to month. In addition to usage and plan type, TDU delivery charges make up a portion of your total electricity bill.
How to Choose the Right Electricity Plan in Allen
Choosing the right plan comes down to how your home uses electricity and what kind of predictability you want in your energy charges. A plan that works well for one household may not fit another, so it helps to focus on your own usage patterns and priorities as you compare options.
Start With Your Home and Usage
Think about how your home uses energy day to day. Larger homes in Fort Worth often require more cooling during the summer, while smaller homes or apartments may use less overall electricity. The number of people in your household, how often you run appliances, and features like pools or electric vehicle charging can all increase usage.
Understanding these factors can help you narrow down which plan structures are more likely to align with your needs.
Compare Plan Features, Not Just Price
It’s crucial to look beyond the advertised rate and compare how each plan actually works. Contract length, flexibility, and features like usage credits can all impact your monthly energy charges.
Review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for each plan, so you know what’s included and how pricing is structured. This helps you make a more informed decision based on how you expect to use electricity, not just the rate shown upfront.
