How it works

Tarrant County

Electricity choice in Fort Worth

Fort Worth is Oncor territory with city water and 311-based solid waste. Everman, Forest Hill and White Settlement run their own services inside some Fort Worth ZIPs.

Delivery utility

Oncor

Fort Worth is in the Texas competitive retail market (ERCOT, North load zone). Oncor owns the poles and wires, reads meters and restores outages. You pick a Retail Electric Provider for the plan and the bill. Switching providers does not change who fixes the lines.

Check your bill

Most Fort Worth addresses are on Oncor. Confirm the utility name on a recent bill or with WattKarma's ZIP lookup before you enroll.

At home

Fort Worth renters and owners pick a Retail Electric Provider while Oncor keeps delivering the power. Compare price at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh on the Electricity Facts Label, watch for bill credits that only pay at one usage level, and set the new plan to start on move-in day. Water, trash and gas are not part of the switch.
