Are there renewable energy plans in Fort Worth?

Yes — several Fort Worth providers offer plans with partial or full renewable energy content through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). These RECs match your usage with wind and solar generation on the ERCOT grid. No equipment changes are needed. Oncor Electric Delivery delivers the power identically regardless of whether your plan includes renewable content. Check each plan’s EFL for the exact renewable percentage.

How much are electricity delivery charges in Fort Worth?

Oncor Electric Delivery’s delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and identical for all Fort Worth customers, regardless of supplier. These fees cover transmission, distribution infrastructure, and grid maintenance. When comparing Fort Worth electricity plans, the rates shown at 1,000 kWh typically include delivery fees. Review each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for the full breakdown of supply versus delivery costs.

Should I choose a fixed or variable rate plan in Fort Worth?

Fixed-rate plans lock your supply rate for a set term (typically 3–36 months), protecting you from seasonal price spikes on the ERCOT grid. Variable-rate plans can change monthly based on wholesale electricity costs. In Fort Worth, fixed plans currently start at 6.7¢/kWh. Most energy advisors recommend fixed rates for budget predictability, especially heading into summer when Texas wholesale prices historically spike.
