Showing the 20 cheapest Waxahachie electricity plans based on 1,000 kWh usage.
Waxahachie homes span two very different worlds: lovingly restored Victorians in the historic district with high ceilings and original windows, and brand-new master-planned construction south of town with modern insulation and efficient HVAC. The average Waxahachie home uses about 1,000–1,200 kWh per month, though many historic homes push past 1,400 kWh in summer. Below are the best Waxahachie plans at four common usage levels, updated daily.
Waxahachie regularly hits 100°F+ from June through September, and your home’s age makes a dramatic difference. A historic Victorian with original single-pane windows, 12-foot ceilings, and minimal wall insulation can easily consume 2,000–2,500 kWh in peak summer — double or more what a modern, well-sealed new-build uses. If you own a Victorian, always compare plans at 2,000 kWh, not just the standard 1,000 kWh benchmark. Newer homes in communities like Waxahachie’s master-planned developments benefit from modern insulation and efficient HVAC, but their larger square footage still pushes summer usage well above spring levels.
We’ve compared rates and plans from 39 retail electricity providers (REPs) serving Waxahachie’s Oncor Electric Delivery territory in Ellis County. Every provider listed below is licensed by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and offers plans you can sign up for today. Your REP handles billing and customer service; Oncor delivers the power regardless of which provider you choose, so switching never affects reliability.
Waxahachie’s economy is a distinctive blend of heritage and growth. The historic downtown square is home to boutique retailers, restaurants, and professional offices housed in century-old buildings, while the Scarborough Renaissance Festival draws over 200,000 visitors each spring and drives seasonal demand for hospitality and food-service power. Along the I-35E corridor, new distribution centers, warehousing operations, and light-industrial facilities are expanding rapidly as Waxahachie transforms into a logistics hub serving the southern DFW Metroplex. The city’s photogenic Victorian streetscapes also attract film productions, bringing temporary but energy-intensive lighting and equipment loads.
Unlike Waxahachie residential plans with standardized pricing tiers, commercial electricity rates are custom-quoted based on your business’s usage profile, demand patterns, and contract terms. A downtown storefront pulling 2,000 kWh/month has a very different rate structure than a 50,000-square-foot warehouse on the interstate.

Whether you’re moving to Waxahachie or switching from an existing provider, the process takes about five minutes and happens entirely online. Your new retail provider handles the coordination with Oncor Electric Delivery — you don’t need to call anyone else, and there’s zero interruption to your power.
Enter your ZIP code to verify your address is in Oncor’s deregulated territory. All of Waxahachie and surrounding Ellis County communities — Midlothian, Ennis, Red Oak, Italy — qualify. If you’re switching from an existing plan, check your contract end date and early-termination fee. Most ETFs are $50–$200, and you can switch penalty-free during the final 14 days of your contract.
Shop rates from Waxahachie’s 39 providers. Compare at your actual usage level: apartments around 500 kWh, average homes 1,000–1,200 kWh, and larger or historic homes 1,500–2,000+ kWh. If you’re on an old plan or have rolled onto a variable rate, switching could save $30–$65 per month. The I-35E corridor means you have the same provider access as Dallas residents — no limited selection for being south of the Metroplex.
Enroll online or by phone. You’ll need your service address, preferred start date, and a government ID. Your new provider files a switch request with ERCOT and Oncor, and service transfers on your next meter-read date — typically 1–3 business days. No one visits your home and the lights stay on the entire time.
Schedule your electricity at least 5 business days before your move-in date. If you’re purchasing one of Waxahachie’s historic Victorian homes, expect a very different energy profile than a new-construction build — older homes with original windows and minimal insulation can use 30–50% more electricity, especially in summer. If you’re buying new construction in one of the master-planned communities, you’ll benefit from modern insulation and efficient HVAC, but the larger floor plans still mean meaningful cooling costs. Either way, compare plans at your expected usage level — not just the 1,000 kWh default.
Got questions about electricity in the Gingerbread City? Our Waxahachie-focused FAQs cover rates, plans, providers, Oncor delivery, and everything you need to know about powering a home in Ellis County.
Waxahachie sits in Texas’s deregulated electricity market, which means you choose your own retail electric provider (REP) rather than being locked into a single utility. Oncor Electric Delivery owns the power lines, poles, transformers, and smart meters throughout Ellis County, but your REP handles your bill and customer service. Dozens of licensed providers compete for your business with different rates, contract lengths, and plan features — from fixed-rate plans to 100% renewable options. The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) oversees the market and licenses every REP listed on this page, so each one is a regulated, legitimate option. Switching providers never affects power delivery because Oncor handles the physical infrastructure regardless of your REP.
The cheapest Waxahachie electricity rate is 7.5¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh usage, offered by Chariot Energy (GridPlus 12 - 7.50¢). The average rate across all 200 available plans is 13.47¢/kWh. Rates are updated multiple times daily as providers adjust pricing. Because Waxahachie is served by Oncor — the largest TDU in Texas — residents have access to the same broad selection of competitive plans available throughout the DFW Metroplex. Keep in mind that the cheapest rate at 1,000 kWh may not be cheapest at 500 or 2,000 kWh, so always compare at your actual usage level.
At the current average rate of 13.47¢/kWh, a Waxahachie home using 1,000 kWh/month would pay about $135/month. However, actual bills vary widely depending on your home type. Owners of Waxahachie’s signature Victorian homes — with their soaring ceilings, original single-pane windows, and older insulation — often average 1,200–1,400 kWh per month and can see summer bills reach $250–$350. New-construction homes in master-planned communities benefit from modern building codes and efficient HVAC, but their larger floor plans (often 2,200–3,500 sq ft) still produce meaningful cooling costs during North Texas summers. A careful plan comparison at your expected usage level is the best way to control your monthly bill.
Oncor Electric Delivery is the transmission and distribution utility (TDU) that serves Waxahachie and the broader DFW Metroplex. Oncor owns and maintains the power lines, poles, transformers, and smart meters throughout Ellis County. Their delivery charges — which cover the cost of physically moving electricity from the grid to your home — appear as a line item on every Waxahachie electricity bill, regardless of which retail provider you choose. You cannot shop for a different TDU; Oncor is the sole delivery company in this territory. However, Oncor’s delivery charges are regulated by the PUCT and are the same whether you choose the cheapest or most expensive REP. When comparing plans, the energy charge is the variable you control — Oncor’s fees stay constant.
Contact Oncor Electric Delivery at 888-313-4747 for all outage reports in Waxahachie and Ellis County. Oncor owns the physical infrastructure — poles, wires, transformers — and dispatches crews for all restoration work. You can also report outages and track real-time restoration progress through Oncor’s storm center and outage map at oncor.com. Do not call your retail electricity provider for outages; they handle billing, not wires. Waxahachie’s older historic neighborhoods with above-ground lines may experience slightly more weather-related outages than newer subdivisions with underground utilities, but Oncor serves both equally.
Texas law (PUCT Substantive Rule §25.475) requires your REP to send a written “Contract Expiration Notice” at least 30 days (and no more than 45 days) before your plan ends. If you do nothing, you’ll automatically roll onto a month-to-month variable rate that is almost always significantly higher — often 15–20+ ¢/kWh. Set a calendar reminder about six weeks before your contract end date, shop for new Waxahachie plans on this page, and lock in a new rate while your old plan is still active. You won’t pay an early-termination fee during the final 14 days of your contract, so there’s no penalty for shopping early and making a seamless transition.
Yes — and they’re often price-competitive with conventional plans. Multiple providers offer 100% renewable electricity plans in the Oncor territory covering Waxahachie, backed by Texas wind and solar renewable energy credits (RECs). Green Mountain Energy, Chariot Energy, and Gexa Energy are among the most popular green options. If you have rooftop solar panels, several REPs offer solar buyback programs that credit you for excess generation exported to the grid. Texas’s massive wind and solar infrastructure means renewable plans in Waxahachie are no longer the premium they once were — in some months, the cheapest plan available is a 100% renewable option.
North Texas summers regularly push above 100°F from June through September, forcing air-conditioning systems to work overtime. In Waxahachie, your home’s construction makes a dramatic difference. The city’s beloved Victorian homes — with their 10–12 foot ceilings, original single-pane windows, lath-and-plaster walls, and minimal attic insulation — can easily consume 2,000–2,500 kWh during peak summer months. That’s double or more what a modern, well-sealed new-build uses. Even newer construction sees summer usage climb significantly because of the sheer duration of triple-digit heat. To manage costs: seal gaps around windows and doors, add attic insulation (especially in older homes), set your thermostat to 78°F when home, and always compare plans at your summer usage level (1,500–2,000 kWh), not just the standard 1,000 kWh.
Waxahachie commercial electricity rates are custom-quoted based on your business’s usage volume, demand profile, and contract length. Unlike residential plans with published per-kWh rates, commercial pricing includes energy charges plus demand charges based on your peak usage. Waxahachie’s business landscape is uniquely varied — historic downtown square retailers, Scarborough Renaissance Festival seasonal vendors, I-35E corridor distribution centers, and film production operations each have very different load shapes and rate structures. A boutique on the square pulling 1,500 kWh/month will see a very different quote than a 100,000-square-foot warehouse. Request a free commercial quote at electricchoice.com/business-electricity/ to see rates tailored to your operation.
Waxahachie, Midlothian, and Cedar Hill are all served by Oncor Electric Delivery, which means the same retail electricity providers and plans are generally available across all three cities. The energy charge portion of your rate will be identical for the same plan regardless of whether your address is in Waxahachie, Midlothian, or Cedar Hill. Any difference in your total monthly cost comes down to usage patterns — home size, insulation quality, thermostat settings — rather than location. Waxahachie’s historic Victorian homes tend to use more electricity than comparable-sized modern construction in Midlothian or Cedar Hill, but that’s a building-efficiency issue, not a rate issue. Shop plans on this page and you’ll see the same competitive rates available to your neighbors across southern DFW.
For most Waxahachie residents, a fixed-rate plan is the smarter choice. North Texas summers are long and brutally hot, meaning your highest electricity consumption coincides with the period when wholesale prices spike on the ERCOT grid. A variable-rate plan can leave you exposed to $250–$350 summer bills on a home that costs $110 in spring. Fixed-rate plans lock your per-kWh energy charge for the full contract — typically 12 to 36 months — giving you bill predictability through every season. The trade-off is an early-termination fee if you cancel before the term ends, usually $150–$200. Variable-rate plans only make sense if you’re staying short-term (e.g., renting month-to-month) or you closely monitor ERCOT wholesale prices and are comfortable with the risk.
Choose your new plan and sign up online or by phone — the entire process takes about five minutes. Your new REP files a switch request with ERCOT and Oncor Electric Delivery, and the changeover happens on your next meter-read date, typically within 1–3 business days. There is zero service interruption: no one visits your home, no one touches your meter, and the lights stay on throughout the transition. If you’re leaving a current contract early, factor in any early-termination fee — but remember you can switch penalty-free during the final 14 days of your existing contract. Being in Waxahachie on the I-35E corridor means you have seamless access to the same providers and enrollment processes as residents in Dallas proper.
