Oncor Electric’s Move-in, Move-out, and Transfer

While you have the freedom to choose your electricity provider, Oncor Electric Delivery serves as the transmission and distribution utility (TDU) for Fort Worth. This means they handle power outages in the area and ensure electricity delivery to your property.

Residential Electricity Service in Fort Worth

If you’re relocating to Fort Worth, you can explore various residential electricity services available in the area, including providers like Cirro Energy, TXU Energy, and Reliant Energy. To compare rates and find the right plan for your needs, Home Energy Club is a valuable resource. Once you’ve decided on a plan, Oncor Electric Delivery will start providing electricity on your chosen start date.

Move-in, Move-out, and Transfer Service

If you’re moving into or out of Fort Worth, you can inform your current electricity provider of your plans. If you have a long-term plan and are leaving the area, you can cancel your service without facing an early termination fee.

If your current provider also operates in your new city, you can transfer your service.

Switching Electricity Providers

If you prefer, you can switch to a different energy provider. The new company will assist you in transitioning from your old contract to the new one. However, be cautious of early termination fees (ETFs) if you’re switching plans for your current home before the contract end date.

The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) associated with each plan will disclose the ETF amount. It’s essential to calculate whether switching to a lower-rate plan, even with an ETF, will ultimately save you money. If you wait until 14 days before your contract expires, you can avoid the fee. Moreover, you can often enroll in a plan weeks or months in advance to secure the advertised rate at that time.

No-Deposit Electricity Plans in Fort Worth

No-deposit electricity plans are prepaid energy plans that eliminate the need for upfront deposits, credit checks, or long-term contracts. For prepaid no-deposit electricity, one of the best options is Payless Power.

Some important facts about these plans are:

• They are pay-as-you-go, allowing you to pay for the electricity you use each month.
• Rates may vary from one month to another.
• Most of these plans can be canceled anytime without incurring termination fees.
• However, they often have slightly higher rates due to the credit risks involved.
• Beware of certain prepaid plans on other sites that may include gimmicks leading to bill surprises.
• If you qualify, you may be eligible for a deposit waiver based on specific documentation, such as a Letter of Credit from your previous energy provider, proof of low-income status, military veteran status, age 65 or older, medical indigent certification, or certification as a victim of family violence.

Deposit Waivers

Under certain circumstances, you may be eligible for a deposit waiver based on government regulations or the policies of individual Forth Worth electricity providers. To qualify for a deposit waiver, you can provide one of the following documents:

• Letter of Credit: Obtain a “letter of credit” from your most recent energy provider confirming your last twelve consecutive months of payment history, with no more than one late payment.
