Your power to choose electricity in Wichita Falls
Before deregulation, people in Wichita Falls had to buy power from their local utility company — with no flexibility in terms of their rate or provider. But today, locals have the power to choose their rate, plan, and electric company. If you live or own a business here, you can use this to your advantage by shopping around for Wichita Falls electricity rates and signing up for a plan that’s right for your needs.

Wichita Falls utility companies and energy providers
There are two types of companies that work together to power homes and businesses in deregulated cities: utility companies and energy providers. Utilities deliver electricity to residential and commercial properties in their service area. They also maintain electrical infrastructure and restore power in an outage. Your utility company is determined by your location, so unlike energy providers, you can’t choose your own. In Wichita Falls, the utility is Oncor Electric Delivery.
In contrast, Wichita Falls electricity providers sell energy plans to consumers. They also manage your usage, billing, and account details. You’ll find numerous energy companies in Wichita Falls, including 4Change Energy, Direct Energy, Express Energy, and TXU Energy.
Power outages in Wichita Falls
If you lose power in Wichita Falls, be sure to contact your utility company — and not your electricity provider — to have it restored. Here are a few ways to report an outage to Oncor:
- Call 1-888-313-4747
- Text OUT to 66267
- Use the online outage reporting system
Types of electricity plans in Wichita Falls
When searching for a new electricity company on Choose Energy, you’ll come across a few different types of plans, including:
- Fixed-rate plans: If you select a fixed-rate plan, you’ll get a secured electricity rate for the length of your contract. Typically, these contracts last between 12 and 36 months. You won’t be susceptible to energy rate hikes, but you may need to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your plan early. This type of plan is good if you want to budget for a predictable energy rate every month.
- Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans offer more flexibility than fixed-rate ones. They don’t have contracts, so you can cancel or switch at any time without a penalty fee. However, the rates on these plans vary depending on the market price of electricity. This means that your energy costs can spike when demand is high. These plans are ideal if you’re in a short-term rental or apartment.
- Prepaid and no-deposit plans: Electricity companies will often require an initial deposit before beginning service. To avoid this, you can sign up for a no-deposit plan. Prepaid plans, for example, let you pay for your energy usage in advance and add money to your account when it gets low.
