Electricity choice in Fort Worth
Fort Worth is a large city that spreads across Tarrant County and into neighboring counties, and it has grown quickly on its north and far-west sides. Much of it is in Oncor territory, and you choose the retail provider that sells the electricity. Because the city is so big, a few pockets may be served by a different utility or a co-op that does not offer retail choice. That makes a ZIP or address check worth doing before you sign a contract, especially for a new-build home on the outskirts.
ImportantIf your address is near the edge of the city or in a new development, confirm who serves it before choosing a plan. Not every Fort Worth address is on a competitive delivery utility.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is Fort Worth served by Oncor?
Much of Fort Worth is in Oncor territory, but a few areas may be served by another utility or a co-op. Enter your ZIP or call us to confirm your address.
Can I shop for electricity in Fort Worth?
Where your address is on a competitive delivery utility, yes. You choose a licensed retail electric provider for the energy plan.
How does Fort Worth differ from Dallas for electricity?
Both are in the ERCOT competitive market and mostly served by Oncor. Fort Worth covers a wider area, so it is a little more likely that an address falls outside retail choice. Checking by ZIP settles it.
Who restores power after a storm in Fort Worth?
Your delivery utility, usually Oncor, repairs lines and restores service. Your retail provider does not.
What is a TDSP, and who is mine in Fort Worth, Texas?
A TDSP (Transmission and Distribution Service Provider) is the regulated utility that owns the poles, wires and meters, reads your meter and restores power after an outage. It does not sell you an electricity plan and its delivery charges are the same whichever retail provider you choose. Your TDSP depends on your service address — in some areas more than one utility serves the same city — so confirm it by ZIP code or call us for a free check.
What is a retail electric provider (REP)?
A retail electric provider (REP) is the licensed company that sells you the electricity itself: it sets the rate per kWh, the contract term and the fees on your plan, and it bills you. In the ERCOT market you can shop and switch between REPs freely, while your TDSP keeps delivering the power, so switching never means new wires, a new meter or a service interruption.
