Grapevine households get to shop for electricity. The city is in the competitive part of the Texas market, so you choose the retail company and the energy plan, while Oncor keeps doing the same job it always has: carrying power over its lines to your meter, whoever you buy from. Providers compete on what they charge and how their plans are built.
Live prices for Oncor addresses load in the table just below. Further down, we look at where Grapevine prices sat this month, what the cheap-looking credit plans in the table really cost at different usage levels, and which lines to read on an Electricity Facts Label (EFL), the standard disclosure sheet for every plan's price and terms. Prices were checked November 4, 2026, and we refresh this page monthly.

All prices here are averages per kilowatt-hour (kWh), the measure of electricity your meter tracks, at 1,000 kWh a month unless stated, with Oncor's delivery charges included. They reflect the market on November 4, 2026.
Confirmed prices in our Grapevine table ran from 7.4¢ to 9.0¢ per kWh.
Power to Choose, the state-run site for comparing plans, listed 171 plans from 42 providers for the Oncor area.
On Power to Choose, standard fixed-rate plans (not counting prepaid or time-of-use plans) ran from 6.2¢ to 16.3¢, the median was 13.1¢, and the median 12-month plan was 13.0¢.
On Power to Choose, the three lowest bill-credit prices were 6.2¢, 6.9¢ and 7.4¢, yet bill-credit plans as a group cost 18.0¢ to 27.0¢ at 500 kWh.
On Power to Choose, the cheapest 12-month plans without a credit held at about 11.8¢ to 12.4¢ whether a home used 500, 1,000 or 2,000 kWh.
Oncor's delivery charges were $4.06 a month plus 6.8673¢ per kWh on an EFL dated October 4, 2026, or $72.73 at 1,000 kWh before the energy itself.
For a statewide benchmark, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported a preliminary Texas residential average of 15.91¢ per kWh for August 2026.
What this means for you: every plan in our Grapevine table is at its cheapest at exactly 1,000 kWh, so check your own usage before you sign. If you pay more than about 13¢ on a fixed rate, the median 12-month price on Power to Choose, or you're on a month-to-month plan, there's a good chance you can pay less.
Each confirmed price in our Grapevine table this month comes from a plan with a big gap between its 500 kWh and 1,000 kWh averages, the sign of a usage credit. 4Change Energy's Maxx Saver Value 12 and Frontier Utilities' Frontier Saver Plus 12 both show 20.3¢ at 500 kWh, 7.4¢ at 1,000 kWh and 13.4¢ at 2,000 kWh. The 24-month versions cost more: Frontier Saver Plus 24 shows 21.3¢, 8.4¢ and 14.5¢, and Maxx Saver Value 24 shows 22.0¢, 9.0¢ and 15.1¢.
Frontier says its Saver Plus plans earn up to $1,500 in usage credits a year. 4Change's table listing doesn't spell out its credit, so its EFL is the place to confirm how much usage the 7.4¢ price assumes.
In practice, these plans reward a home that clears the credit threshold every billing cycle, which is easiest in summer. In a lighter month, the 500 kWh figure gives you an idea of how much more each kWh can cost, so a household whose usage falls off in spring, fall or winter often pays less over the year on a plan without a credit. Our walkthrough on how to read an Electricity Facts Label points out where those credit conditions appear.
Price a plan at the usage you really have. Ads lead with the 1,000 kWh average, but your home might use far less in April and far more in August, so look at all three averages on the EFL and focus on the one nearest your usual month.
Based on what Power to Choose listed on November 4, a good Grapevine rate is a 12-month fixed plan at about 12.4¢ per kWh or less at your usage.
A 16¢ rate is above the EIA's 15.91¢ Texas average and close to the 16.3¢ ceiling for standard fixed-rate Oncor-area plans on Power to Choose, so it's a clear signal to compare.
Drifting onto a month-to-month rate after your contract ends can get expensive. On Power to Choose, Oncor-area variable plans ran from 9.9¢ to 18.4¢ at 1,000 kWh, and you can move off one without a fee.
Your actual numbers are a click away on Smart Meter Texas, the state's official site for smart-meter usage data, and every bill lists your monthly kWh too. The EIA's figure for the average Texas home was 1,096 kWh a month in 2024, and air conditioning lifts most homes higher in the summer.
Three causes account for most high bills in Grapevine.
Air conditioning season: from late spring into fall, cooling can run around the clock in a heat wave, and your monthly kWh can jump well past spring levels. Test any plan at your peak-month usage, using the 2,000 kWh column if that's closer.
Delivery costs: Oncor's $4.06 a month plus 6.8673¢ per kWh shows up on every Grapevine bill, whichever provider you use, adding $72.73 to a 1,000 kWh month. The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) regulates those charges and publishes the current delivery rates for every Texas utility.
Contract roll-off: when a fixed plan expires without a replacement, you drop onto a variable rate that can rise with each billing cycle.
Shopping at your summer usage covers the first two. For the third, a calendar reminder a month before your end date does the job.
Two different companies are involved in every Grapevine bill. The retail electric provider (REP) is the one you choose: it sells you energy, sets your rate and sends the bill. Oncor is the transmission and distribution utility (TDU): it maintains the poles and lines, reads the smart meter and handles repairs. Because every REP relies on the same Oncor network, your choice of provider has no effect on reliability.
During an outage, Oncor is the one to call, at 888-313-4747, any time of day. You can also text OUT to 66267 or check the Oncor outage and weather page. For more on how Oncor's charges work, see our guide to TDU delivery charges.
Picking the best electric company in Grapevine starts with your meter, not a brand. Here are the plans in our Grapevine table with their average prices at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, as checked November 4, 2026.
High, steady usage every month: Maxx Saver Value 12 from 4Change Energy or Frontier Saver Plus 12 from Frontier Utilities (20.3¢, 7.4¢, 13.4¢).
Exit costs that shrink over time: 4Change lists a cancellation fee of $20 per remaining month, so it falls as the contract runs down, while Frontier charges a flat early termination fee (ETF), the cost of ending a contract early, of $150 on its 12-month plan and $200 on its 24-month plan.
A longer price lock: Frontier Saver Plus 24 (21.3¢, 8.4¢, 14.5¢) or Maxx Saver Value 24 (22.0¢, 9.0¢, 15.1¢), with the same usage caveat.
No credit to chase: every confirmed plan in our Grapevine table works on a credit this month. For a credit-free plan, Power to Choose listed 12-month options from about 11.8¢ to 12.4¢ at any usage.
Renewable energy: none of the plans in our Grapevine table is 100% renewable. On Power to Choose, 43 fully renewable plans were listed for the Oncor area on November 4, and our reviews of Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy cover two green-focused providers.
No deposit: none of our Grapevine plans is prepaid. On Power to Choose, Oncor-area prepaid plans ran 16.5¢ to 17.9¢ at 1,000 kWh.
Weigh at least three plans at your real usage and open the EFL for each on the day you sign. Our electricity provider reviews help you size up each company.
A fixed-rate plan freezes your energy price for the term, typically 12, 24 or 36 months, so summer heat doesn't raise your rate. Leaving early costs $20 per remaining month on the 4Change plans in our Grapevine table and a flat $150 or $200 on Frontier's, so pick a length you're comfortable with. Oncor's delivery charges sit outside the lock and can change, since the PUCT approves them. Browse more fixed-rate electricity plans.
Variable-rate plans have no contract, which means you can leave at any point, but the provider can reprice them every month. On Power to Choose on November 4, Oncor-area variable plans cost between 9.9¢ and 18.4¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh. They make sense mainly for short stays.
On a prepaid plan, you fund your account in advance, get usage alerts and top up when needed, with no deposit or credit check. Our Grapevine table doesn't include one this month. On Power to Choose, Oncor-area prepaid plans cost 16.5¢ to 17.9¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh. See our no-deposit electricity guide for more options.
Renewable plans are paired with renewable energy credits, often from Texas wind and solar farms. On Power to Choose, 43 of the 171 Oncor-area plans were 100% renewable on November 4. Look through our green energy plans and check the renewable content line on each EFL.
Time-of-use plans lower the price during certain hours, such as overnight or on weekends, which can work well for electric vehicle charging. Power to Choose listed six for the Oncor area this month. Solar buyback plans pay rooftop solar owners for power sent back to the grid, but the details vary widely, so compare the buyback rate, monthly fees and what happens to unused credits.
Switching is quick, and your service doesn't pause.
Grab a recent bill and note your ESI ID (Electric Service Identifier), the number assigned to your meter.
Compare plans at your usage and sign up for the one you want using your service address.
Set your start date. The new provider handles the handoff with Oncor, so there's no home visit.
If you have a contract, check its end date before you switch. PUCT rules say you won't pay an early termination fee if the switch happens no earlier than 14 days before the expiration date on your renewal notice, and that notice has to reach you at least 30 days before the contract ends. The PUCT electricity FAQ covers the details.
Moving within Texas is covered in our guide on how to switch electricity providers in Texas, and Grapevine businesses can compare business energy plans.
