Texas electricity rates rise and fall over the course of the year. If you want to stay on top of these fluctuations and sign up for a new plan at the right time, SaveOnEnergy can help. Here’s how to use our marketplace.
In North Richland Hills, electricity rates are structured based on usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh). For residential consumers, the average purchase price at each usage level is as follows:
Residential electricity prices fluctuate throughout the year, as you can see in the following chart, based on Energy Information Administration (EIA) data. If you want to find the cheapest possible plan, try to keep an eye on electricity rates in your area — and if you see a low rate, lock it in before prices spike again.
As an energy customer in North Richland Hills, you’ll have an electricity provider and a utility company. Your energy provider sells plans and handles anything related to billing while your utility maintains power lines and other power infrastructure within its service area.
When the power goes out, remember to report it to your utility company (Oncor) — not your energy provider. You can notify Oncor of outages in two ways:
It’s important to factor in your location when browsing electricity rates because rates can change from city to city — even if you’re looking at the same plan and provider. The reason for this? Each utility has its own transmission fees, which impact the price you pay for electricity.
SaveOnEnergy can help you find accurate electricity rates near you. Submit your ZIP code to find current plans and prices in your area.
Like the rest of Texas, North Richland Hills has scorching hot summers, where highs routinely hit the mid-90s. As you might expect, energy demand is at its peak when the weather is like this — but it cools off as temperatures dip. If you want to find the best electricity rates in North Richland Hills, see if you can switch providers during more moderate months.
Your new provider will manage the transfer process, but remember that canceling a fixed-rate plan before it’s over may require you to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
At SaveOnEnergy, we feature multiple types of plans on our marketplace, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, no-deposit, and green energy plans. Not sure which plan to pick? Get an overview of five popular types below, or give us a call at the phone number on this page.
If you’re looking for a long-term contract (usually 12–36 months) and a stable electricity rate, consider a fixed-rate plan. Your rate won’t change during your agreement, but if you cancel before it officially ends, you’ll probably have to pay an ETF.
Maybe you prefer the flexibility of a month-to-month energy plan. In that case, a variable-rate plan might be the better option. Your rate isn’t fixed, meaning that your rate (and bill) will change based on the wholesale price of electricity. On the plus side, there are no ETFs, so you can cancel or switch providers whenever you’d like without penalty.
Before you can officially sign up for service, many power companies will run a credit check. If your credit is low, they’ll likely ask for a deposit. If you’d prefer to skip these steps, look for a provider that sells no-deposit plans (such as prepaid plans).
Looking to reduce your carbon footprint? You’ll find plenty of green energy plans in Texas, where every plan includes at least some energy from renewable sources (like wind and solar power). For more information about a plan’s green energy content, check its Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
On SaveOnEnergy, you’ll find more than 20 green energy plans in North Richland Hills, including options from Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy — two companies that exclusively sell renewable plans.
As a business owner in North Richland Hills, you’re also free to choose which energy company you’d like to serve your office or other commercial location. Visit SaveOnEnergy’s business energy hub to learn more about affordable business plans from North Richland Hills electricity providers.
Understanding your typical electricity usage is the first step to saving on your utility costs. If you aren’t sure how much energy you use each month, these tips will help you come up with an estimate.

The best electricity provider depends on your needs, habits, and preferences. For instance, if you’re environmentally conscious, you might want to choose a green energy provider like Gexa Energy. If you want a no-deposit plan, then Payless Power would be a better fit. Looking for a month-to-month contract? Consider TXU Energy.
