How to Compare Electric Rates in Killeen
Across Texas, electricity shoppers soon face one reality: You can’t always trust a deal or an energy plan’s terms. You need to check for the fine print.
Rates are advertised at 500, 1000 or 2000 kWh per month, but that that’s not what you’ll actually pay. There may be different tiers or bill credits that are making that rate look affordable.
That’s why we created ElectricityPlans: to provide clear, honest, gimmick-free comparisons between rates and plans. Here are some of the tools to help you compare electricity rates in Killeen to find the cheapest electricity plans.
You can shop based on your usage, so you know exactly what you will pay per kWh, and the estimated monthly bill. Our Electricity Bill Calculator feature does all the math for you!
Read one-line summaries of the fine print on each plan. We highlight key items for you.
You can shop by type of plan. So if you want a tiered rate or bill credit plan, you can find those. But you can also find true fixed rate plans, which is what we recommend for most homes.
You can compare plans side-by-side with the Compare Plans tool, then send the results to yourself via email if you’re not ready to buy yet.
There are two types of electric companies in Killeen, and it’s important to know the difference.

But you must choose an energy company in Killeen to provide your electricity. You’ll have a choice in electricity provider, rate and plan.

Moving to Killeen Texas – How to Set Up Electricity
Killeen, Texas is located in central Texas and is synonymous with the military and Fort Cazavos. Many new residents move to Killeen every year from across the country to serve in the military.
In Texas, electricity is deregulated. You must choose a retail electricity provider for the electricity in your home. The local utility company, Oncor, cannot serve as your electricity supplier. Instead, retail electric providers (REP) purchase energy directly from the utility company and sell it to you at a competitive rate. You’ll start a contract and plan with an REP, usually with a fixed or variable rate.
If you are moving in to an apartment, your apartment manager may recommend a provider to you. However, we find it’s always better to shop for your own electricity provider. The company your apartment manager recommends is seldom the cheapest electricity company in Killeen.
You can shop for electricity service in Killeen just by entering your zip code. You’ll see a list of plans to choose from.
