Oncor delivery was checked on September 23, 2026 against the delivery schedule updated September 13, 2026. The same delivery amounts appear in the archived EFLs; 4Change’s EFL refers to this schedule. These assumptions stay fixed in this dated analysis.

The usage test

How the bill changes with usage

Each bar is one separate monthly bill. With no usage credits, costs increase steadily. The fixed delivery charge is spread over more kWh as usage rises.

1,000 kWh on average is not 1,000 every month

Our standard seasonal example uses 12,000 kWh over twelve months. Its modeled annual cost is $1,373.46, equivalent to 11.45¢/kWh. With no usage-credit thresholds, the annual energy cost depends on the total kWh rather than which months use the most.

Before you choose

Who should take a closer look

The structure may suit a household with variable usage that expects to keep the contract for twelve months. Check the current offer and compare its full-year cost before treating the researched price as available today.

The EFL lists a $300 cancellation fee, twice the $150 on several alternatives in this batch. That can outweigh a modest rate saving if you need to switch early. The renewable content in this EFL is 15%.
