Keller is a city where only part of the town is on the competitive market; the rest is served by an electric co-op.
Last updated . Written by Power Hopper. Reviewed by Brent Ward, founder, on 2026-10-19. Data as of October 5, 2026 (meters) and October 19, 2026 (plan prices).
In short: Every Keller-addressed home in ERCOT's competitive data is on Oncor's wires (6,576 active residential meters, October 5, 2026). Only part of Keller is on the competitive market: that count compares with about 16,462 Census households in the city. The rest are likely served by an electric co-op or another utility without retail choice, so check your exact address. Your delivery utility handles the wires and outages; the retail provider you choose sets your price and sends the bill.
Who delivers electricity in Keller?
Every Keller-addressed home in ERCOT's competitive data is on Oncor's wires (6,576 active residential meters, October 5, 2026). The delivery utility (TDU) owns the poles and wires, reads the meter and restores power; in an outage, contact Oncor at oncor.com/outages, not your retail provider.

Can every address in Keller choose an electricity provider?
Only part of Keller is on the competitive market: that count compares with about 16,462 Census households in the city. The rest are likely served by an electric co-op or another utility without retail choice, so check your exact address.
EIA’s 2024 utility data also lists these utilities in Tarrant County: electric co-ops Denton County Elec Coop, Inc, Tri-County Electric Coop, Inc, United Electric Coop Service Inc. EIA reports them by county, not by street, so some may not reach Keller itself; addresses they serve do not have retail choice unless the utility opted in.

Weather and electricity in Keller
Typical weather near Keller, from the nearest NOAA station with a complete 1991-2020 record: Fort Worth Alliance Airport, about 6 miles from the city center (station elevation 685 ft). These are normals for that station, not readings at your address. July is the warmest month on average, with a normal daily high of 97°F; January has the coolest average low, 36°F. Average daily highs reach 90°F or more in June to August. No month averages a daily low at or below freezing.
For electricity, the normals point to two seasons that can lift a household's usage: cooling-degree days (a measure of how far each day's mean temperature sits above 65°F) peak in July at 671 for the month, and heating-degree days (below 65°F) peak in January at 572. How much that matters to a bill depends on the home, its insulation, its heating fuel and the household, so use your own usage history, not a regional average, when you compare plans.

Historical weather records for Tarrant County
The Texas Railroad Commission's county table lists a record low of -12°F (1899) and a record high of 115°F (1909), and a regional estimate of 30 consecutive hours as a typical longest freezing or frozen-precipitation period for Tarrant County. These are historical county extremes, not Keller's monthly averages and not a forecast; the normals above describe ordinary months.
Reference only: the U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey puts the average Texas household at about 13,440 kWh a year (about 1,120 kWh a month if spread evenly). That is a statewide average for 2020, not Keller, and not an estimate for your home. EIA source.

Business electricity in Keller
ERCOT lists 792 active business meters with a Keller address, about one for every 8.3 homes, and 7 meters in ERCOT’s large non-residential class across Keller’s main ZIP codes. On Oncor’s wires, a business picks its retail provider the same way a home does; larger accounts can also buy from suppliers that sell directly to commercial customers.
Power Hopper compares offers from retail electric providers and direct suppliers for businesses. For high-consumption businesses, we can run a competitive bid so more than one supplier prices the same usage. We can’t promise savings or how many suppliers will bid. In-person business electricity consultations are available in the AllianceTexas / North Fort Worth area.
How do I compare electricity plans in Keller?
