Weather and electricity in Willow Park
Typical weather near Willow Park, from the nearest NOAA station with a complete 1991-2020 record: Weatherford, about 7 miles from the city center (station elevation 955 ft). These are normals for that station, not readings at your address. August is the warmest month on average, with a normal daily high of 95°F; January has the coolest average low, 32°F. Average daily highs reach 90°F or more in June to August. Average lows are at or below freezing in January.
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 581 for the month, and heating-degree days (below 65°F) peak in January at 652. 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 Parker County

These are historical county extremes, not Willow Park'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).

- The Willow Park mailing area is bigger than the city: ERCOT lists 2,608 competitive homes under the Willow Park postal city, 1.3 for each of the city's 2,006 Census households. Because Willow Park has grown 39 percent since the 2020 base, the ACS 2020-2024 household figure likely runs behind today's count. (ERCOT, Census)

- Move-ins show up as vacant-to-active switches in ERCOT's daily files: 29 of them in the ZIP codes most Willow Park homes use, Oct. 7-18, 2026. (ERCOT)
- On October 5, 2026, ERCOT showed 1,181 home meters switched off (de-energized) in the ZIP codes most Willow Park homes use, against 13,516 switched on; that 8.0 percent is mostly vacant houses and apartments between occupants. (ERCOT)

- Coverage gap: 76087, home to 2,195 Willow Park-addressed meters, has 0.41 ERCOT meters for each household the Census counts there. That fits co-op service: EIA's 2024 lists for the counties tied to the ZIP include 6 co-ops, such as the Wise, United Electric Cooperative Service, and Tri-County co-ops.

Common questions about electricity in Willow Park
Can Willow Park residents pick their own electric company?
For many addresses, if Oncor delivers there: 2,608 Willow Park-addressed homes are on the competitive market, yet ZIP codes inside Willow Park show fewer competitive meters than households, which points to co-op service on some streets. Addresses in 76087 (split) need an exact-address check before you shop.
Which Willow Park ZIP code has the most homes on the competitive market?
76087. It holds 2,195 Willow Park-addressed competitive homes; counting every address in the ZIP, ERCOT has 5,567 meters for roughly 13,449 households, a 0.41 ratio.
How many Willow Park households have a $250 electric bill?
Depends on the part of town. The ACS 2020-2024 found 45.0 percent of 76008 households paying over $250 a month for electricity and 43.2 percent in 76087. Home size, age and electric heating drive most of that gap, so compare plans at your own usage.
How do I start electric service at a new Willow Park address?
Start with the address check: Oncor-delivered Willow Park homes choose among the plans offered there and set a start date. Turnover is real in 76087, where 11.2% moved in the past year (ACS); ERCOT logged 22 vacant-to-active meters in 76008 Oct. 7-18, 2026.
Why does my Willow Park home have a Weatherford address?
76087 covers part of Willow Park, but the Postal Service names most of it Weatherford: that postal city is on 44 percent of the ZIP's 5,567 competitive home meters, Willow Park on 39 percent. Your mailing city is not your city limits; the service address decides the utility.
Why are there more electric meters than households in Willow Park?
2,608 Willow Park-addressed meters against 2,006 city households is 1.3 per household: the Willow Park postal area extends past city limits, and new homes get meters before the Census counts them. It doesn't mean every nearby address can choose.
