Your electricity in zip code 76044 is delivered by Oncor Electric Delivery. Since this area is deregulated, you can choose your retail electricity provider while Oncor Electric Delivery maintains the power lines and handles outage restoration.
Cleburne, Texas (zip code 76044) sits in Johnson County — a growing community of 32,288 residents with a median household income of $50,745 — and benefits from one of Texas's most competitive deregulated electricity markets. Served by Oncor Electric Delivery in the North zone, this area gives residents full choice over their retail electricity provider. As of March 2026, 48 licensed providers are competing for your business with 372 available plans, including 290 fixed-rate options and 78 green/renewable plans. That level of competition translates directly into better pricing and more flexibility for Cleburne households. Whether you're a renter on a short-term lease or a long-term homeowner looking to lock in savings, the 76044 market has options worth exploring.
The most competitive rate currently available in zip code 76044 is 7.9¢/kWh, offered through the GridPlus 12 plan from Chariot Energy. The average rate across all 372 plans is 12.8¢/kWh, giving shoppers a meaningful spread to work with. That 4.9-cent gap between the best available rate and the market average represents real money — on a 1,000 kWh monthly bill, choosing wisely could save you roughly $49 per month, or nearly $600 annually. Pricing in this area is influenced by Oncor's regulated delivery charges, natural gas commodity prices, and the sheer volume of retail competition in the DFW corridor.
March 2026 rate data for 76044 reveals an interesting trend: short-term plans (1–6 months) are currently averaging 10.9¢/kWh — significantly lower than medium-term plans (7–18 months) at 12.9¢/kWh and long-term plans (19+ months) at 13.5¢/kWh. This means short-term contracts are unusually attractive right now, especially for renters or anyone expecting a life change in the near future. That said, locking in a competitive fixed rate on a 12-month plan still provides price stability through summer peak demand — typically July and August — when spot-market exposure can be costly. Evaluate your situation: if you're staying put and value predictability, a well-priced medium-term fixed plan remains a smart hedge.
With 48 providers actively competing in the Oncor North zone, Cleburne residents have one of the strongest buyer's markets in Texas. Nationally recognized names like TXU Energy, Reliant Energy, Direct Energy, and Constellation Energy compete alongside aggressively priced challengers like Chariot Energy, Gexa Energy, Rhythm Energy, Good Charlie, and Frontier Utilities. Budget-focused shoppers should also look at Payless Power for prepaid options. This level of competition means providers regularly roll out promotional rates and bill credits to win new customers — timing your switch around these offers can yield additional savings.
Regardless of which retail provider you choose, Oncor Electric Delivery (1-888-313-4747 | oncor.com) manages the physical wires, poles, and meter infrastructure in 76044. Oncor's delivery charges are state-regulated and identical for every provider — no provider can offer you a lower delivery rate than another. When comparing plans, focus on the energy charge and any bill credits or base fees. To switch, simply contact your chosen provider with your ESIID number (found on your current bill). Switching is free, causes zero service interruption, and your new rate takes effect on your next scheduled meter read date.
Cleburne's 76044 rates are broadly in line with neighboring DFW-area zip codes — Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, and Irving all average around 9.9¢/kWh across their available plans. However, the total plan count and provider depth in the broader Oncor North zone gives Cleburne shoppers access to the same deep competitive pool. Nearby Cleburne zip codes 76031 and 76033 draw from the same Oncor territory, so rate shopping across those zips can help you benchmark your options. Summer months drive peak demand across all of North Texas, making March an ideal time to lock in a fixed rate before cooling-season pricing pressure arrives.

Lock in a fixed-rate electricity plan before June — Cleburne summers are long and hot, with highs regularly hitting 97–100°F, and variable rates can spike dramatically during peak demand months on the ERCOT grid.
Request a 12-month usage history from Oncor before comparing plans. Knowing your actual kWh consumption across all four seasons helps you identify the plan structure — tiered, flat, or time-of-use — that will genuinely save you money.
If your home is older than 20 years, check for weatherization programs through your REP or local community action agencies in Johnson County. Air sealing and attic insulation improvements can reduce cooling loads by 15–25% in Cleburne's climate.
Consider a time-of-use or free nights plan if your household is mostly empty during the day — many Cleburne residents commute to Fort Worth or the broader DFW area, making off-peak rate structures a natural fit for their energy patterns.
Don't overlook contract expiration dates. When your term ends, many REPs automatically shift you to a higher month-to-month rate. Set a calendar reminder 60 days before expiration to compare new offers and switch or renew proactively.
As of March 2026, the most competitive rate in zip code 76044 is 7.9¢/kWh through the GridPlus 12 plan from Chariot Energy. Always compare the full plan details — including base fees and bill credits — before enrolling.
