Your electricity in zip code 76043 is delivered by Texas-New Mexico Power. Since this area is deregulated, you can choose your retail electricity provider while Texas-New Mexico Power maintains the power lines and handles outage restoration.
Glen Rose, Texas (zip code 76043) sits in Somervell County — a small but growing community of approximately 2,659 residents with full access to Texas's deregulated electricity market. Served by Texas-New Mexico Power (TNMP) for delivery infrastructure, Glen Rose residents can choose from 49 competing retail electric providers offering 224 plans as of March 2026. That level of competition is genuinely strong for a city this size, and it translates directly into consumer savings. The average rate across all available plans sits at 14.8¢/kWh, but the most competitive rate currently available drops as low as 9.9¢/kWh — a meaningful gap that makes shopping your options well worth the time.
The most competitive rate available in the 76043 zip code this March is 9.9¢/kWh, offered by True Power on their TNMP 12-Month Fixed Residential plan. The average rate across all 224 plans is 14.8¢/kWh, which means savvy shoppers who take the time to compare can potentially save nearly 5 cents per kilowatt-hour compared to simply picking a plan at random. For a household using 1,000 kWh per month, that difference adds up to roughly $50 in monthly savings — or $600 over a year. Pricing in the TNMP North zone is influenced by regional transmission costs, seasonal demand (particularly summer cooling loads in Central Texas), and the competitive pressure from nearly 50 active providers.
In Glen Rose's current market, short-term plans (1–6 months) average 14.0¢/kWh, medium-term plans (7–18 months) average 14.9¢/kWh, and long-term plans (19+ months) average 14.8¢/kWh. Interestingly, short-term plans are currently pricing slightly below longer commitments — which is somewhat unusual. That said, if you're heading into summer 2026, locking in a competitive 12-month fixed rate like True Power's 9.9¢/kWh offer provides both savings and price certainty during peak cooling season. Homeowners planning to stay put should strongly consider a 12-month fixed plan. Renters or those with uncertain timelines may benefit from a no-contract or short-term option despite the modest premium.
With 49 providers actively competing in this TNMP service area, Glen Rose residents have access to one of the more robust retail electricity markets in Texas. Notable providers serving this zip code include TXU Energy, Reliant Energy, Direct Energy, Gexa Energy, Chariot Energy, Green Mountain Energy, Rhythm Energy, Constellation Energy, Champion Energy, and Frontier Utilities, among many others. Forty of the 224 available plans are green or renewable-energy options, making this a solid market for environmentally conscious shoppers as well. Competition at this level typically drives promotional pricing and introductory offers, so it pays to compare regularly.
Texas-New Mexico Power handles all physical electricity delivery in Glen Rose — the poles, wires, and metering infrastructure. These delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas and are identical regardless of which retail provider you choose. Switching providers does not affect your delivery service, and there is no interruption to your electricity. TNMP can be reached at 1-888-866-7456 or at tnmp.com for outage reporting and delivery-related issues.
Glen Rose's average plan rate of 14.8¢/kWh is consistent with comparable Texas markets in March 2026. Neighboring areas including The Colony, Alvin, Angleton, La Marque, and Princeton are all averaging around 11.8¢/kWh — suggesting that while the floor rate in 76043 is highly competitive at 9.9¢/kWh, the overall average is pulled upward by premium and specialty plans in the mix. Seasonal demand typically spikes in Glen Rose during June through August due to Central Texas heat, making spring the ideal time to lock in a fixed-rate plan before summer pricing pressure builds.

Lock in a 12-month fixed-rate plan before Memorial Day to protect against summer price spikes. Glen Rose's average summer highs exceed 97°F, and cooling can account for 50–60% of your July and August electricity bill — rate stability is worth prioritizing.
Compare electricity-to-go or prepaid plans if you're a seasonal resident or a short-term renter near Fossil Rim or the Paluxy River area. These plans require no credit check and let you pay as you go without long-term commitment.
Check with TNMP about any available time-of-use rate structures from participating REPs. Running high-draw appliances — dishwashers, laundry, pool pumps — after 8 PM can reduce your effective cost per kWh during peak summer demand periods.
Consider a smart thermostat if you haven't already. In Glen Rose's climate zone, pre-cooling your home to 72°F before noon — then raising the setpoint during peak afternoon hours — can reduce daily cooling costs by 10–15% without sacrificing comfort.
When comparing REP plans, pay close attention to the Electricity Facts Label (EFL). Some plans in the TNMP service area advertise attractive base rates but include usage-based credits only at specific monthly consumption thresholds like 1,000 or 2,000 kWh.
