Tyler Electricity Rates 2026

Tyler is the largest city in East Texas and the commercial center of Smith County. The city sits within Oncor Electric Delivery's service territory and is fully part of the ERCOT deregulated electricity market. Tyler's economy is anchored by healthcare (UT Health East Texas is one of the region's largest employers), retail trade, and petroleum equipment manufacturing — a diverse economic base that supports a stable residential electricity demand profile.

East Texas's climate features high humidity and a longer cooling season than West Texas cities, extending meaningful air conditioning use from April through October. This extended cooling season means average annual electricity consumption in Tyler can be higher than comparable-sized cities in drier parts of the state. Electricity rates typically range from 9 to 14 cents per kWh for the supply component. Tyler's status as a regional healthcare and retail hub also drives significant commercial electricity demand, which some REPs leverage to offer favorable residential cross-market rates.

REPs serving Tyler ZIP codes (75701–75713) include TXU Energy, Gexa Energy, Champion Energy, 4Change Energy, Reliant Energy, Pulse Power, Cirro Energy, and TriEagle Energy.

Tyler Tip: East Texas's extended humid summers mean window units and older central AC systems consume significantly more kWh than their efficiency ratings suggest. A home energy audit from Oncor (free for qualifying customers) can identify upgrades that reduce monthly usage before you lock in a multi-year plan.
