Oncor Electric Delivery: Cedar Hill’s utility company

While you can choose your electricity provider in a deregulated market, your utility company is determined by your address and cannot be changed. Utilities deliver electricity, maintain power lines, and restore service during power outages. The utility company for Cedar Hill is Oncor Electric Delivery. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact Oncor:

• Call 1-888-313-4747
• Text “OUT” to 66267
• Report an outage online

All utility companies charge a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) fee for delivering electricity. This includes a base monthly charge and a usage charge per kWh. Oncor Electric Delivery charges $4.23/month and 5.6032 cents/kWh.

Types of Cedar Hill electric plans

In addition to selecting a provider, you can also choose from several types of electricity plans in Cedar Hill. These include:

• Fixed-rate plans: A fixed-rate plan has a stable electricity rate and a long-term contract (usually 12 to 36 months). Your rate won’t change as long as your plan is active, so you’ll be protected against price hikes in the energy market. However, fixed-rate plans come with early termination fees if you cancel your plan before it ends. These plans are ideal for homeowners looking for long-term stability and predictability.
• Variable-rate plans: With a variable-rate plan, there is no contract or fixed rate. Instead, your rate is tied to the electricity market, so it will fluctuate with the wholesale price of energy. This can benefit you when market rates are low — but when they go up, you can expect your rate to go up as well. On the plus side, you can cancel a variable-rate plan at any time with no penalty. If you’re a short-term renter, or you move frequently, you might consider a plan like this.
• No-deposit plans: Most Cedar Hill electricity providers will do a credit check when you sign up for a new plan, and you may need to pay a deposit depending on the result. However, with a no-deposit plan, you’ll avoid the credit check and deposit requirement. Prepaid plans — like the ones offered by Payless Power — are a popular type of no-deposit plan that lets you pay for electricity before you use it. Your provider will notify you when you need to top up.
• Time-of-use plans: A time-of-use (TOU) plan contains rates that fluctuate based on electricity demand. During times of low demand, such as late at night, you can enjoy a decreased rate. However, your rate may increase during peak hours, like mornings and afternoons. This plan could be advantageous if you are comfortable shifting your usage to capture lower rates during off-peak hours.

Your bill will likely differ from the average depending on your plan’s rate, the size of your household, and how much energy you use per month.

How does weather affect energy rates?

In summer and winter, Texas temperatures are at their most extreme, leading to higher electricity demand as people run their AC and heating units more frequently. And when demand goes up, electricity rates tend to follow. Demand typically eases in spring and fall due to the milder weather, leading to lower demand and lower prices. If you want to lock in the cheapest rates, our experts recommend shopping for a new plan during these milder seasons.
