Oncor Electric Delivery is Cedar Hill’s utility

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 5.6183 ¢/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. Each type of plan comes with certain pros and cons you should understand before enrolling. The most common types of electric plans include:

• Fixed-rate plans: A fixed-rate plan has a stable electricity rate and a longer-term contract (usually lasting between 12 to 36 months). Your rate per kWh 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 include an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel too soon. 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 and will fluctuate with the wholesale price of energy. This can benefit you when market rates are low — but when energy demand rises, expect your rate to go up as well. On the plus side, you can cancel a variable-rate plan at any time without paying an ETF. If you’re a short-term renter or you move frequently, you might consider a variable-rate plan.
• No-deposit plans: Most Cedar Hill electricity providers perform 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 where you pay for electricity before you use it. Your provider will notify you when you need to add more funds to your account.
• 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.

If you want to lock in the cheapest rates, our experts recommend shopping for a new plan during these milder seasons.
