Which electricity provider in Dallas has the best energy rates?

Some of the most affordable plans on our marketplace are offered by APG&E, priced at around 7.6 to 9 cents per kWh. Enter your ZIP code to compare competitive rates from top electric companies in Dallas.

But price isn’t the only factor you should keep in mind when picking an electricity company. Consider a few more important features to inform your choice, such as:

• Provider reputation: Good customer service goes a long way when it comes to your energy provider. We review every provider on our marketplace and thoroughly evaluate customer testimonials on TrustPilot and Google to help you find a trusted, reliable provider.
• Satisfaction guarantee: Many providers offer a satisfaction guarantee, allowing you to switch plans without penalty. Check each provider’s policy to learn if this is an option.
• Green energy options: Clean energy is a priority for many Texans. Luckily, we partner with multiple Texas providers that offer fully renewable electricity plans. Popular options include Gexa Energy, Rhythm Energy, and Green Mountain Energy.
• Plan offerings: Ultimately, your best provider offers a plan suited to your budget and needs. Compare factors like plan length, price, and rate type to determine compatibility.

Types of Dallas electric plans

The Choose Texas Power marketplace offers a variety of energy plan types, each with its own pros and cons depending on your needs.

• Fixed-rate plans: Secure a stable rate for your entire contract with a fixed-rate plan. This option is ideal if you want predictable bills and protection from price spikes. Keep in mind that you may incur an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your contract before it’s up.

  Explore the Maxx Saver Value 12 plan from 4Change Energy to lock in a fixed rate.

• Variable-rate plans: If you need electricity for a short period, a variable-rate plan could be advantageous. This type of plan doesn’t require a contract, allowing you to switch at any time. However, variable-rate plans can be volatile because the rate changes each month with the wholesale cost of electricity.

  Our shoppers enjoy the Flex Rewards plan from TXU for short-term energy.

• No-deposit electricity plans: Most power plans require a credit check or a deposit before the provider will begin electricity service. You can avoid paying a deposit by exploring no-deposit or prepaid energy plans.

  Shop Payless Power’s 6 Month- Prepaid plan to skip the deposit and credit check.

• Time-of-use plans: This type of rate is based on fluctuations in energy demand throughout the day. During periods of high demand, rates are more expensive. You can strategically plan your energy usage to save money by using energy during off-peak hours (for example, between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., on weekends and holidays, and during spring and fall).
• Renewable energy plans: Texas residents can access 100% renewable energy plans powered by solar power and wind energy. These plans are best for eco-conscious shoppers who want to reduce their carbon footprint.

  One of the top green energy plans on our marketplace is Gexa Energy’s Eco Saver Plus 12 plan.

Oncor Electric Utility is Dallas’ 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. Dallas’ utility company 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.

Dallas business electricity rates

Business owners also have the power to choose from commercial electricity companies in Dallas. Choose Texas Power offers two options for setting up electricity for your business: give us a call to speak with a dedicated business energy consultant or visit PowerHQ.com to browse multiple commercial energy plans.

How to switch energy companies

If you want to switch energy companies, you can find a new provider on our marketplace in minutes. To switch, simply enter your ZIP code to compare prices, sign up for a new plan, and your new provider will set up your service. However, keep in mind that if you cancel your old plan prematurely, you may have to pay an ETF.

Moving to a new address

If you’re moving within Texas’ deregulated market, you can handle your electricity service setup in a few ways:

1. You may be able to transfer your current plan if your provider also services your new address. Check with your current provider to learn if this option is available.
2. If your provider does not operate in your new neighborhood, you’ll have to shop for a new plan. Fortunately, you won’t incur an ETF for cancelling due to a move.

Choose Texas Power can help you set up electricity up to 90 days ahead of your move. Call the number on your screen for guidance from an energy expert on our team.
