Your power to choose electricity in Temple

In many Texas cities, including Temple, residents and business owners have the power to choose their energy provider, rather than getting electricity from their utility company. This is due to the state deregulating its energy market back in 2002. As a result, electric companies have to compete for business, which can result in lower rates for customers. As a resident of Temple, it’s important to know how to compare the different rates available to you using your ZIP code to ensure you get the best bang for your buck.

Top Temple electricity providers

Looking for a new electricity plan in Temple? With Choose Texas Power, it’s easy to find the most up-to-date electricity rates, compare your options, and sign up all in one place. On our marketplace, you’ll find plans from some of the top Temple electricity providers, including 4Change Energy, Direct Energy, Reliant Energy, and TXU Energy.

Temple utility company

While you’re free to pick a power company in Temple, you can’t select your own utility company. Instead, utilities are determined based on where you live. Unlike electric companies, which sell energy plans to their customers and handle their accounts and billing, your utility is responsible for delivering power and maintaining power lines and infrastructure. In Temple, the assigned utility is Oncor Electric Delivery.

If you lose power in Temple, you can notify Oncor by: 

  • Calling 1-888-313-4747
  • Reporting the outage through the company’s outage center
  • Texting “OUT” to 66267

Types of Temple electric plans

When comparing energy plans on the Choose Texas Power marketplace, you’ll come across several types of energy plans in Temple, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, and no-deposit options:

  • Fixed-rate plans: These plans offer the stability of a fixed electricity rate that won’t change for the entirety of your contract (which typically lasts between one and three years). However, you’ll usually need to pay an early termination fee if you cancel your plan or change providers before your term is over.
  • Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans don’t have a contract or guaranteed rate, and your monthly payments can rise or fall along with the wholesale rate of electricity. Therefore, your energy bill may be lower during periods of lower demand, but it can spike when demand goes up. On the plus side, there’s no fee for switching providers or canceling your plan.
  • No-deposit plans: Some light companies in Temple will require an initial deposit when you sign up for one of their plans. If you’d rather avoid this fee, you can choose a no-deposit plan, such as a prepaid plan. These plans let you pay for power in advance and reload your account as needed.

Understanding Temple electric rates

Electricity rates are highly dependent on your location because utility companies have different transmission and delivery fees. That’s why it’s so important to factor in your ZIP code when searching for energy plans; otherwise, you could end up exploring rates that aren’t accurate for your area.

Green energy plans in Temple

Texas is a key producer of renewable energy, generating the most wind energy of any state in the nation. It’s also the second-largest producer of solar energy. As a result, energy customers in Temple have many green energy plans to choose from.

Because of this focus, whenever you buy an electricity plan in Texas, it will contain a percentage of renewable energy. If you’re curious to see how much green energy is in a particular plan, check its Electricity Facts Label (EFL).

Several power companies in Temple — including Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy — exclusively sell 100% green plans. You can find renewable energy rates from these providers on the Choose Texas Power marketplace.

Moving or switching to a new provider?

With Choose Texas Power, signing up for a new electricity plan is simple. Whether you’re moving to Temple or just looking for a different provider, here’s how you can use our marketplace to achieve your goal.

Moving to a new address

Moving is challenging, but you can make it a little bit easier by using Choose Texas Power to find a new light company. All you need to do is enter your new ZIP code, and you’ll see a list of rates and plans in your area.

However, if you’re relocating from another part of Texas, you may be able to bring your current plan with you. Before you move, reach out to your provider to ask if they operate in Temple. But even if they don’t, you won’t have to pay an ETF for switching providers after moving.

Switching energy providers

Looking for a better rate? You may be able to lock in a cheaper price by switching providers. To compare electric rates in Temple, submit your ZIP code on Choose Texas Power and explore the results. Don’t forget, though, that your current provider may charge an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel before your contract is up.
