Oncor Electric Delivery:Waco’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 Waco 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:

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 Waco electric plans

Understanding the different types of energy plans can help you pick the right electricity company in Waco. Here are the three main types of electricity plans available to Waco residents:

  • Fixed-rate plans: With this type of electricity plan, you secure a steady rate for a set period — typically between 12 and 36 months — and your rate won’t change for the length of your contract. However, you’ll likely have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your contract early.
  • Variable-rate plans: With a variable-rate electricity plan, your rate fluctuates with the energy market. It could increase in certain months and go down in others. The advantage is that you can change plans anytime without penalty.
  • No-deposit plans: If you’d like to avoid an initial deposit, you can opt for a no-deposit plan. There are certain requirements to qualify for a no-deposit plan, such as past payment history or a high credit score. Keep in mind that these are only available from certain electric companies in Waco, such as Payless Power.
  • Prepaid plans: A prepaid plan is a type of no-deposit plan that lets you skip the credit check and pay for your power upfront. Your provider will let you know when your account runs low so you can top up.
  • Same-day electricity plans: If you need electric service immediately, consider a same-day electricity plan. After you sign up, your energy provider will work with your utility company to set up your service that day.
  • 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.

Understanding Waco electric rates

The price you pay for electricity depends on where you live and which utility services your area. Because of varying supply and delivery charges, the rate someone pays in another part of Texas might differ from what you pay in Waco, even if you have the same plan.

Our marketplace makes searching for the best electric company near you easy. Enter your ZIP code on this page to find a list of the Waco light companies and rates available in your area.
