Power outages in Allen
Although you purchase electricity from your Allen energy provider, your provider doesn’t handle power outages. In a deregulated energy market like Texas, your local utility is still in charge of the electrical infrastructure. If you experience a power outage in Allen, call Oncor Electric at 1-888-313-4747 or visit its outage reporting page online.
How to choose your power in Allen
Allen is one of many cities in Texas with a deregulated electricity market. In regulated energy markets, you are required to purchase energy from your utility company. Deregulation introduces competition into the market and gives consumers the power to choose electricity plans and rates in Allen, TX. When you shop at the right time, you can save by securing more affordable electricity in Allen.

Types of electricity plans in Allen
When searching for an electric company, the Choose Energy marketplace offers three main energy plans. Each type of plan has unique features that may work best for you, depending on your energy needs. The following is a breakdown of each plan type to help you decide which one is right for you.
Fixed-rate plans
These electricity plans are popular for their predictability. With a fixed-rate plan, your provider sets a stable rate for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity you use. By securing your rate with a contract, a fixed-rate plan protects you from fluctuations in the energy market, usually for 12, 24, or 36 months. In exchange for that stability, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your plan before the contract ends.
Variable-rate plans
With a variable-rate plan, your monthly rate can change based on the wholesale cost of electricity, which fluctuates depending on demand. The upsides of this unpredictability are that you can change your plan at any time without incurring an ETF and take advantage of cheap rates when demand is low. However, if demand increases when temperatures are more extreme, you will likely pay higher rates.
Prepaid and no-deposit plans
Many energy providers require a deposit before you start service. However, you can opt for a no-deposit plan. One popular no-deposit plan is a prepaid plan, which requires you to prepay for your electricity and maintain a balance in your account, but you don’t have to pay an upfront deposit. You can also bypass a credit check with this type of plan.
