Energy providers in Arlington have different responsibilities than the utility companies. Your electricity provider of your choice sells power to your home or business through an energy plan, manages your account and billing, and monitors usage.

Even though you can choose your provider, your local utility company — which is based on your location, so you can’t choose which one serves you — delivers your electricity and maintains the electrical infrastructure by repairing power lines and restoring energy during outages. Oncor Electric Delivery is the utility in Arlington, and they’re the ones you should call in the event of a power outage or an electrical emergency. You can reach Oncor in the following ways:

• Report an outage online.
• Call 1-888-313-4747
• Text OUT to 66267

When you’re shopping for cheap electricity companies in Arlington on Choose Energy, you’ll encounter a variety of plan types. Here are the most common options you’ll find on our marketplace:

Fixed-rate plans

A fixed rate plan secures your Arlington electricity rate for the length of your contract, which typically ranges from one to three years. You aren’t vulnerable to electricity rate hikes during this time, but if you end your contract early, you’ll likely have to pay an early termination fee (ETF).

Variable-rate plans

A variable-rate energy plan doesn’t require a contract with a set rate. Instead, your rate is determined by the current energy market, which can lead to frequent price changes. You’ll save money when energy demand is low, but your bill could spike when demand increases. On the plus side, since there’s no contract involved, you can switch plans whenever you want with no penalty.

Prepaid and no-deposit plans

Depending on your credit score, you may be required to pay a deposit for your energy plan before beginning service. No-deposit plans, like a prepaid plan, allow you to skip the deposit and let you pay for your electricity upfront. Your provider will notify you to top up your account when it runs low.

Green energy

Texas is a leader in renewable energy. It ranks among the top of all states for wind and second in solar energy generation, making it easy for Arlington residents to find affordable green energy plans.

Each energy plan in Texas includes a percentage of green energy. The exact percentage is listed in a plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL). Arlington electricity providers like Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy also specialize in offering 100% green energy plans.
