Compare electricity rates in Arlington

Located between Dallas and Fort Worth, the city of Arlington is home to nearly 400,000 Texans. With the University of Texas at Arlington and the Dallas Cowboys’ AT&T Stadium within its boundaries, Arlington is an important part of the DFW metropolitan area.

Arlington is also part of the state’s deregulated energy market. This means that residents and businesses in Arlington have the power to choose which electricity provider they buy from. Choose Energy has partnered with trusted providers, including TriEagle Energy, 4Change Energy, and TXU Energy, to show today’s cheapest rates at no cost to you.

That’s more important than ever. Some reports indicate residential electricity use is soaring since Texans have been under stay-at-home orders. Bills likely will soar as well. That means it could be a great time to shop for new energy plans with lower Arlington electricity rates. Enter your ZIP code to see what’s available in your area.

How has Texas energy deregulation affected Arlington?

Here’s what the latest statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration show:

• Texas residential electricity rates are 10 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas commercial electricity rates are nearly 23 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas industrial electricity rates are nearly 16 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas generates the most electricity of any state from wind.
• Texas generates the fifth-highest amount of electricity from solar energy.

Texas deregulation began in early 2002 and changed the way the energy industry functions. Now, residents of the majority of the state, including Arlington, have the power to choose a cheap electricity provider from a pool of candidates. These providers compete to win business from Arlington residents by offering cheaper rates and energy deals.

With deregulation, retail electric providers (REPs) provide your electricity supply, but the area’s utility company still manages the infrastructure.

Arlington’s utility company is Oncor Electric Delivery. If you experience an outage or a power emergency, contact Oncor, not your retail electric provider.

Beyond the utility company, Arlington businesses and residents have many REPs to choose from. With the Choose Energy 24/7 marketplace you can compare among REPs with the lowest rates at no cost. Whether you’re looking for fixed rates, variable options, or green energy plans, Choose Energy has a plan for you.

Keeping an eye on your energy usage can be hard, which is why Choose Energy offers a variety of prepaid plan options for customers who want to pay in advance. Whether you’re on a tight budget, don’t want a binding contract, or just want to better manage your usage, prepaid electric plans can be a good solution.

These plans also provide a popular no-deposit option for customers with bad credit or those who don’t want to undergo a credit check. Keep in mind rates for prepaid plans may be higher than traditional contract plans. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t choose this option, though. It all depends on what is most important to you as a consumer.

Texas is a national leader in renewable electricity. The Lone Star State, for example, leads the country in wind energy production and comes in fourth in solar energy.

Consumers in Arlington can also purchase green electricity plans for their homes. Choose Energy works with preferred Arlington renewable energy providers, including Amigo Energy and Green Mountain Energy, to make that easy for residents.
