Oncor Electric Delivery is the utility company for the Arlington area.

Your electricity provider will be responsible for generating the electricity and selling it to residents.

When shopping for electricity, you’ll notice that there are many different types of plans available. The most popular plans on the Choose Energy marketplace are below:

Fixed-rate plans

A fixed-rate energy plan allows you to lock in your energy rate for the length of your contract, which is usually 12, 24, or 36 months. Your energy rate won’t fluctuate with the market during this time, meaning you’re protected from rate changes. However, if you decide to switch providers before your contract is over, you might be charged an early termination fee (ETF). 

Variable-rate plans

Unlike a fixed-rate plan, a variable-rate energy plan doesn’t lock you into a contract. Instead of having a locked-in rate, your rate each month changes with the current energy market. Some months you’ll see your rate go up, and other months you’ll experience savings. Since there is no contract, you can switch providers at any time.

Prepaid and no-deposit plans

Depending on your credit score, you may be required to pay a deposit when you sign up for your energy plan. However, many companies offer no-deposit energy plans that allow you to avoid the deposit. A prepaid energy plan is one where you pay for your electricity upfront instead of paying a deposit.
