Your power to choose electricity plans in Plano

Plano electricity providers and utilities
Your utility company differs from your energy provider in a deregulated energy market. Your utility distributes electricity, maintains the grid’s infrastructure, and responds to power outages. In Plano, the utility company is Oncor Electric Delivery. You can’t choose your utility company because it is assigned based on where you live.
Meanwhile, electricity providers in Plano sell energy to residents and businesses. You can choose from a variety of light companies in Plano, including popular providers like TXU Energy, 4Change Energy, and Reliant Energy. Enter your ZIP code to explore energy companies in Plano and find cheap electricity rates today.
Power outages in Plano
If you experience a power outage, you’ll need to contact your utility company — not your Plano electricity provider. You can report an outage to Oncor Electric Delivery online, by calling 888-313-4747, or by texting OUT to 66267.
Types of electricity plans in Plano
When you shop for electricity companies in Plano, you may encounter several different types of plans:
- Fixed-rate: If you choose a fixed-rate plan, you’ll pay the same electric rate for the duration of your contract. Terms can range from one to three years, depending on the provider. This allows you to avoid rate hikes, but if you decide to switch providers or plans before your contract expires, you might have to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
- Variable rate: These plans give you the flexibility of securing low energy rates when demand is low and allowing you to switch plans without penalty when demand rises. If you choose a variable-rate plan, your electric bill will fluctuate with the wholesale price of energy, so it may be low during certain months, and rise during others.
- No-deposit: Many Plano electricity providers will require a credit check when you sign up for service, and you may have to pay a deposit before beginning your electric service if you don’t meet their credit threshold. If you’d rather avoid a deposit, choosing a no-deposit plan, such as a prepaid plan could be a good option for you. You simply pay for your energy upfront – like a prepaid cell phone plan – and your provider will notify you when your account runs low so you can top it up without interrupting your service.
