Your power to choose electricity in Round Rock
The state of Texas deregulated large parts of its energy market back in 2002. This step gave residents and business owners in places like Round Rock the power to choose their electricity provider. You can shop for electricity plans based on your preferred features and energy budget. This process differs from a traditional energy market, where consumers are required to buy energy from their local utility.

Round Rock utility companies and energy providers
In regulated energy markets, your energy provider and utility company are usually the same. However, in a deregulated energy market like Round Rock, Texas, utility companies and energy providers provide different services.
Your utility company manages the power grid, delivers power, and restores power during outages. It doesn’t actually sell electricity to you. Round Rock’s utility company is Oncor Electric Delivery. You can’t choose your utility — it is assigned based on where you live.
On the other hand, electricity providers in Round Rock sell power to you and manage account billing through electricity plans. You do have the power to choose your energy provider. Choose Energy partners with top energy providers, including:

Types of electricity plans in Round Rock
Round Rock energy providers offer a wide variety of plan options, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, and no-deposit plans. Understanding how each plan type works will help you evaluate all your options by comparing their benefits and drawbacks.
- Fixed-rate plans: A fixed-rate plan offers a secure rate that lasts for a set contract, usually 12, 24, or 36 months. These plans are ideal for homeowners or businesses looking for a consistent electricity rate. It’s important to read the fine print of your plan, called the Electricity Facts Label (EFL), to see exactly what your plan features are. Some plans may define how much energy you need to use to get the best rate. For example, many fixed-rate plans offer lower prices if you consume over 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power and less than 2,000 kWh per month. You may also incur an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your contract prematurely.
- Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans don’t have a contract, and you have the flexibility to switch providers if a better rate is available. You won’t pay any ETFs, and you may be able to find a low introductory rate. However, keep in mind that Round Rock electricity rates on variable-rate plans can increase during any given month in response to market shifts or surges in energy demand.
- No-deposit plans: Energy companies will typically run a credit check to determine whether you have to pay an upfront deposit to set up service. You’ll usually get this deposit back at the end of your time with the company (or even after a certain number of on-time payments). However, if you prefer to skip the deposit, you should consider no-deposit options, such as a prepaid plan, where you pay for your energy upfront and top up your account when the balance runs low.
