In traditional energy markets, you’re required to buy electricity from your area’s utility company. But in Rowlett, energy is deregulated — giving you the power to choose your electricity provider and plan. Since Rowlett energy companies must compete to earn your business, it’s easier to find cheap rates.

Thanks to deregulation, you’re free to choose from many different Rowlett electricity providers, including these highly-rated companies:

• 4Change Energy: Donates 4% of its profits to charitable organizations, and offers fixed-rate and green energy plans in Rowlett.
• Gexa Energy: Specializes in 100% renewable energy plans, with term lengths ranging from 8 to 36 months.
• TXU Energy: The largest retail electric provider (REP) in Texas, and sells fixed-rate, variable-rate, and green energy plans in Rowlett.
• Frontier Utilities: As one of the cheapest electricity providers in Rowlett, Frontier provides bill credit incentives on many of its plans.
• Reliant Energy: This electricity company has a variety of fixed-rate plans, some of which offer waived usage fees or bill credits when you consume a certain amount of electricity.

While you can pick your energy provider, you can’t choose your utility company. Instead, utilities are assigned based on your address. (Oncor Electric Delivery is the city of Rowlett’s utility company.) Utilities serve a few purposes, including delivering electricity to homes and businesses and managing the power grid in their service area.

If your power goes out in Rowlett, you should report it to Oncor. Here’s how:

• Call 888-313-4747
• Text “OUT” to 66267
• Use Oncor’s online outage portal

With Choose Energy, shopping for electricity plans in Rowlett’s deregulated market is simple. However, there are several features to understand, including:

• Fixed vs. variable rates: If you sign up for a fixed-rate plan, you’ll lock in an electricity rate for the duration of your contract. The rates on variable-rate plans can change each month, depending on the wholesale cost of energy.
• Plan length: Fixed-rate plans generally last up to 36 months. If you end your plan while still under contract, your light company will charge an early termination fee (ETF). Variable-rate plans don’t require a contract, so you can cancel your plan (for free) whenever you’d like.
• Same-day energy deadlines: In Rowlett, many energy providers offer same-day connections to get your lights on within hours. However, to take advantage of this service, you’ll need to sign up before the provider’s cut-off time. Call us at the phone number on your screen to learn more about same-day electricity.
• Renewable energy options: There are a number of renewable energy plans available in Rowlett. Reduce your carbon footprint by signing up for a plan with green energy.
• Electricity Facts Label (EFL): Your plan’s EFL contains detailed information about its rate, term length, fees, and more. It’s important to read the EFL carefully before signing up for a plan.
• Your usage needs: It’s common for electricity plans to have different rate tiers, depending on how much energy you use that month. To determine the best plan for your habits, check your previous electric bills to understand how much power you typically consume.
