Compare Waco electricity rates

Deregulated cities (including Waco) have utility companies and energy providers. The utility – also known as an electric supplier – is responsible for transmitting power to homes and businesses, maintaining power lines, and responding to power outages. Electric suppliers are determined based on where you live, so you can’t choose your own. In Waco, the utility is Oncor Electric Delivery. 

On the other hand, energy providers (sometimes called electricity companies) sell electricity plans to consumers and manage customer billing and energy usage. Unlike your utility company, you’re free to choose your electricity company in a deregulated market. With the Choose Energy marketplace, you can explore electricity plans from Texas’ best providers, including 4Change Energy, Frontier Utilities, and TXU Energy.

When you’re exploring Waco electricity rates through Choose Energy, you may notice that there are several different types of electricity plans. Here are some of the most common options.

Fixed-rate plans

If you choose a fixed-rate plan, you’ll pay a set electricity rate for the entire agreement (usually 12, 24, or 36 months). On the plus side, your rate won’t increase — even when demand is high. However, if you want to cancel before your contract ends, you may owe an early termination fee (ETF).

Variable-rate plans

In contrast, variable-rate plans don’t come with a set rate or a contract. Instead, your electricity rate will change depending on the current wholesale cost of power — which is great when prices are low but riskier when demand and cost spike. On the plus side, you aren’t locked into a contract and can switch providers at any time.

Prepaid and no-deposit plans

Before beginning service, it’s common for power companies to run a credit check on prospective customers. You may need to pay a deposit if your score doesn’t meet the provider’s requirements. However, a handful of energy providers offer no-deposit and prepaid plans, which allow you to avoid a deposit, prepay for energy, and top up your account as needed.
