Compare electricity rates in Wylie

The city of Wylie is located to the northeast of Dallas and has a population of almost 50,000. Incorporated in 1887, it has been known at various points over the course of its history first for dairy farming and onion industry. At one point, it was even called the “Onion Capital of the World.”

Today, Wylie sits in the Oncor utility area of Texas’s deregulated energy market. This means that Wylie residents are not bound to an electricity supply from Oncor but rather can choose who their electricity supply comes from. This allows residents to pick an energy plan that fits their needs and budget. Enter your ZIP code above to explore Wylie electric companies, rates, and plans available right now.

How has deregulation affected Wylie?

Here’s what the latest statistics from the U.S. Energy Information Administration show:

• Texas residential electricity rates are nearly 11.4 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas commercial electricity rates are nearly 28.33 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas industrial electricity rates are nearly 26 percent lower than the national average.
• Texas generates the most electricity of any state from wind.
• Texas is in the top five each month for generation of electricity from solar energy.

While there are still some cities in Texas where energy is regulated, a majority opted for deregulation starting in 2002. This drastically changed the way the industry operated. Where previously residents were required to purchase energy from the utility company that managed their area of the state, now they have many providers vying for their business. While residents now need to search for energy plans, this also allows them to find lower prices and a variety of options to suit their needs.

Because of energy deregulation, utility companies have had to change the way they operate. Before deregulation, they were responsible for selling and delivering electricity to the consumer, now they are only responsible for delivering it. They also maintain the power lines and other energy infrastructure in the area. Power outages should be reported to the utility company, not the retail energy provider. In Wylie, the utility company is Oncor Electric Delivery, one of the largest in the state.

Since utilities no longer sell electricity in deregulated areas, residents must choose a plan from a retail electricity provider. These providers bill consumers for the energy and any related fees from the utility. They also coordinate with the utility company to make sure your energy is delivered. Choose Energy has partnered with the most trusted providers in Wylie, including 4Change Energy, Just Energy, and TXU Energy, to bring residents the most reliable service.

The energy industry is already big in Texas and is continuing to grow, including a massive increase in renewable projects. Texas is already home to thousands of wind turbines, bringing in the most wind energy generation in the country. Solar power isn’t far behind, and neither industry shows signs of slowing.

Because of this, Wylie residents have the option to source their homes’ energy with renewable electric plans. Green Mountain Energy and Amigo Energy are two green energy suppliers that offer plans in the Wylie area, allowing consumers the chance to lower their home’s environmental footprint.
