Who delivers electricity in Carrollton?

Oncor Electric Delivery handles all electricity delivery in Carrollton — the physical infrastructure, meter reading, and outage response. Under the deregulated model regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), your TDU (Oncor Electric Delivery) is separate from your supplier. Your choice of REP (Retail Electric Provider) only affects who bills you for the supply portion and at what rate.

Oncor Electric Delivery completes the switch in 1–2 business days with no service interruption.

Are there renewable energy plans in Carrollton?

Plans with higher renewable percentages use Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) to offset your consumption. Same Oncor Electric Delivery delivery, same reliability.

How much are electricity delivery charges in Carrollton?

In Carrollton, Oncor Electric Delivery delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and apply uniformly to all customers. These fees cover the physical grid — poles, wires, transformers, meters, and outage crews. Plan rates advertised on comparison sites generally include delivery charges already. The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for every plan shows the exact split between supply costs and Oncor Electric Delivery’s delivery fees.

Should I choose a fixed or variable rate plan in Carrollton?

A fixed-rate plan in Carrollton locks your per-kWh supply rate for the contract term, shielding you from ERCOT wholesale price swings. Variable plans may start lower but can increase monthly without notice. With Carrollton fixed rates starting at 6.7¢/kWh, locking in before summer — when Texas wholesale prices historically spike — gives most households more predictable bills and lower overall costs.
