Frequently Asked Questions
The primary utility, or TDU (Transmission and Distribution Utility), for Dallas and most of North Texas is Oncor Electric Delivery. They maintain the poles and wires, read your meter, and are your contact for power outages. Your chosen provider (REP) will handle your billing.
A competitive electricity rate in Dallas for 2025 typically falls between 10 to 13 cents per kWh for a standard 12-month fixed-rate plan. Rates can change daily, so it's always best to compare real-time prices for your zip code.
Every plan in Dallas has an Electricity Facts Label (EFL) that details its costs. The main charges to look for are:
- Energy Charge: This is the price per kWh charged by your electricity provider. It's the main rate you compare between plans.
- Oncor Delivery (TDU) Charges: These fees are from Oncor Electric Delivery for maintaining the poles and wires. Everyone in Dallas pays these charges, and they are the same no matter which provider you choose.
- Base Charges: This is a flat monthly fee that some plans have. Be sure to check for this, as it can impact your total bill, especially if you have low usage.
Most providers in Dallas will run a soft credit check. A good credit score will usually allow you to bypass a deposit. If a deposit is required, you can also explore prepaid or no-deposit electricity plans from providers like Payless Power.
Your provider is required to notify you before your contract ends. If you don't choose a new plan or renew, you will likely be moved to a month-to-month variable-rate plan, which is often much more expensive. Start shopping for a new plan 30-60 days before your current one expires.
For power outages or emergencies like downed power lines, you must contact Oncor Electric Delivery directly at their 24/7 outage number: 888-313-4747. Your retail provider does not handle outages.
