Showing the 20 cheapest Dallas electricity plans based on 1,000 kWh usage.
Dallas Utilities
No matter which retail provider you pick, the poles, wires, and meters in Dallas are owned and maintained by one company — and they handle every outage.
Oncor Electric Delivery serves about 3,936,107 customers across North & Central Texas, including Dallas. The typical Oncor customer sees roughly 0.9 outages per year, each lasting about 107 minutes.
Dallas Electric Bills
At Dallas’s average rate of 13.1¢/kWh, here’s what a typical home pays across the year — and where that electricity is generated on ERCOT — the Texas grid.
Estimated monthly bill across the year
A typical Dallas home’s bill ranges from about $106 in Mar to $224 in Aug — summer air conditioning is the single biggest driver. Locking in a low fixed rate before summer is the easiest way to blunt the Aug spike.
Dallas Power Generation
Monthly bills are modeled from the local average rate and a regional seasonal usage profile; your actual usage will vary.
Dallas Grid Status
Best Dallas Electricity Plans by Usage Level

Dallas Electricity FAQ
Common questions about electricity rates, plans, and providers in Dallas, Texas.
What is the cheapest electricity rate in Dallas right now?
Right now, Dallas rates start at 6.4¢/kWh for 1,000 kWh usage, offered by AP GAS & ELECTRIC (TX) LLC (SimpleSaver 12 - 6.40¢). With 174 plans from 33 providers, the average is 13.09¢/kWh. That’s a 51% spread between cheapest and average. All providers are licensed by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and deliver power over Oncor Electric Delivery’s grid. The cheapest plan saves approximately $67/month at standard usage.
What is the average monthly electric bill in Dallas?
Based on today’s average rate of 13.09¢/kWh, expect about $131/month for 1,000 kWh of usage in Dallas. EIA data shows Texas homes typically consume 1,140 kWh/month, above the national average. On the cheapest plan at 6.4¢, supply drops to $64/month. Add Oncor Electric Delivery’s regulated delivery fees for the total bill amount.
Who delivers electricity in Dallas?
Oncor Electric Delivery handles all electricity delivery in Dallas — 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.
How do I switch electricity providers in Dallas?
Pick a REP (Retail Electric Provider) from the 33 providers serving Dallas, enroll online, and the new supplier handles everything with Oncor Electric Delivery. The PUCT-regulated switch takes 1–2 business days with no service interruption. Oncor Electric Delivery processes it without any physical work at your home. Same grid, same power — just a different rate and billing source.
Are there renewable energy plans in Dallas?
Yes — several Dallas providers offer plans with partial or full renewable energy content through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). These RECs match your usage with wind and solar generation on the ERCOT grid. No equipment changes are needed. Oncor Electric Delivery delivers the power identically regardless of whether your plan includes renewable content. Check each plan’s EFL for the exact renewable percentage.
How much are electricity delivery charges in Dallas?
Oncor Electric Delivery’s delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and identical for all Dallas customers, regardless of supplier. These fees cover transmission, distribution infrastructure, and grid maintenance. When comparing Dallas electricity plans, the rates shown at 1,000 kWh typically include delivery fees. Review each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for the full breakdown of supply versus delivery costs.
Should I choose a fixed or variable rate plan in Dallas?
Fixed-rate plans lock your supply rate for a set term (typically 3–36 months), protecting you from seasonal price spikes on the ERCOT grid. Variable-rate plans can change monthly based on wholesale electricity costs. In Dallas, fixed plans currently start at 6.4¢/kWh. Most energy advisors recommend fixed rates for budget predictability, especially heading into summer when Texas wholesale prices historically spike.
