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 37 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 Electricity Facts Label (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 5.2¢/kWh. Most energy advisors recommend fixed rates for budget predictability, especially during peak-demand seasons when wholesale prices historically spike.
