Sachse Electricity Rates

Sachse is pronounced “SAK-see” (rhymes with “taxi”). The name comes from William Sachse, a German immigrant who served as the local postmaster in the late 1800s. If you’re new to the area, don’t worry — even longtime DFW residents sometimes get it wrong on the first try.

Yes. Sachse is in Oncor Electric Delivery’s service territory, which is fully deregulated under Texas’s electricity choice laws. That means you can choose from dozens of licensed retail electricity providers (REPs) competing for your business with different rates, contract lengths, and plan features. Oncor owns the poles, wires, and meters and delivers your power regardless of which REP you choose. Your REP handles your bill and customer service, while the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) oversees the entire market.

As of March 30, 2026 @ 8:50 AM CT, the cheapest Sachse electricity rate is 8.2¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh usage, offered by Gexa Energy (Gexa Eco Saver Plus 12). The average rate across all 195 available plans is 13.78¢/kWh. Rates are updated multiple times daily.

At the current average rate of 13.78¢/kWh, a Sachse home using 1,000 kWh/month would pay about $138/month. Most Sachse homes use between 1,000 and 1,200 kWh per month. Summer bills can climb significantly — North Texas 100°F+ heat waves push air-conditioning usage hard, and a home that uses 1,000 kWh in spring can easily hit 1,800–2,000 kWh in July and August.

Oncor Electric Delivery owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters throughout Sachse and the greater DFW area. Oncor delivers your electricity regardless of which retail provider you choose — switching providers never affects the physical delivery of your power. For outages or downed lines, contact Oncor directly at 888-313-4747 or report through their outage tracker at oncor.com.

For most Sachse residents, a fixed-rate plan is the safer choice. North Texas summers are brutal — temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, which means your electricity usage peaks exactly when wholesale prices spike. A fixed-rate plan locks your per-kWh energy charge for the full contract term (typically 12–36 months), shielding you from summer price surges. The trade-off is an early-termination fee if you cancel early, usually $150–$200. Variable-rate plans make sense only for short-term stays or if you closely monitor ERCOT wholesale prices.

Shop in spring (February–April) or fall (October–November) for the lowest rates. Wholesale electricity costs drop when air-conditioning demand is light, and providers pass those savings into lower fixed-rate offers. Avoid signing a new contract in June through August, when ERCOT grid demand peaks and retail rates can be 20–30% higher than spring. If your contract expires mid-summer, consider a short-term month-to-month plan until fall rates improve.

Contact Oncor Electric Delivery at 888-313-4747 for all outage reports and restoration in Sachse. Oncor owns the infrastructure and handles all outage work — your retail electricity provider cannot restore power. You can also report outages and check restoration status through Oncor’s outage tracker at oncor.com.

Most of Sachse is served by Garland Independent School District (Garland ISD). Sachse High School, located on Miles Road, is the community’s primary high school. Some newer developments on the city’s northern edge may fall within Wylie ISD boundaries. Garland ISD is one of the largest districts in the DFW metroplex, serving over 50,000 students across more than 70 campuses.

Texas law (PUCT Substantive Rule §25.475) requires your REP to send a written “Contract Expiration Notice” at least 30 days (and no more than 45 days) before your plan expires. If you do nothing, you’ll automatically roll onto a month-to-month variable rate that is almost always significantly higher — often 15–20+ ¢/kWh. Set a calendar reminder about six weeks before your contract end date, shop for new plans on this page, and lock in a new rate while your old plan is still active. You won’t pay an early-termination fee during the final 14 days of your contract.

Yes — and they’re often price-competitive with conventional plans. Several providers offer 100% renewable electricity plans in the Oncor territory serving Sachse, backed by Texas wind and solar renewable energy credits (RECs). If you have rooftop solar panels, some REPs offer solar buyback programs that credit you for excess generation exported to the grid. Texas’s abundant wind and solar capacity means green plans are not the premium they once were — in some months the cheapest plan available in Sachse is a 100% renewable option.

Sachse commercial electricity rates are custom-quoted based on your business’s usage profile, demand patterns, and contract terms. Unlike residential plans with published per-kWh rates, commercial pricing includes energy charges plus demand charges based on peak usage. Most Sachse businesses are small operations along the SH-78 corridor. Compare real-time commercial rates in the Oncor territory or request a free quote at electricchoice.com/business-electricity/.
