Temple Electricity FAQ

Common questions about electricity rates, plans, and providers in Temple, Texas.

How does electricity deregulation work in Temple?

Deregulation means Temple residents aren’t stuck with one electricity supplier. Oncor Electric Delivery still delivers the power, but the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) certifies multiple suppliers who compete on price and plan terms. You choose the REP (Retail Electric Provider) that fits your budget.

What is the cheapest electricity rate in Temple right now?

As of today, the lowest Temple rate is 7.1¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh, offered by AP GAS & ELECTRIC (TX) LLC (SimpleSaver 12 - 7.10¢). Across 39 providers offering 180 plans, rates average 13.9¢/kWh. We update prices multiple times per day.

What is the average monthly electric bill in Temple?

Based on today’s average rate of 13.9¢/kWh, expect about $139/month for 1,000 kWh of usage. Choosing the cheapest plan at 7.1¢ could bring that down to $71/month.

Who delivers electricity in Temple?

Electricity in Temple is delivered by Oncor Electric Delivery, who maintains the local grid infrastructure. Your supplier choice doesn’t change who delivers the power — only who supplies it and at what rate.

How do I switch electricity providers in Temple?

Choose a certified REP (Retail Electric Provider) and enroll. Oncor Electric Delivery processes the switch within 1–2 business days. Your electricity stays on throughout — the only change is who supplies your power and what rate you pay.

What happens when my contract expires?

Your supplier is required to notify you before your contract ends. If you don’t act, you’ll typically default to a variable rate. Compare and switch proactively to avoid paying more than necessary.

How do Temple business electricity rates work?

Business rates in Temple factor in your demand profile and usage volume. A custom quote is the only way to see real pricing for your specific business. We can help you compare options from certified suppliers.

Who handles power outages in Temple?

Oncor Electric Delivery. Your electricity supplier has no role in outage response — that’s always handled by the delivery company.
