Your supplier handles billing and your per-kWh rate; Oncor Electric Delivery handles the physical grid and outage response.

How do I switch electricity providers in Waco?

Three steps: (1) compare plans from 37 providers serving Waco, (2) enroll online with your chosen REP (Retail Electric Provider), (3) wait 1–2 business days for Oncor Electric Delivery to process it. No appointment needed and no interruption to your power. the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) oversees the switching process to ensure it’s seamless. The only change is who supplies your power and at what rate.

Are there renewable energy plans in Waco?

Yes — several Waco 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 Waco?

Oncor Electric Delivery’s delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and identical for all Waco customers, regardless of supplier. These fees cover transmission, distribution infrastructure, and grid maintenance. When comparing Waco 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 Waco?

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 Waco, 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.
