Waco Electricity FAQ
Common questions about electricity rates, plans, and providers in Waco, Texas.
How does electricity deregulation work in Waco?
In Waco, electricity delivery and supply are separated. Oncor Electric Delivery handles the wires and infrastructure, while you pick from competing suppliers (REP (Retail Electric Provider)s) for your actual electricity. This competition is regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT).
What is the cheapest electricity rate in Waco right now?
Right now, Waco rates start at 7.3¢/kWh for 1,000 kWh usage, offered by Budget Power (Prime 12 - 7.30¢). With 188 plans on the market, the average is 14.38¢/kWh. That’s a 49% spread between the cheapest and the average.
What is the average monthly electric bill in Waco?
A typical Waco household using 1,000 kWh pays around $144/month at the average rate of 14.38¢/kWh. Your bill will vary with seasonal usage patterns — summer AC and winter heating drive the biggest swings.
Who delivers electricity in Waco?
Oncor Electric Delivery handles all electricity delivery in Waco — the physical infrastructure, meter reading, and outage response. Your choice of supplier only affects who generates and bills for the supply portion.
How do I switch electricity providers in Waco?
Switching is straightforward: compare plans, choose a REP (Retail Electric Provider), and sign up. The new supplier coordinates with Oncor Electric Delivery automatically. Expect the switch to take 1–2 business days. There’s no physical work needed and no outage.
What happens when my contract expires?
Most suppliers move you to a month-to-month variable rate after your fixed term ends. This is usually higher than your locked-in rate. Set a reminder to compare plans before your contract expires.
How do Waco business electricity rates work?
Waco business electricity is priced differently from residential. Your rate depends on peak demand (kW), total consumption (kWh), and contract term. Request quotes from multiple REP (Retail Electric Provider)s to find the most competitive offer.
Who handles power outages in Waco?
Oncor Electric Delivery. Your electricity supplier has no role in outage response — that’s always handled by the delivery company.
