Your power to choose electricity in Arlington
Traditional energy markets require you to buy electricity from your local utility company. The energy market in Arlington is deregulated, meaning you have the power to choose your energy provider from a variety of candidates. Electricity companies in Arlington compete for your business by offering cheap energy rates and top-quality service.

Oncor Electric Delivery: Arlington’s utility company
While you can choose your electricity provider in a deregulated market, your utility company is determined by your address and cannot be changed. Utilities deliver electricity, maintain power lines, and restore service during power outages. The utility company for Arlington is Oncor Electric Delivery. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact Oncor:
- Call 1-888-313-4747
- Text “OUT” to 66267
- Report an outage online
All utility companies charge a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) fee for delivering electricity. This includes a base monthly charge and a usage charge per kWh. Oncor Electric Delivery charges $4.23/month and 5.6183 ¢/kWh.
Types of Arlington electric plans
When you search for Arlington electric plans, you’ll come across several different plan options. The most common types include:
- Fixed-rate plans: Your electric rate remains the same for the length of your contract, which can last between 12 and 36 months. You may also incur an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your agreement early. However, you will not pay an ETF if you cancel because you’re moving outside your provider’s service area.
- Variable-rate plans: Your energy rate will vary monthly based on the wholesale energy market. You may secure cheap electricity in Arlington during low-demand periods, but risk incurring expensive rates during high-demand periods, such as summer and winter. These plans do not lock you into a contract, so you can switch providers anytime without paying a fee.
- No-deposit plans: If you want to avoid paying a security deposit before your service begins, consider a no-deposit plan. Options like a prepaid plan allow you to prepay for your energy upfront and top up your account when it runs low.
- Time-of-use plans: A time-of-use (TOU) plan contains rates that fluctuate based on electricity demand. During times of low demand, such as late at night, you can enjoy a decreased rate. However, your rate may increase during peak hours, like mornings and afternoons. This plan could be advantageous if you are comfortable shifting your usage to capture lower rates during off-peak hours.
Understanding Arlington electric rates
Electricity rates vary based on a variety of factors, including location. You may have the same plan and light company in Arlington as a friend in another city, but pay different rates. Utility companies charge different delivery fees based on where you live, so searching for electricity rates near you is important to get the most accurate quotes.

Moving to a new address

If your current provider offers service in your new area, you can transfer your current plan by contacting the company directly. Give your provider a call a few weeks before your move to set up service at the new location.
Switching energy providers
If you’re dissatisfied with your current electric provider or plan, switching to a new energy plan is simple. Simply enter your ZIP code and check the availability of the plans in your area. If you switch before your fixed-rate plan’s contract ends, you may have to pay an ETF.
