Bedford Electricity Rates and Companies

Our recommended Bedford energy plans

The best electricity plans in Bedford for most residents are usually fixed-rate plans, which keep your energy rate stable throughout your contract. Many popular plans also include bill credits that can significantly lower your effective electricity rate when your monthly usage falls within the plan’s intended range. Understanding your typical electricity usage can help you identify plans that offer the strongest savings opportunities.

Below are a few popular, well-trusted Bedford electricity plans to consider:

Best overall: Rhythm Max Saver 12

Rhythm Max Saver 12 is a strong option for many Bedford residents. The plan offers a $125 bill credit each month when usage reaches 1,000 kWh or more, creating an opportunity for significant savings. For households that regularly use around 1,000 kWh or more, the credit can help lower overall electricity costs and deliver a competitive effective rate. Rhythm’s renewable energy offerings and customer-friendly experience further enhance the plan’s appeal for many shoppers.

Best for high usage: Frontier Saver Deluxe 12

Frontier Saver Deluxe 12 may be a good fit for higher-usage households. The plan offers a $100 usage credit when you use at least 1,500 kWh in a billing cycle. While some high-usage plans require 2,000 kWh or more to earn the bill credit, many higher-usage residents do not consistently meet that threshold every month. A 1,500 kWh requirement may provide a more realistic opportunity to qualify for savings.

Best for low usage: APG&E Simple Choice 12

APG&E Simple Choice 12 is a solid choice for customers with lower or less predictable electricity usage. Many low-usage residents see the most month-to-month variation in their electricity use, which can make bill-credit plans risky. Because this plan does not rely on usage minimums or bill credits, your bill is less likely to jump simply because you missed a specific usage threshold.

The best electricity plan for you will depend on your preferred contract length, typical monthly kWh usage and whether you can consistently qualify for any bill credits. We recommend using our rate finder tool to compare plans and match with the best option for your home.

Oncor Electric Delivery: Bedford’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 Bedford 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 Bedford electric plans

Thanks to deregulation, you can also choose from several types of electricity plans in Bedford. Your options include:

• Fixed-rate plans: This type of plan offers a stable electricity rate for a set period (usually 12, 24, or 36 months). During that time, you’ll be protected from price hikes in the energy market. However, you’ll likely be charged an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your plan or change providers before your contract officially ends.
• Variable-rate plans: There are no contracts or ETFs with variable-rate plans. Instead, you’ll have a month-to-month agreement with your provider, which you can cancel at any time without penalty. The tradeoff is that your rate is tied to the wholesale electricity market, so it can fluctuate on a monthly basis, causing your rate to rise or fall.
• No-deposit plans: With most Bedford energy companies, your credit score determines whether you need to pay a deposit for your service. However, you can skip the credit check and deposit with prepaid plans, a type of no-deposit plan that lets you pay in advance.
• 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.

Commercial energy

Businesses in Bedford also have the ability to choose their own electricity provider and lock in the best commercial energy rates. Choose Texas Power offers two options for setting up electricity for your business: Give us a call to speak with a dedicated business energy consultant or visit PowerHQ.com to browse multiple commercial energy plans.

Texas leads the nation in wind energy production and ranks second in solar power generation, reflecting the state’s strong commitment to renewable resources. Bedford residents can access a wide range of green energy plans from providers across the deregulated market.

Regardless of which Bedford energy company you choose, your electricity plan will include some energy from renewable sources. To check the exact percentage, review the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
