Oncor Electric Delivery is Carrollton’s utility

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 Carrollton is Oncor Electric Delivery. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your Carrollton 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 5.6032 cents/kWh.

Types of Carrollton electric plans

Carrollton residents can choose from several different plan types when shopping for a new provider. You’ll typically encounter some or all of the following options:

• Fixed-rate plans: A fixed-rate plan guarantees the same electricity rate for the duration of your contract, which typically lasts 12–36 months. If you’re searching for a predictable, stable rate that can be worked into a monthly budget, a fixed-rate plan might be right for you. However, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you change plans or providers before the end of your contract.
• Variable-rate plans: With a variable-rate plan, your price per kWh changes based on market conditions. Rates often drop when demand is low but can rise sharply during high-demand periods. These plans also offer flexibility — you can switch providers anytime without paying an ETF — making them ideal for short-term renters or frequent movers.
• No-deposit plans: If your energy provider requires a credit check and you don’t qualify, you may need to pay a deposit before starting service. No-deposit plans help you skip that step. A common option is a prepaid electricity plan, which lets you pay for power in advance and add funds as your balance 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.
