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. Dallas’ utility company 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:
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.
Business owners also have the power to choose from commercial electricity companies in Dallas. 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.
If you want to switch energy companies, you can find a new provider on our marketplace in minutes. To switch, simply enter your ZIP code to compare prices, sign up for a new plan, and your new provider will set up your service. However, keep in mind that if you cancel your old plan prematurely, you may have to pay an ETF.

The electric company you choose depends on the factors most important to you. Consider each company’s prices, trustworthiness, years in business, customer reviews, and more to make an informed decision.
The Choose Texas Power marketplace makes signing up for electricity in Dallas quick and easy. Enter your ZIP code, compare electric rates, read plan details, and choose the plan that best fits your household’s needs.
Gexa is generally cheaper than TXU on our marketplace and typically offers some of our lowest Dallas electricity rates. Many of Gexa’s plans contain bill credits with a lower average price if you fall within the correct usage tier. Double-check the EFL to ensure the plan’s pricing structure matches your typical usage.
The Smart Edge 12 plan is worth if you use at least 800 kWh of electricity per month, because it includes a $50 bill credit when you reach that threshold. This TXU plan is most advantageous if you use 800-1,000 kWh, but it gets more expensive if you land in the 500- or 2,000-kWh usage tiers.
Let us put the power in your hands with a new electricity plan.
