Oncor Electric Delivery is Denton’s utility company
While you can choose your electric company in Denton, 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 Denton 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.
- Visit Oncor’s online outage portal.
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 Denton electric plans
An important part of shopping for a new Denton electric company is getting to know the various plan options you’ll come across. The Choose Texas Power marketplace features several popular plan types, including:
- Fixed-rate plan: Your electricity rate stays the same for the length of the contract, typically one to three years. It’s a reliable option for those who want predictable bills, though canceling early may require an early termination fee (ETF).
- Variable-rate plan: Your rate shifts with the energy market on a month-to-month contract. There’s no long-term commitment or ETF, but your rate can spike suddenly based on demand.
- No-deposit plan: Many providers require a deposit before starting service based on your credit score. A no-deposit plan lets you skip that step. One popular type is a prepaid electricity plan, where you pay for your energy usage up front and top up your balance when it gets 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 Denton electric rates
Denton electricity rates vary based on the delivery fees charged by your local utility company, which differ based on where you live in Texas. Because of this variation, the rate you pay can differ from someone on the same plan in another part of the state.
