Your power to choose electricity in DeSoto

Oncor Electric Delivery: DeSoto’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 DeSoto 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.

Types of DeSoto electric plans

When you’re shopping for your next electricity plan, you’ll have a few plan types to choose from. Here’s a quick summary of each type to help you determine which ones works best for you:

  • Fixed-rate plans: Fixed-rate plans come with contracts lasting between one and three years and a set rate that won’t change, no matter what happens with the energy market. This type of plan is ideal if you want stability and predictability. However, these plans usually include early termination fees (ETFs) if you cancel before the contract expires.
  • Variable-rate plans: A variable-rate plan is a month-to-month option in which your rate changes with the current energy market. When the market rate is down, your rate will likely be lower, but during high-demand seasons, bills usually increase. On the plus side, there are no contracts or ETFs, so you can cancel or switch plans whenever you want with no penalty.
  • No-deposit plan: Most electricity plans require an upfront deposit, but if you have a good credit score, you may not be required to pay one. If you’d prefer to avoid a credit check altogether, you can opt for a prepaid or no-deposit plan, which allows you to pay for your electricity upfront and top up your account as needed.
  • 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.
