Farmers Branch Electricity Rates and Companies

Our recommended Farmers Branch energy plans

The best electricity plans in Farmers Branch 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 Farmers Branch electricity plans to consider:

Best overall: Rhythm Max Saver 12

Rhythm Max Saver 12 is a strong option for many Farmers Branch 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 is Farmers Branch’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. Farmers Branch’s 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:

• Call 1-888-313-4747.

• Go to 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 Farmers Branch electric plans

You may notice a few different types of energy plans when shopping on the Choose Texas Power marketplace. Understanding how they differ can help you pick the best option for your home. The most common plan types are:

• Fixed-rate plans: With this type of plan, your electricity rate will stay the same while you’re under contract. Most contracts last between one and three years, although some providers offer shorter fixed-rate terms. Fixed-rate plans are more predictable, but providers normally charge early termination fees (ETFs) if you cancel your service before your contract ends.
• Variable-rate plans: This plan type doesn’t require a contract, providing the flexibility to switch to another provider or plan at any point without penalty. However, variable-rate plans don’t lock in your rate; instead, it’s dependent on the changing energy market. You could therefore pay a cheap electricity rate one month and suddenly experience a higher rate the next. Check out our guide to fixed vs. variable rates to learn more.
• No-deposit plans: No-deposit electricity plans in Farmers Branch let you avoid the initial deposit many plans require before starting service. One type of popular no-deposit plan is a prepaid electricity plan, which lets you pay for the energy you use and top up as you reach your limit.
• 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.
