Our recommended Garland energy plans
The best electricity plans in Garland 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 Garland electricity plans to consider:
Best overall: Rhythm Max Saver 12
Rhythm Max Saver 12 is a strong option for many Garland 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: Garland’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 Garland 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
- 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 5.6183 ¢/kWh.
Types of Garland electric plans
When you shop for electricity in Garland, you’ll discover several different types of plans. Learn more about the most common options.
- Fixed-rate plans: With a fixed-rate plan, your rate stays the same for the length of your contract, giving you long-term price stability and predictable energy bills. These plans generally last between 12 and 36 months. The main drawback is that you’ll have to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel before the contract’s end date.
- Variable-rate plans: If you enroll in a variable-rate plan, your rate is linked to wholesale energy prices, which can change from month to month. Although this is a riskier setup, the upside is that you have the flexibility to cancel or switch providers at any time without a penalty fee.
- No-deposit plans: Many Garland energy companies require a deposit before you can start service. But if you choose a no-deposit plan, such as a prepaid plan, you can avoid this step. Instead, you’ll load money into your account to pay for your energy upfront. When your account gets low, you’ll receive a notification to top it up.
- 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.

Green energy plans
The Lone Star State is the country’s top producer of wind energy. It also ranks second for solar energy production. Because Texas focuses so heavily on green energy, locals can choose from a number of renewable energy plans.
Every plan sold in Texas includes at least a small amount of electricity from green sources. To find out how much renewable energy is in your plan, check its Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
Some Garland power companies even specialize in green energy. Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy, for example, exclusively sell 100% renewable plans. To find them, enter your ZIP code on our marketplace and filter the results for “green energy.”
