Oncor Electric Delivery: Hutto’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 Hutto 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 5.6032 cents/kWh.

Types of Hutto electric plans

You’ll also find several kinds of electricity plans on Choose Texas Power’s marketplace. The most common types are:

• Fixed-rate plans: You’ll have a stable monthly rate and a set contract (which typically lasts between 12 and 36 months). During that time, you’ll be protected from rate hikes from the overall energy market. However, you’ll likely need to pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel or switch providers before your term ends. These plans are ideal for homeowners looking for long-term stability and predictability.
• Variable-rate plans: Your rate will fluctuate depending on the electricity market. This means you’ll pay a lower rate when demand and prices are down — but your rate can go up when the market does. On the plus side, you’ll have the flexibility to change providers or cancel your plan at any time — penalty-free. If you’re a renter or you move frequently, you might consider a variable-rate plan.
• No-deposit plans: Unless you have a strong credit score, most Hutto electricity providers will ask for a deposit before beginning service. To get around this, you can sign up for a no-deposit plan, which doesn’t involve a credit check or deposit. A prepaid plan, for example, is a type of no-deposit plan that lets you pay for your energy in advance and add money to 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.

Understanding Hutto electric rates

Electricity pricing varies throughout Texas due to different utility transmission fees and local taxes. So while you might pay a certain rate in Hutto, your friend in Houston could pay an entirely different rate, even if you have the same plan. For this reason, it’s important to factor in your ZIP code when shopping for plans.
