Irving Electricity Rates and Companies

Average residential energy rate

In Irving, electricity plans often have tiered pricing structures, so your monthly rate depends on how much power you use. Here are the latest rates in Irving based on monthly kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage, according to data from Choose Texas Power’s marketplace:

• At the 500 kWh level, the average rate in Irving is 20.1 cents per kWh
• At the 1,000 kWh level, the average rate in Irving is 12.7 cents per kWh
• At the 2,000 kWh level, the average rate in Irving is 15.9 cents per kWh

Rates also fluctuate based on several other factors, including the season, energy demand, and your household occupancy. For example, in summer and winter, there’s greater demand for electricity because people run their HVAC systems more frequently. As a result, electricity prices usually spike during these seasons but generally dip in spring and fall, due to the milder temperatures.

Oncor Electric Delivery is Irving’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. The utility company for Irving 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 Irving electric plans

You might come across a few different types of electricity plans on Choose Texas Power. Here are the most common options:

• Fixed-rate plans: These plans lock in your electricity rate for the full contract term, giving you more predictable energy bills. Most fixed-rate plans last between 12 and 36 months, but some providers offer shorter or longer options. Be aware: if you cancel or switch electricity companies while you’re under contract, you may have to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
• Variable-rate plans: With a variable-rate plan, you won’t have a fixed rate or contract. Instead, you’ll have a month-to-month plan with a rate that fluctuates with the wholesale cost of electricity. While there’s less price stability with variable-rate plans, you have the flexibility to cancel whenever you’d like — without paying an ETF.
• No-deposit plans: Before activating your service, most Irving electricity providers will check your credit. If your score doesn’t meet certain standards, you’ll generally have to pay a deposit. However, you can avoid these steps by signing up for a no-deposit plan. Not every provider sells these plans, but in Irving you can find them from Payless Power. Its prepaid plans let you pay for your electricity in advance (and don’t require a credit check or deposit).
• 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

Texas is a powerhouse when it comes to renewable energy production in the U.S. Not only does the Lone Star State lead the nation in wind energy generation, but it also ranks second for solar energy. Electricity consumers in Irving can benefit from Texas’ investment in green energy by signing up for a renewable energy plan.

By default, all Texas electricity plans contain at least some renewable energy (and some are fully green). You can check your plan’s renewable content percentage on its Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
