Oncor is Lancaster’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. Lancaster’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.
- Text “OUT” to 66267.
- 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 Lancaster electric plans
As you shop on a marketplace like Choose Texas Power, you’ll likely encounter several types of electric plans in Lancaster. Here’s a breakdown of the features you’ll find in each plan type:
- Fixed-rate plans: With a fixed-rate plan, you’ll have a stable electric rate through the duration of your plan, which ranges from 12 to 36 months on average. Your base rate will remain the same, but taxes and fees may change throughout the term. You may also be responsible for an early termination fee (ETF) if you need to change plans before your contract ends.
- Variable-rate plans: Variable-rate plans have rates that fluctuate with the wholesale price of electricity. You may find lower starting rates, but prices can increase during peak energy season, making budgeting less predictable. However, there is no contract, meaning you’re free to switch plans without incurring an ETF.
- No-deposit plans: No-deposit electricity plans in Lancaster avoid the deposit fee required by most plans. A popular no-deposit plan is a prepaid plan, where you 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.
Understanding Lancaster electric rates
Electric rates can vary by location, utility company, local taxes, and more. Because each utility company charges its own delivery fees, your rates may differ from those of someone in another town with the same energy plan.
