Oncor Electric Delivery is McKinney’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 McKinney is Oncor Electric Delivery. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your McKinney utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact Oncor:

Types of McKinney electric plans

Electricity companies in McKinney offer a variety of competitive plans to help you choose the best option for your home or business. Here is a basic overview of each plan type you should know about.

  • Fixed-rate plans: This plan type secures a set electricity rate for the length of your contract, which usually lasts 12–36 months. You’ll be protected from spikes in the energy market, which is ideal if you want a predictable monthly bill. However, your provider may charge an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your service before your contract ends.
  • Variable-rate plans: A variable-rate plan does not come with a contract, but the rate you pay changes monthly depending on wholesale energy costs. With this plan, you could pay much more when demand is high in the summer or winter months. However, you could also save money when demand is low. And because there’s no contract, you can switch energy plans at any time with no ETF — a good option if you’re in a short-term crunch.
  • No-deposit plans: Many companies require deposits before beginning service, but you can avoid this upfront payment with a no-deposit plan. One common option is a prepaid plan, which allows you to pay for your usage beforehand and top up your account when the balance runs low.
  • Indexed plans: An indexed plan is similar to a variable-rate plan because your rate can change from month to month. While variable-rate plans charge based on the wholesale cost of energy, indexed plans calculate your rate using a formula based on a commodity index. These plans are less common than other types, and the rate changes more frequently.
  • 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.
  • Renewable energy plans: Every Texas energy plan includes some green energy in the mix, but some providers offer plans with 100% renewable electricity. Enter your ZIP code and filter for green energy plans to compare your current options.
