Oncor Electric Delivery is McKinney’s utility
While you can choose your electric company in McKinney, 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 utility company, not your McKinney electric 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 McKinney electric plans
Electric companies in McKinney offer a variety of competitive plans to help you choose the best option for your home or business. Here’s a basic overview of each plan type on our marketplace:
- Fixed-rate plans: This plan type secures a set electricity rate for the length of your contract, usually lasting 12-36 months. You’re protected from rate spikes, 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 has no contract, but your rate changes monthly with wholesale energy costs. This can mean higher prices in peak winter and summer months, or lower rates when demand drops.
- 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.
Understanding McKinney electric rates
Electricity rates in Texas depend on several factors, including your location and utility company. Even if you have the same plan as someone in another area, your monthly bill may differ because of varying delivery fees and local taxes. To find the most accurate McKinney electricity rates, enter your ZIP code before comparing plans.
Commercial energy
Businesses can also benefit from deregulation to help reduce operating costs. Choose Texas Power offers two options for setting up electricity for your business.

Green energy plans
You can sign up for 100% green energy plans in Texas, but that does not necessarily mean renewable energy is flowing to your home. The grid mixes power from all sources together, including wind and solar energy. However, some providers offer 100% green plans to offset your usage with renewable energy certificates (RECs). These plans are a good fit for those who want to support renewable energy development without making major changes. Enter your ZIP code and select the “green energy” filter to shop now.
