Keep in mind that rates depend on several factors, including the season, your household size, and your location. For example, summer and winter are usually the most expensive times of year to sign up for a new electricity plan. During these seasons, there’s more demand for electricity, which often drives up rates. On the other hand, it’s typically cheaper to buy a plan in spring or fall, when there’s less demand for power.

Oncor Electric Delivery is Nacogdoches’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. Dallas’ 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.
• Visit 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 Nacogdoches electric plans

Our marketplace features a variety of electricity plans in Nacogdoches, including fixed-rate and variable-rate options. Here’s a quick overview of some of the most popular types of plans:

• Fixed-rate plans: When you sign up for a fixed-rate plan, you’ll lock in your electricity rate for a set period (usually 12 to 36 months). Since your rate is fixed, it’s easier to budget for your monthly electric bills. However, if you cancel before your contract is up, your provider may charge an early termination fee (ETF).
• Variable-rate plans: If you choose a variable-rate plan, you won’t get a stable rate or contract. Instead, your rate is tied to wholesale energy costs, so it may change from month to month. Your bills won’t be as predictable as they would with a fixed-rate plan, but on the plus side, there are no ETFs if you cancel or switch providers. Explore our fixed- vs. variable-rate guide to learn more.
• No-deposit plans: Most Nacogdoches electricity providers will check your credit history before starting service. If your score falls below their requirements, you’ll need to pay a deposit on your plan. However, if you sign up for a no-deposit plan, you can avoid the credit check and deposit. For example, Payless Power offers prepaid plans (a common type of no-deposit plan) that let you pay for electricity before you use it and top up 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.

Green energy plans

Texas has invested heavily in renewable energy — and today, it’s the country’s leading producer of electricity from wind. It also ranks within the top five states for solar energy generation. Because of this, electric consumers in Nacogdoches (and the rest of Texas) can choose from many different renewable energy plans.

When you buy an electricity plan in Texas, it will always contain at least a small portion of renewable energy. Some plans have a small percentage, while others are 100% green. You’ll find your plan’s renewable energy content on its Electricity Facts Label (EFL).

If going green is important to you, consider signing up for one of the many 100% renewable electricity plans in Nacogdoches. These plans are available from several providers on our marketplace, but Gexa Energy, Green Mountain Energy, and Rhythm Energy are some of the most popular.
