Oncor Electric Delivery: Round Rock’s utility company

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 Round Rock 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 Round Rock electric plans

As you search for electricity plans in Round Rock, you may come across a few different plan types. Some of the most common options include:

• Fixed-rate plans: If you choose a fixed-rate plan, your rate will remain the same for the duration of your contract (which typically lasts 12 to 36 months). Fixed-rate plans are ideal if you prefer more predictable energy bills, but they come with early termination fees (ETFs) if you cancel or switch providers before your contract’s end date.
• Variable-rate plans: With a variable-rate plan, you buy electricity on a month-to-month basis (without a long-term contract). Instead of a fixed rate, your rate can change each month, depending on the wholesale price of electricity. On the plus side, there are no ETFs, so you can cancel for free at any time.
• No-deposit plans: Round Rock electricity providers will often ask for an upfront deposit if your credit score doesn’t meet certain standards. However, you can avoid paying a deposit by signing up for a no-deposit plan. Prepaid plans, for example, let you pay for your electricity upfront and top up your account when the balance runs low.
• 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 Round Rock electric rates

In Texas, every utility company charges its own fees for delivering energy. These fees vary by region, which is a big reason why Texas electricity rates vary depending on your location within the Lone Star State. When you’re shopping for a new plan, it’s important to search specifically for rates in your area.
