Compare Round Rock electricity rates

 Just 19 miles northeast of Austin, Round Rock boasts a population just under 140,000. Known as the “Sports Capital of Texas”, Round Rock hosts large youth and recreational sports tournaments that attract people from all over the world.

 As a result of the state of Texas deregulating the energy market, residents and business owners can shop for cheap Round Rock electricity rates. Deregulation means that consumers have the power to choose from several retail energy providers (REPs) to select the best electric company near me. 

Round Rock electric companies

 There are many Round Rock energy companies to choose from. Among these are TXU Energy, Direct Energy, and Frontier Utilities. When comparing Round Rock electricity providers, you should consider such factors as their rates, length of contract, types of plans offered, and additional services, such as mobile payment.

 Unlike REPs, there is only one utility company serving each area. This is the company responsible for delivering your electricity and maintaining the power lines. Round Rock falls within Oncor Electric Delivery’s service area. In case of a power outage, contact Oncor directly at 888-313-4747 or online.

Types of plans in Round Rock

• Fixed rates – As the name suggests, the rates you’re charged for your electric usage do not change for the duration of your contract. While you do have energy choice, some energy providers charge an early termination fee if you want to switch plans in the middle of your contract.
• Variable rates – The amount you pay for your electric usage every month can change based on market conditions. Most variable-rate plans are month-to-month, so there’s no fee if you decide to switch plans.
• No deposit – Most energy providers use your credit score to decide whether they will charge a deposit before starting service. Electric companies in Round Rock have pre-paid no-deposit plans in which you pay for electricity at the start of each month. If usage approaches the prepaid amount, you must replenish the account. Any balance carries over to the next month.  

Round Rock electric rates in my area

Residents across the state are not charged the same rates for their electricity. Much of it depends on where you live and which REPs provide service in your area. Additionally, residents in some areas, like Austin and San Antonio, do not have the power to choose their electricity provider, which may lead to higher rates.

 The utility company that serves your area also plays a role in the amount of your electric bill. They determine the charges for transmission and delivery, so people in one utility’s service area may pay more or less than people that have a different utility. Other factors include local taxes and fees.
