Round Rock Electricity Rates and Companies

Our recommended Round Rock energy plans

The best electricity plans in Round Rock for most residents are usually fixed-rate plans, which keep your energy rate stable throughout your contract. Many popular plans also include bill credits that can significantly lower your effective electricity rate when your monthly usage falls within the plan’s intended range. Understanding your typical electricity usage can help you identify plans that offer the strongest savings opportunities.

Below are a few popular, well-trusted Round Rock electricity plans to consider:

Best overall: Rhythm Max Saver 12

Rhythm Max Saver 12 is a strong option for many Round Rock residents. The plan offers a $125 bill credit each month when usage reaches 1,000 kWh or more, creating an opportunity for significant savings. For households that regularly use around 1,000 kWh or more, the credit can help lower overall electricity costs and deliver a competitive effective rate. Rhythm’s renewable energy offerings and customer-friendly experience further enhance the plan’s appeal for many shoppers.

Best for high usage: Frontier Saver Deluxe 12

Frontier Saver Deluxe 12 may be a good fit for higher-usage households. The plan offers a $100 usage credit when you use at least 1,500 kWh in a billing cycle. While some high-usage plans require 2,000 kWh or more to earn the bill credit, many higher-usage residents do not consistently meet that threshold every month. A 1,500 kWh requirement may provide a more realistic opportunity to qualify for savings.

Best for low usage: APG&E Simple Choice 12

APG&E Simple Choice 12 is a solid choice for customers with lower or less predictable electricity usage. Many low-usage residents see the most month-to-month variation in their electricity use, which can make bill-credit plans risky. Because this plan does not rely on usage minimums or bill credits, your bill is less likely to jump simply because you missed a specific usage threshold.

The best electricity plan for you will depend on your preferred contract length, typical monthly kWh usage and whether you can consistently qualify for any bill credits. We recommend using our rate finder tool to compare plans and match with the best option for your home.

Your power to choose electricity in Round Rock

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 5.6183 ¢/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.

Commercial energy

Deregulation also applies to commercial properties. If you’re a business owner in Round Rock, you’re free to shop around to find cheap rates for your company. Choose Texas Power offers two options for setting up electricity for your business: give us a call to speak with a dedicated business energy consultant or visit PowerHQ.com to browse multiple commercial energy plans.

Green energy plans

Texas is a powerhouse in renewable energy, generating the most wind power out of any state. It also produces the second-highest amount of solar energy in the country. If you’re interested in new ways to go green, you can sign up for one of the many renewable energy plans available in Round Rock.

All electricity plans sold in Texas have at least some renewable energy in the mix. Some plans — including those from Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy — are even 100% green. To find your plan’s exact renewable content percentage, check the Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
