Oncor Electric Delivery: Rowlett’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 Rowlett 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 Rowlett electric plans

When you’re comparing electricity plans in Rowlett, you’ll come across a few different options. Here are the most common plan types:

• Fixed-rate plan: Under a fixed-rate contract, which typically lasts between 12 and 36 months, you’re guaranteed to pay the same price per kWh every month. This plan type is ideal if you prefer price stability, but it does come with an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel before the contract ends.
• Variable-rate plan: With a variable-rate plan, your price per kWh fluctuates with the energy market. The tradeoff for this unpredictability is that you’re free to cancel anytime without paying a penalty.
• No-deposit plan: Most energy companies in Rowlett will require a credit check and a deposit if you don’t meet their score threshold. You can avoid both with a no-deposit plan. A prepaid electricity plan is a common example, where you can skip the deposit and pay for your electricity in advance. Your provider will notify you when you need to top up your account.
• 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.
