Your power to choose electricity in Temple

Like most Texas cities, Temple has a deregulated energy market. As a result, the city’s residents and business owners have the power to choose their electricity company (instead of having to buy power from their utility). If you’re ready for a new energy plan in Temple, you can explore your options by entering your ZIP code on this page.

Choose Texas Power is not affiliated with Power to Choose, powertochoose.org, or the PUCT.

Average residential energy rate

Your electricity rate in Temple will depend on a handful of factors, including the time of year and the size of your home. Typically, energy plans are most expensive in summer and winter due to higher demand for electricity as people cool and heat their homes. However, when energy demand drops (usually in spring and fall), prices tend to dip as well.

Here are the current Temple electricity rates available on the Choose Texas Power marketplace based on your monthly kilowatt-hour (kWh) usage:

  • At the 500 kWh level, the average rate in Temple is 20.5 cents per kWh
  • At the 1,000 kWh level, the average rate in Temple is 12.4 cents per kWh

Oncor Electric Delivery is Temple’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. The utility company for Temple 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:

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 kilowatt-hour (kWh). Oncor Electric Delivery charges $4.23/month and 5.6032 cents/kWh.

Types of Temple electric plans

When you’re shopping for electricity on Choose Texas Power, you’ll notice several types of energy plans. Here are the main differences between the most popular options:

  • Fixed-rate plans: Typically 12–36 month contracts with a set price per kWh for the contract term. These plans offer predictable bills but may include an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel before the contract ends.
  • Variable-rate plans: No long-term contract; the rate can change month to month with market conditions. These plans give flexibility to switch providers without ETF but can be less predictable.
  • No-deposit plans: Some Temple providers ask for an upfront deposit depending on credit. To avoid a deposit, shop for a no-deposit plan or a prepaid plan, which are paid in advance and topped up as needed.
  • Time-of-use (TOU) plans: Rates vary by time of day. Off-peak hours (for example, late at night) usually have lower rates while peak hours (mornings and afternoons) cost more. TOU plans work best if you can shift major usage to off-peak windows.

Understanding Temple electric rates

In Texas, electricity rates are highly dependent on where you live because utility companies charge different transmission and delivery fees across the state. That’s why it’s important to shop using your ZIP code so you see accurate pricing for your area.
