Oncor Electric Delivery is The Colony’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 electricity during power outages. The utility company for The Colony 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) charge for delivering electricity. This charge 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 The Colony electric plans

As a resident of The Colony, you can choose from several types of electricity plans, including:

  • Fixed-rate plans: You’ll lock in your rate for your entire contract. Typically, fixed-rate plans range from 12 to 36 months. However, make sure you sign up for the right plan, or you’ll pay an early termination fee (ETF) for cancelling before the contract is over.
  • Variable-rate plans: This type of plan has a rate that fluctuates with wholesale energy prices. As a result, your price can drop when overall demand is low — but it can also rise when demand increases, making it a risky investment. On the plus side, variable-rate plans don’t come with contracts, so you won’t pay an ETF for cancelling your plan early.
  • No-deposit plans: Most electricity providers in The Colony require a deposit if your credit score isn’t up to their standards. To avoid this, you can pick a no-deposit plan (such as a prepaid plan) to bypass the credit check and deposit, no matter what your credit score is.
  • 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 The Colony electric rates
