Oncor Electric Delivery: Grand Prairie’s utility company
In deregulated areas, energy providers and utility companies perform different roles. You can choose your provider, which sells energy plans and handles billing. However, you cannot choose your utility company (it’s based on location). Your utility delivers electricity to homes, maintains the grid infrastructure, and responds to power outages. The utility company in Grand Prairie is Oncor Electric Delivery. You can contact Oncor by calling 888-313-4747, texting OUT to 66267, or using the online portal to report an outage.
Types of plans in Grand Prairie
You’ll find several different types of energy plans in Grand Prairie, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, and no-deposit options. Our guide to picking a plan can help you decide. You can also explore popular plan types below. If you have questions, call the number on your screen to speak to an energy expert.
Fixed-rate plans
If you select this type of plan, your electricity rate won’t change for the duration of your contract. Typically, contracts last between one and three years. Fixed-rate plans are ideal if you want more predictable energy costs, but keep in mind that they often include an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your plan ahead of its expiration.
Variable-rate plans
With a variable-rate plan, your electricity rate may change from month to month. As a result, you could pay more or less in a given month, depending on the wholesale price of energy. However, there are no ETFs, so you can cancel or switch providers at any time.
No-deposit plans
Before signing up with an energy provider, you’ll usually need to undergo a credit check. If your credit doesn’t meet their threshold, the company may require you to pay a deposit. To avoid this, you can sign up for a no-deposit plan, which doesn’t require you to pay a deposit. A popular type is a prepaid energy plan, which lets you pay for your electricity in advance and skip the upfront deposit.
Green electricity
The Lone Star State is a leader in green energy, coming in first for wind power generation and second for solar generation. Every Texas electricity plan includes at least a percentage of green energy. If you want to know more about a specific plan’s green energy content, check out its Electricity Facts Label (EFL).
Several providers offer 100% green plans, and some even specialize in fully green plans for residential users. Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy are two popular renewable providers in Grand Prairie.
