In Irving, electricity rates are structured based on usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh). For residential consumers, the average purchase price at each usage level is as follows:
Irving electricity rates fluctuate throughout the year, so it’s important to lock in your low rate when you have the chance. The SaveOnEnergy marketplace can help you find the cheapest rates and sign up for your plan in just a few minutes. Here’s how it works:
Providers continually offer new rates. They adjust prices to match current energy costs, resulting in frequently changing Irving electricity rates. You can lock in a cheap rate by signing up for a new plan when energy demand — and therefore rates — are lower. Learn more about how to find cheap energy prices during the year in the chart below.
Since deregulation began in 2002, the roles of utilities andenergy providersare different than they used to be. Before deregulation, the utility handled transmission, distribution and sales. Now, the utility service handles transmission, distribution, and maintenance of the electrical infrastructure to deliver power. Irving electricity providers handle sales, payment, and account management.
Utility companies have the responsibility of maintaining the local electric infrastructure, including responding to power outages and downed power lines. If you experience any interruptions to your power in Irving, contact Oncor Electric Delivery:
Electric rates vary based on service address because of variations in utility transmission rates. The rate you pay in Irving could be different from what someone pays in another part of Texas, even for the same plan. As a result, it’s important to shop for electricity rates near you.

Like most of Texas, Irving can experience some extreme temperatures. It’s not unusual for temps to be in the 90s during the summer and as low as the 30s during the winter. These extremes can cause Irving electric rates to spike as demand increases.
One of the best ways to save money on electricity is to shop when rates are low, typically during spring and fall. You can save money by locking in a fixed-rate plan during that time. Keep in mind, however, that you may pay an early termination fee (ETF) if you cancel your current plan before the contract ends.
When you sign up for your Irving electricity plan, you’ll have plenty of types of plans to choose from. Our guide to picking an energy plan can help you choose the right plan for your needs. If you need help deciding, call the number on your screen to speak with one of our energy experts for more information.
When you sign up for a fixed-rate energy plan, you’re locked into a contract for a period of 12 to 36 months. During that time, your energy rate won’t fluctuate. You won’t be as vulnerable to price hikes, and it’s easier to budget for electricity. However, if you end your plan early, you’ll incur an ETF.
A variable-rate energy plan is a month-to-month plan that doesn’t require a contract. Instead of having a locked-in rate, your rate each month is based on the current energy market. During some months, rates will go down, and you’ll save money. But in other months, energy rates will spike and raise your electricity bill.
When you start a new electricity plan, your provider typically runs a credit check to determine if you need to pay a security deposit. Electricity companies require a certain credit score to waive this fee, but some offer no-deposit electricity plans that allow you to skip the credit check and deposit entirely. With many of these plans, you simply pay for your electricity upfront each month.
