Energy providers and utility companies in Arlington

Arlington residents can choose their energy company thanks to deregulation in Texas. In deregulated areas, the energy provider and utility company are responsible for different things. 

• Your energy provider is the company that generates or buys energy and sells it to customers. In Arlington, there are several excellent energy providers, including TXU Energy, Gexa Energy, Reliant Energy, Payless Power, and many more.

• The utility company, on the other hand, transports electricity from the provider to your home.

You cannot choose your utility company because it is based on your location. In Arlington, the utility company is Oncor Electric Delivery.

How weather affects Arlington electricity rates

Arlington electricity rates fluctuate throughout the year. In the summer, when temperatures reach 95 degrees, energy demand tends to spike, causing the wholesale cost of energy to increase. However, during times of the year when temperatures are more moderate, demand can decrease and lead to lower energy rates.

Energy demand in Arlington is normally lower during the fall and spring months, which leads to lower energy rates. Shopping for an energy plan when demand is low can allow you to secure a cheaper energy rate with a fixed-rate plan. Enter your ZIP code to check today’s current rates in your area.

Fixed-rate plans in Arlington

You gain the predictability of paying the same energy rate through your term — typically ranging from one to three years. And it makes budgeting much easier since you don’t have to worry about price spikes due to inclement weather or market changes. 

Variable-rate plans in Arlington

A variable-rate energy plan doesn’t require a contract, nor does it allow you to secure a steady energy rate. Instead, your monthly rate is based on the wholesale cost of energy and can change throughout the year. Your energy bill may be higher during some months but lower during others. However, you can switch at any time without penalty because there is no contract.

No-deposit plans

Energy providers often set a credit threshold. If your credit score is lower than this threshold, you may need to pay a deposit before the provider will begin your service. However, some providers offer no-deposit options. Prepaid energy plans are the most common type of no-deposit plan and allow you to pay for your energy ahead of time. In Arlington, Payless Power offers several no-deposit, prepaid energy plans.
