How to Compare Electric Rates in Dallas
Across Texas, electricity shoppers soon face one reality: You can’t always trust a deal or an energy plan’s terms. So you don’t end up with a rate that’s higher than expected, you vet electricity providers in Dallas with a fine-tooth comb. Still, it’s time-consuming and often confusing.
The biggest issue that many encounter? Advertised rates at 1000 or 2000 kWh contain a significant amount of fine print. However, many fail to realize that the rate you see only corresponds to exactly that amount of power. And if you go beyond this figure or conserve a little one month, you pay a different price, usually higher and potentially out of your budget.
We created ElectricityPlans to provide clear, honest, gimmick-free comparisons between rates and plans. Here are some of the tools to help you compare electricity rates in Dallas to find the cheapest electricity plans.
- You can shop based on your usage, so you know exactly what you will pay per kWh, and the estimated monthly bill. Our Electricity Bill Calculator feature does all the math for you!
- Read one-line summaries of the fine print on each plan. We highlight key items for you.
- You can shop by type of plan. So if you want a tiered rate or bill credit plan, you can find those. But you can also find true fixed rate plans, which is what we recommend for most homes.
- You can compare plans side-by-side with the Compare Plans tool, then send the results to yourself via email if you’re not ready to buy yet.

TIP: Moving within the Dallas area? If you currently have Oncor as your utility company, you can take your electricity plan with you as a transfer of service. Or if rates have fallen since you last shopped, you can cancel your current service with no early termination fee.
Switch Electricity Companies in Dallas
When your contract is about to expire, your electricity company will contact you with a new renewal offer.
Don’t take the renewal offer. At least, don’t just click the renewal link without shopping first.
We recommend that you compare Dallas electricity rates every time your contract expires. Because most electricity providers offer the best rates to new customers.
Here are tips to help you find the best rate when you switch electricity companies:
- Shop based on your usage. Don’t look at the advertised rate (usually at 1000 or 2000) and think that’s what you’ll pay. Shop with your usage to see your estimated bill amount and rate.
- Shop ahead of time. Don’t wait until your contact has expired before you shop. In fact, if your contract expires in the summer months, we recommend you start shopping 60 days ahead of time. Just remember to pick a start date equal to your expiration date.
- Select a basic fixed rate plan. With all the different types of plans offering bill credits, tiered rates and free power, it’s easy to get confused. Based on the thousands of bills we’ve reviewed, basic fixed rate plans are the best option for almost everyone.
- Evaluate all parts of the electricity plan. Most only look at the rate. But you should also consider the term, termination fee and type of plan.
