Delivery charges in Carrollton

Oncor Electric Delivery serves Dallas–Fort Worth, North, Central and parts of West and East Texas. Its delivery charge is about $4.23 a month plus 6.01¢ per kWh, roughly $64.36 at 1,000 kWh. That's about 40% of a bill at the Texas average rate, and it's identical whichever provider you pick.

Of Texas's five main delivery utilities, Oncor is the second most expensive at 1,000 kWh. A home in Carrollton pays about $9.65 more a month in delivery than the same home in the CenterPoint area.

Providers can't mark delivery up, and it changes on March 1 and September 1 each year when the Public Utility Commission of Texas approves new rates.

Energy use in North Texas

Summer heat drives the biggest bills, but winter cold snaps can spike usage too, especially in homes with electric heat. A fixed-rate plan protects you from both seasonal peaks.

Power outages in Carrollton

Your provider doesn't fix outages; Oncor does. Report outages to Oncor at 1-888-313-4747, whichever company sends your bill.

How to choose a plan in Carrollton

Compare at your real usage. Plans are advertised at 1,000 kWh, but if your summer bills show 2,000 kWh, that's the price that matters.

Be careful with bill credits. A plan that's cheap at exactly 1,000 kWh can be expensive at 999 kWh or 1,500 kWh. Use the calculator above to check.

Prefer fixed rates. Variable plans can jump during heat waves and freezes. Check the contract length and early termination fee too.

Mark your contract end date. When a fixed plan ends, most providers move you to a pricier month-to-month rate.

Find your ESI ID

Your ESI ID identifies your meter. In Oncor territory it's 17 digits and starts with 1044372 or 1017699. It's printed on your bill near your service address.

Decode your ESI ID or check your current bill against the Texas average.
