How to choose the best electricity plan
Don't choose a plan based only on the headline cents-per-kWh rate. The best plan depends on your household's actual electricity usage and the complete pricing structure.
Compare My ZIP Code
500 kWh
Lower-usage household
Apartments and smaller homes should watch for minimum usage fees and plans where advertised credits apply only at higher usage levels.
1,000 kWh
Common comparison level
Many Texas electricity shopping tools use 1,000 kWh as a standard comparison point. Your actual bill can be substantially different.
2,000 kWh
Higher-usage Arlington homes
Larger homes and heavy air-conditioning use can push summer electricity consumption significantly above 1,000 kWh.
Summer
Watch your electricity usage
North Texas heat can substantially increase air-conditioning demand, making it especially important to compare plans at realistic summer usage levels.
Understand your bill
What determines your Arlington electric bill?
Your retail electricity provider is only one part of the final bill.
Energy charge
The electricity supply portion of your plan, commonly expressed as a cents-per-kWh rate.
Oncor delivery
Oncor Electric Delivery operates the transmission and distribution infrastructure serving much of Arlington. Delivery charges are separate from choosing your retail electricity provider.
Bill credits
Some plans use credits at specific usage levels. A very low advertised rate may not remain the cheapest option when your usage changes.
Before you switch
Five things to check before choosing a plan
Compare the expected total cost instead of only the advertised energy charge.
Check whether the plan is 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24 or another contract term.
Important if you may move or switch before the contract expires.
Determine exactly what usage is required to receive advertised credits.
Review the delivery component and other regulated charges included in the plan's effective cost.

Arlington electricity FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Important things to know before switching electricity providers in Arlington, Texas.
What are the best electricity providers in Arlington?
The best provider depends on your ZIP code,
electricity usage, preferred contract length and
the plan's complete effective rate. Arlington
shoppers may find plans from providers including
APG&E, Rhythm Energy, 4Change Energy, Frontier
Utilities, Gexa Energy, Cirro, Discount Power,
Atlantex Power, Express Energy, Octopus Energy,
TXU Energy, Constellation, Reliant and Direct
Energy.
What are electricity rates in Arlington right now?
Arlington electricity rates change frequently.
August 2026 market snapshots show some advertised
plans starting around 6.6 to 6.7 cents per kWh,
while basic fixed-rate plans and other offers can
be considerably higher. Your actual rate depends
on ZIP code, usage, provider, plan and contract
terms.
Who delivers electricity in Arlington?
Much of Arlington is served by Oncor Electric
Delivery. Oncor operates the regulated transmission
and distribution infrastructure, while customers
in the deregulated market generally select their
retail electricity provider separately.
Is a low cents-per-kWh rate always the cheapest?
No. Electricity plans can include bill credits,
minimum usage charges, base charges and other
pricing conditions. Compare the estimated total
bill at your actual usage and review the
Electricity Facts Label before enrolling.
Should I choose a fixed-rate electricity plan?
Fixed-rate plans can provide more predictable
energy pricing during the contract period.
However, delivery charges, cancellation fees and
other plan terms should also be considered.
Why is my Arlington electricity bill higher in summer?
Arlington and the broader Dallas-Fort Worth area
experience very hot summers. Increased air
conditioning use can significantly raise
electricity consumption and therefore increase
your monthly bill.
How do I find the cheapest electricity plan for my home?
Enter your ZIP code, estimate your typical monthly
electricity usage and compare the complete plan
cost. Review the energy rate, delivery charges,
bill credits, minimum usage fees, contract length
and early termination fee.
Is Arlington, Texas deregulated for electricity?
Arlington is generally part of the competitive
Texas retail electricity market, with Oncor
providing delivery service across much of the
city. Exact provider choice and available plans
depend on your address and utility service area.
