In deregulated cities, electricity is transmitted by utility companies. Utilities are also responsible for restoring power when there’s an outage. Your utility is determined by location, so you cannot choose it, unlike your electricity provider. In Denton, the utility is Oncor Electric Delivery.

On the other hand, you can choose the energy provider that best fits your needs. Texas electricity companies manage your energy use and billing. The Choose Energy marketplace features rates and plans from well-known Denton electricity providers, including Constellation Energy, Pulse Power, and TXU Energy.

Power outages in Denton

When power outages strike, you’ll want to contact your utility company — energy providers don’t restore outages. Here’s how to report an outage to Oncor Electric Delivery:

As you explore the Choose Energy marketplace, you’ll find several providers and three main types of plans. Here’s a breakdown of the different options you can choose.

• Fixed-rate plans. With a fixed-rate energy plan, you’ll pay a set price for each kWh of electricity you use. Usually, these plans come with a 12- to 36-month contract. Fixed-rate plans offer more predictability in terms of your monthly energy costs, but they may also include a penalty if you cancel early.
• Variable-rate plans. If you’d prefer a month-to-month energy plan, a variable-rate plan might be the best option for you. With a variable-rate plan, your rate changes each month depending on the current wholesale price of electricity. As a result, your monthly energy costs can fluctuate.
• Prepaid and no-deposit plans. If you have a low credit score, your provider will likely require you to pay a deposit before starting your service. Fortunately, no-deposit plans allow you to bypass the deposit. For example, with a prepaid plan, you can add credit to your energy account upfront and load more as you need it, similar to a prepaid cellular plan.
