Your power to choose electricity in DeSoto

Energy deregulation gives consumers the freedom to pick their electricity company and plan from a pool of options. In regulated areas, residents are required to purchase their electricity from the local utility company. Many residents and businesses in DeSoto, Texas, who are unfamiliar with a deregulated energy market may find it overwhelming to choose the right plan. The Choose Energy marketplace makes it easy to shop and compare your options in one place.

DeSoto utility companies and energy providers

In deregulated markets, utility companies and electricity suppliers provide different services. Utility companies transmit and distribute power and maintain the power lines and infrastructure. The utility also restores power in the event of an outage. The utility in the DeSoto area is Oncor Electric Delivery.

That leaves Texas energy providers with the role of selling power plans to consumers. A few of the most well-known providers in the DeSoto area are 4Change Energy, Constellation Energy, and TXU Energy. Review our energy buying guide to learn more about finding the right energy plan for you. Enter your ZIP code to compare today’s best DeSoto electricity rates.

Power outages in DeSoto

Regardless of your chosen electricity provider, your Desoto utility will manage any power outages in your area. Your utility is based on your location, so you can’t choose which company serves your home. If your power goes out, you should contact your utility, not your provider. You can reach Oncor Electric during an outage in any of the following ways:

Types of electricity plans in DeSoto

When comparing DeSoto electricity rates using the Choose Energy marketplace, you may find a few different types of energy plans:

  • Fixed-rate plans: Fixed-rate plans allow you to secure your rate before you sign the contract, which typically lasts between 12 and 36 months. Your energy rates won’t fluctuate, and you’ll pay a fixed price for the duration of your contract. However, if you cancel your plan early, you’ll likely have to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
  • Variable-rate plans: If you choose a variable-rate plan, your rates could change monthly based on the wholesale price of energy. These plans offer you the chance to save during months when energy rates are lower, though your rates will rise during months of higher market prices. Variable-rate plans do not lock you into a contract, so you can switch to another plan anytime.
  • No-deposit plans: Many companies will require a deposit before beginning service. However, no-deposit plans can help you avoid this payment before your contract begins. Prepaid plans, a popular no-deposit option, allow you to pay for your energy in advance and top up your account when your balance runs low.
