In deregulated markets, utility companies and electricity providers have distinct roles. Your utility company, determined by your location, is responsible for distributing electricity, maintaining the electrical infrastructure, and restoring power during outages. In Tyler, the utility company is Oncor Electric Delivery.

Electricity providers purchase electricity and offer energy plans to customers. They handle billing, account management, and customer service. Tyler residents can select from a variety of reputable energy companies such as Express Energy, TriEagle Energy, and TXU Energy, among others.

Power outages in Tyler

If you experience a power outage in Tyler, do not contact your electricity provider. Instead, notify Oncor Electric Delivery, your local utility company. You can report an outage to Oncor through various methods, including:

• Calling 1-888-313-4747
• Sending a text with “OUT” to 66267
• Logging the outage in the online outage portal

There are various energy plan types available in Tyler to cater to different preferences and needs. Here are some of the most common options:

• Fixed-rate plans: Under a fixed-rate plan, you commit to a contract typically lasting between 12 to 36 months. Throughout this period, your electricity rate remains constant, shielding you from fluctuations in demand or wholesale energy prices. However, early termination fees (ETFs) may apply if you decide to end your contract before its expiration.
• Variable-rate plans: In a variable-rate plan, there is no fixed rate. Your monthly bill is determined by the current market price of electricity, leading to potential spikes during high-demand periods or reductions when demand is low. These plans do not involve contracts or ETFs, allowing you to switch providers without penalties whenever you wish.
• Prepaid and no-deposit plans: If your credit score is not high enough, some Tyler electricity providers might request a deposit before initiating service. By opting for a no-deposit plan, such as a prepaid plan, you can avoid making a deposit. With a prepaid plan, you pay in advance for your energy consumption and reload your account as needed.
