Weslaco utility companies and energy providers

Texas deregulated its energy market in 2002. Since then, consumers have been able to choose their own energy providers. Your energy provider is the company that supplies the electricity that powers your home. Weslaco residents have access to popular providers like Reliant Energy, 4Change Energy, and TXU Energy, with rates starting at just 7.6 cents per kWh.

Regardless of what energy provider you choose to power your home, your local utility company will still deliver your electricity and maintain the electric infrastructure. You can’t choose your utility company — it’s based on where you live.

Oncor Electric Delivery is the utility company for Weslaco. Contact Oncor if you experience a power outage or have an interruption to your electricity.

Types of electricity plans in Weslaco

When you sign up for your Weslaco electricity plan, you’ll have several types of plans to choose from. Some of the most common types of energy plans include:

  • Fixed-rate plan: When you sign up for a fixed-rate energy plan, you enter into a contract for 12, 24, or 36 months. Your contract locks in your energy rate, meaning you don’t have to worry about your rate fluctuating from month to month. However, you’ll pay an early termination fee if you end your contract early.
  • Variable-rate plan: Variable-rate energy plans don’t require you to enter a contract, and they also don’t lock in your rate. As a result, your rate can fluctuate from month to month. It’s likely to be higher during months when electricity demand is high, but you’ll have a lower rate during months when electricity demand is low.
  • No-deposit plans: Many energy plans require you to pay a deposit if you have a lower credit score. Luckily, some providers offer no-deposit plans that allow you to skip both the credit check and the deposit. A prepaid energy plan is a type of no-deposit plan where you pay for your electricity upfront, ensuring that you only pay for what you use.
