Dallas Electricity Rates 2026

Dallas residents shop for electricity in one of Texas's most competitive retail energy markets. Oncor Electric Delivery — serving roughly 2.7 million customers across the DFW metroplex — owns and maintains the poles and wires, while more than 60 Retail Electric Providers (REPs) compete for your business. That separation of delivery from supply is the foundation of Texas deregulation under Senate Bill 7, passed in 1999.

Average residential electricity rates in Dallas typically range from 9 to 14 cents per kWh depending on contract length, plan type, and seasonal demand. Summer months drive peak pricing as temperatures regularly exceed 100°F and air conditioning loads surge. Locking in a fixed-rate 12- or 24-month contract before June can protect households from mid-summer price spikes on the spot market.

Top providers available in Dallas ZIP codes include TXU Energy, Reliant Energy, Gexa Energy, Green Mountain Energy, Pulse Power, 4Change Energy, Champion Energy, and Rhythm Energy.

Dallas Energy Tip: Always compare the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) — a standardized disclosure required by the Public Utility Commission of Texas — before signing any contract. The EFL shows your true average price at 500, 1,000, and 2,000 kWh usage levels.
