Electricity choice in McKinney
McKinney is the Collin County seat, with a historic downtown, older neighborhoods and many newer subdivisions on the growing edges. Oncor delivers power in most of the city, and you choose the retail provider. Older homes and newer ones can use energy very differently, so we look at your home and your usage when comparing. Homeowners moving to McKinney can also ask about term length, since a longer fixed-rate plan may suit a family planning to stay put.
ImportantSome outer areas around McKinney may be served by a different utility or a co-op. If you are unsure, we can confirm by ZIP before you enroll.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who delivers electricity in McKinney?
Most of McKinney is served by Oncor. Some outlying areas may differ, so enter your ZIP or call us to confirm.
Can I choose my electricity provider in McKinney?
Where your address is on a competitive delivery utility, yes. We check that first.
How do I start electric service in a new McKinney home?
Choose a retail provider and set a start date for your move-in or closing. We can help you compare plans and line up timing.
Who do I call if the power goes out in McKinney?
Your delivery utility, usually Oncor. Your retail provider handles your bill and plan.
Is switching plans free of interruption?
Yes. Your power continues over the same delivery system. Only the retailer and rate change.
What is a TDSP, and who is mine in McKinney, Texas?
A TDSP (Transmission and Distribution Service Provider) is the regulated utility that owns the poles, wires and meters, reads your meter and restores power after an outage. It does not sell you an electricity plan and its delivery charges are the same whichever retail provider you choose. Your TDSP depends on your service address — in some areas more than one utility serves the same city — so confirm it by ZIP code or call us for a free check.
What is a retail electric provider (REP)?
A retail electric provider (REP) is the licensed company that sells you the electricity itself: it sets the rate per kWh, the contract term and the fees on your plan, and it bills you. In the ERCOT market you can shop and switch between REPs freely, while your TDSP keeps delivering the power, so switching never means new wires, a new meter or a service interruption.
