Electricity choice for Plano homes
Plano is a well-established suburb north of Dallas with a lot of single-family homes and a steady flow of people relocating for jobs in the area. Oncor delivers electricity in the city and you choose the retail provider. Many relocating households are new to Texas, where the person who sells your electricity is different from the company that owns the lines, and that surprises people. We explain the difference, then compare plans by usage, term and fees so your first Texas bill is not a shock.
ImportantNew to Texas? Your electricity bill has two parts: your retail provider supplies the energy and Oncor charges for delivery. Both show up in what you pay.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who provides electricity delivery in Plano?
Oncor Electric Delivery serves Plano. It owns the lines and meter and restores outages. Enter your ZIP or call us to confirm.
I am moving to Plano from another state. How does Texas electricity work?
Texas has retail choice in most areas. You pick a licensed retail electric provider for the energy, and the delivery utility (Oncor in Plano) stays the same regardless of your choice.
Can I set up electricity before I move in?
Yes. You can choose a plan and set a start date for your move-in day. We can help you line that up.
Why are there two companies on my electric bill?
Your retailer charges for the energy you use, and Oncor charges to deliver it. Comparing plans changes the retailer portion.
What is a TDSP, and who is mine in Plano, 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.
