Tips for finding cheap electricity rates in Dallas
The energy market in Dallas is deregulated, meaning residents and businesses can choose their energy provider from a pool of available candidates. In regulated markets, customers can only purchase electricity from a single utility. Deregulation opens the market up to competition, often leading to lower electricity rates and better plan options.
To find the best energy plan and rate in Dallas, consider these shopping tips:
- Compare rates in your area. Electricity rates vary by location because of local taxes and utility fees. You can use the Texas Electric Rates marketplace to compare Dallas electricity rates and plans for free.
- Consider a fixed-rate plan. Fixed-rate plans secure the price you pay for electricity for a set term length, protecting you from rate spikes due to changes in the wholesale cost of power.
- Read the Electricity Facts Label (EFL). Each plan has its own EFL, which includes important details about the price per kWh, additional fees, contract length, and more. Before signing up for a plan, thoroughly review the EFL to ensure you’re aware of contract terms.

Dallas electricity providers
On the Texas Electric Rates marketplace, customers can currently find the cheapest Dallas electricity rates with 4Change Energy and Express Energy. To compare the best rates available today, enter your ZIP code on this page. We’ll show you a list of current electricity rates from the best Dallas energy providers in your area.
Electricity rate overview
Understanding your electricity bill is important because it includes details about your energy usage, charges, and more. Before signing up for a new energy plan, we recommend reviewing the last year of energy bills you received to understand your typical usage level. If you want help from an energy expert, you can call the number on this page to discuss the details of your current bills and find a new plan to match your electricity needs.
Some of the most important energy bill details include:
- Energy usage: Your usage is the amount of energy you use in a month, measured in kWh. Plans offer different rates based on your usage level.
- Rate: Your overall energy rate is based on two different charges — the base charge (which is the same each month) and the energy charge (based on your consumption).
- Delivery fee: Your local utility charges a transmission and distribution fee for delivering power to your home.
- Bill credits: Some plans include bill credits, often based on your monthly usage. Bill credits can be enticing when comparing plans, but keep in mind that they won’t be helpful if you don’t qualify for the credit.
- Early termination fee (ETF): Most providers charge an ETF if you cancel your plan before the contract ends. Your provider may waive this fee if you move outside its service area or need an exemption in the case of a natural disaster.
- Deposit: Providers often require a deposit from customers with a lower credit score. You may qualify for an exemption if you pay your bill on time for a certain amount of time or meet another piece of criteria set by your provider. Some providers also offer no-deposit energy plans, allowing you to skip the deposit and prepay for electricity.
