Compare electricity prices in Round Rock

Thanks to a deregulated energy market, there is a distinction between utility companies and energy providers in Round Rock. In regulated markets, your energy provider and utility company are the same. However, in Round Rock, the utility company only manages the electrical infrastructure and delivers power — it doesn’t actually sell electricity to you. Round Rock’s utility company is Oncor Electric Delivery, which is assigned based on where you live.

Meanwhile, electricity providers in Round Rock sell electricity to you through a plan. You can choose from many different companies, such as Express Energy, Gexa Energy, Frontier Utilities, and Pulse Power. The Choose Energy marketplace is an easy tool for comparing plans from all these providers and more. Prices can change daily, so check your ZIP code today.

Round Rock electricity providers offer a wide variety of plans. Knowing the types of energy plans allows you to evaluate all your options based on their benefits and drawbacks.

Fixed-rate plans

A fixed-rate plan offers a locked-in rate that lasts for a set timeframe, usually 12–36 months. Some plans may define how much energy you need to use to get the best rate. For example, if you sign up for a plan with a good rate up to 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh), there may be a different rate for the 1,001st kWh. You may also incur an early termination fee (ETF) if you end your contract prematurely. Make sure you read the plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for details.

Variable-rate plans

Variable-rate plans don’t have a contract, and you have the flexibility to switch providers if a better rate is available. You won’t pay any ETFs, and you may be able to get in at a low introductory rate. However, keep in mind that variable-rate plans can increase month-over-month in response to market shifts or energy demand surges.

Prepaid and no-deposit plans

Energy companies can request a credit check to determine whether you have to pay an upfront deposit. Typically, you’ll get this deposit back at the end of your time with the company. If you prefer a no-deposit option, you can try a prepaid plan. Instead of paying a deposit, you fund your energy costs up front, and the company will deduct your monthly bill from that credit on your account.
