What is Oncor?
Oncor Electric Delivery is the largest transmission and distribution utility in Texas, maintaining the wires and meters across a huge stretch of North and West Texas, including Dallas, Fort Worth, and Midland. Oncor doesn't sell electricity itself — in this deregulated territory, dozens of retail providers compete for your business on top of Oncor's wires.

Cities in Oncor's territory
In our own verified data, Dallas, Fort Worth, Midland sit in Oncor's delivery territory. Oncor is the largest deregulated delivery utility in Texas by a wide margin — its real service territory covers far more than the three cities above. Those are simply the areas where we currently have our own verified plan data; we're not claiming that's the whole map. Two of our tracked boundary ZIPs also touch Oncor territory: Lewisville (75067), which splits between Oncor and TNMP, and Pecos (79772), which is genuinely three-way — Oncor, TNMP, and AEP Texas North all show up there depending on the exact address.
Delivery utility vs. retail provider
Oncor owns and maintains the physical wires, poles, and meters, and handles outages — you don't get to shop for that part, it's assigned by where you live. What you do shop for is the retail electric provider (REP): the company that actually sells you the electricity and bills you for it. Every plan's price already has Oncor's delivery charge baked in, so the prices above are what you'd really pay, not just the energy portion.
Reporting a Oncor outage
Outages are Oncor's responsibility no matter which retail provider bills you. Call (888) 313-4747 or use Oncor's official outage reporting tool to report one or check restoration status.

Frequently asked questions
Does Oncor sell electricity directly to customers?
No. Oncor is a delivery utility — it maintains the wires, meters, and outage response, but in this deregulated part of Texas you choose a separate retail electric provider to actually sell you the electricity. Oncor’s delivery charge is included in every plan’s price regardless of which provider you pick.
How do I report a power outage with Oncor?
Call (888) 313-4747 or use Oncor’s official outage reporting tool. This is the same contact regardless of which retail electric provider bills you — outages are always the delivery utility’s responsibility, not the retailer’s.

We’re tracking 620 real plans from 43 providers in Oncor’s territory, pulled from official plan filings — not a curated top-10 list.

Across those 620 plans, the price at 1,000 kWh of usage averages 13.7¢/kWh, ranging from 11.8¢ to 16.7¢. Your actual best rate depends heavily on your real usage level, which is exactly what our tool factors in rather than quoting one headline number.
