Rate is the provider's advertised price per kWh at the selected monthly usage, from its Electricity Facts Label. Est. bill is the all-in monthly cost at that usage — energy charge, TDU delivery charges, base fees and any bill credits, averaged across a typical year. Bill-credit plans can cost noticeably more if your usage falls below the credit threshold.

Electricity in The Colony, Texas

The Colony is a suburban city in Denton County on the shores of Lake Lewisville. Thanks to Texas's deregulated electricity market, residents here can shop for their own electricity provider rather than being locked into a single utility. That means you can compare dozens of plans and providers to find the rate that fits your home's usage and budget.

The Colony is a densely residential DFW suburb where most households fall into a predictable usage band. Fixed-rate plans with 12- or 24-month terms typically offer the best value here, since variable rates during Texas summers can be unpredictable.

How The Colony electricity market works

Your utility: Oncor Electric Delivery

Oncor Electric Delivery is responsible for maintaining the power lines, transformers, and grid infrastructure delivering electricity to your home. Your utility is fixed by your address — you cannot choose it. To report power outages or downed power lines, contact Oncor at 888-313-4747.

Your electricity provider

Your electricity provider is the company you buy power from. They set your rate, send your bill, and provide customer service. In The Colony, you can choose from dozens of retail electric providers competing in the Oncor service area — this competition is what keeps Texas rates among the most competitive in the country.

Types of electricity plans in The Colony

Fixed-rate plans

Fixed-rate plans lock in your price per kWh for 6 to 36 months. For most Colony homeowners, a 12- or 24-month fixed rate delivers the best balance of savings and stability — your bill stays predictable regardless of what happens to the wholesale market in summer.

Variable-rate plans

Variable-rate plans adjust monthly with market conditions and carry no long-term contract. You can switch anytime without a cancellation fee. The downside is real exposure to summer price spikes — Texas demand peaks in July and August, and variable rates can climb sharply.

Prepaid plans

Prepaid electricity lets you pay in advance with no deposit or credit check. You load funds and monitor your balance rather than receiving a monthly bill. A good option for renters or anyone who wants to avoid a multi-month commitment.

Green energy plans

Most providers serving The Colony offer 100% renewable energy plans sourced from Texas wind and solar. Green plans have become price-competitive in recent years and are worth including in your comparison when you shop.

How to switch electricity providers in The Colony

Switching providers in The Colony is straightforward and doesn't interrupt your service. Oncor continues delivering your electricity throughout — only your billing relationship changes.

  1. Enter your ZIP code to see all available plans from competing providers in your area.
  2. Link your Oncor usage data so GridHacker can show you what each plan would actually cost based on your home's real consumption history.
  3. Compare on total cost — review the EFL for each plan to spot minimum usage fees, base charges, or early termination penalties before committing.
  4. Enroll online in minutes — your new provider handles the switch with Oncor and your power stays on the whole time.

The best time to shop is 60–90 days before your current contract ends. Waiting until after expiration often means defaulting to a higher variable rate automatically.
