Fixed-Rate Electricity Plans
Gexa Energy offers a range of electricity plans in Arlington designed to match different household needs, usage patterns, and preferences. We’ve broken them down below, but be sure to read the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) before signing up for full details.
Usage or Bill Credit Electricity Plans
Usage credit plans apply a bill credit when your monthly electricity usage meets or exceeds a specific threshold, for example, 1,000 kWh. These plans are often a good fit for households with consistent or higher energy usage. It’s important to note that the credit applies only when the usage requirement is met, so reviewing your typical monthly usage can help determine whether this type of plan makes sense for your home.
Free Electricity Plans
Free electricity plans4 include promotional periods where energy charges are reduced or not applied during specific times. These plans are structured around when you use electricity, so shifting usage to those periods can help maximize value. When comparing your options, remember that energy charges on free electricity plans are typically higher outside of promotional periods and other fees may still apply.
Smart Thermostat and Incentive Plans5
Some Gexa Energy plans include smart thermostats and energy optimization6 features that help you manage comfort and energy usage more efficiently. These tools can give you greater control over your home’s temperature and energy habits.
EV Charging Plans
Electric vehicle (EV) 7 charging plans are designed for households that charge at home. These plans often align with off-peak usage patterns, helping you manage when your vehicle charges and how that impacts your overall energy usage.
Solar Buyback Plans
For homes with solar panels, solar buyback plans8 allow you to receive credit for the eligible excess electricity your system generates and sends back to the grid. This can help offset your overall energy costs while supporting the grid with cleaner energy.
Variable-Price Plans
A variable-price plan, also known as a variable-rate plan, offers flexibility without a long-term contract, but the energy charge can change month to month. These plans may work for short-term needs, though they are generally less predictable than fixed-rate plans.
Flat Rate Plans
Flat rate plans are designed to provide consistent billing by smoothing out seasonal changes in energy usage. Instead of large swings between high and low usage months, these plans aim to keep your monthly energy costs more even throughout the year.
Understanding Electricity in Arlington
Before choosing a plan, it helps to understand how electricity service works in Arlington. Your service is handled by two companies, and each has its own impact on your energy charges.
Who Supplies and Delivers Electricity?
In Arlington, you choose a REP, such as Gexa Energy, to supply your electricity and manage your account. Your REP handles billing, plan options, and customer support.
Electricity is delivered to your home by the Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU). In Arlington, that utility is Oncor Electric Delivery. It owns and maintains local grid infrastructure so power reaches your home or business safely and reliably. Oncor also responds to power outages in the area.
While your REP sets your plan’s energy charge and features, TDU delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and passed through to customers without markup. These charges appear as a separate line item, but are included in your total price. They are charged to all Oncor customers regardless of their REP.
What Affects Electricity Rates in Arlington?
Arlington electricity rates are influenced by how your home uses energy and the type of plan you select. Understanding these factors can help you better manage your monthly energy costs.
Energy usage plays a major role. Air conditioning use during long, hot Texas summers can significantly increase monthly consumption. Everyday habits like running appliances, adjusting thermostat settings, and time spent at home also impact usage.
Home size and insulation matter as well. Larger homes typically use more electricity, and homes with poor insulation may require more cooling to maintain comfortable temperatures.
Seasonal changes can affect how much electricity you use throughout the year. Summer often brings higher usage due to cooling needs, while winter usage depends on whether your heating system runs on electricity or natural gas.
Plan structure also affects your overall cost. A fixed-rate plan provides more consistent energy charges, while a variable-price plan may change from month to month.
TDU delivery charges are another important component. These regulated charges from Oncor Electric Delivery make up a portion of your total energy costs.
All of these factors work together to shape your monthly energy expenses, which is why choosing a plan that aligns with your home and usage habits is key.
How to Choose the Right Electricity Plan in Arlington
Choosing the right electricity plan in Arlington comes down to how your home uses energy and what level of predictability you want in your monthly energy costs. Instead of comparing every option at once, it helps to focus on the features that matter most for your household.
Start With Your Home and Usage
Your ideal plan starts with understanding how your home uses electricity. Homes in Arlington vary widely, so your usage profile plays a big role in which plan will fit best.
Consider the size of your home and how often you rely on air conditioning. Larger homes or homes with multiple occupants often use more electricity throughout the day. Features like pools, electric vehicle charging, or high-performance appliances can also increase your monthly usage.
Looking at your past usage can give you a clearer picture of what to expect and help you choose a plan that aligns with your typical energy needs.
Compare Plan Features, Not Just Price
Price is important, but it’s only one part of the decision. Contract length, flexibility, and features like usage credits can all impact your monthly energy charges.
Review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for each plan to understand what’s included and how pricing is structured. This can help you make a more informed decision based on how you expect to use electricity, not just the rate shown upfront.
