Electricity Plans in Garland, TX

If your Garland address is in a deregulated service area, you'll have several plan types to choose from. The right option depends on how your household uses electricity, how predictable you want your monthly bill to be, and which features matter most to you.

Fixed-Rate Electricity Plans3

If you prefer consistency, a fixed-rate plan can help take some of the guesswork out of your monthly electricity costs. Your Energy Charge stays the same throughout your contract term, helping you budget with greater confidence. That stability can be especially helpful during Garland's hottest months, when air conditioning often drives electricity usage well above the rest of the year. Your total bill will still vary with electricity usage and applicable charges.

Usage or Bill Credit Electricity Plans

Some Gexa Energy plans include a bill credit once your monthly electricity usage reaches the qualifying amount listed in the Electricity Facts Label. If your household reaches that threshold during a billing cycle, the credit is automatically applied. If it doesn't, the credit won't be available for that month. Looking at the last 12 months of previous electricity bills can help you decide whether this type of plan matches your household's typical usage.

Free Electricity Plans4

Some households naturally use more electricity during evenings or weekends. If that's true for your home, a Free Electricity plan may fit your routine. Gexa offers the Gexa Free 3-Day Weekends, where you get 72 hours of free electricity. Electricity used outside those promotional windows is generally billed according to the plan's standard pricing.

Smart Thermostat and Incentive Plans5

Gexa Energy Saver plans include a Sensi® Touch Wi-Fi smart thermostat with professional installation at no additional cost. Combined with Gexa MyAccount and the Gexa Energy Mobile App, you'll have convenient tools for monitoring your electricity usage, managing your account, and making informed adjustments throughout the cooling season.

Solar Buyback Plans6

If your home has rooftop solar, a solar buyback plan lets you earn bill credits for eligible excess electricity your system exports back to the grid. Your Electricity Facts Label and Product-Specific Terms explain how credits are calculated and when they apply.

EV Charging Plans7

If charging your electric vehicle overnight is already part of your routine, Gexa Energy offers plans designed to support that schedule. These plans provide an energy charge credit when you charge your vehicle during eligible overnight hours. Compatible vehicles must be paired with the Gexa365 platform. TDU delivery charges continue to apply during all charging periods.

Variable-Price Plans3

Variable-price plans give you flexibility because the Energy Charge can change from month to month based on market conditions. Some customers prefer this type of plan because it doesn't require the same long-term commitment as a fixed-rate plan. Just remember that monthly electricity charges may be less predictable as market prices change.

Flat Rate Plans

Flat rate plans provide a consistent monthly charge while your electricity usage stays within the plan's specified usage range. If your household uses more electricity than the included amount, additional Energy Charges apply. For homes with relatively steady electricity usage throughout the year, this type of plan may offer another predictable budgeting option.

What Shapes Your Garland Electricity Bill

The biggest factors that affect Garland electricity bills include:

  • Electricity usage

    Home size, insulation, energy efficiency, and appliance use all play a role in how much electricity your household consumes each month.

  • Household activities

    The number of occupants, daily routines, electric vehicle charging, pools, and other high-energy appliances can all contribute to higher electricity usage.

  • Seasonal changes

    Garland's hot North Texas summers often lead to higher electricity use as air conditioning demand increases during the warmest months of the year.

  • Plan structure

    Features such as fixed-rate pricing, variable-price pricing, usage credits, and Free Electricity periods can all affect how your energy charges are calculated.

  • TDU delivery charges

    If your home is in a deregulated service area, regulated Oncor delivery charges are included on your bill regardless of which retail electricity provider you choose.

  • Current Oncor Electric Delivery Delivery Charges

    • Per kWh: 6.8673¢ per kWh delivered
    • Base fee: $4.06 per month (TDU meter charge)

Average Garland Electric Bills

Estimated electricity bills in Garland can vary based on seasonal energy use and the current price of your selected plan. Using Gexa's average available price of 16.6¢/kWh, the estimated average monthly electricity bill in Garland is $165.59. For a typical home, the average monthly bill is approximately $196, while apartment residents typically pay around $128 per month. This equals estimated annual electricity costs of $2,352 for a home and $1,532 for an apartment.

Estimated monthly bill across the year

HomeApartment

A typical Garland home's bill ranges from about $120 in Feb to $329 in Jul. For an apartment, bills range from $97 in Nov to $166 in Jul.

*The chart uses live plan pricing and seasonal usage data to provide a more accurate estimate than a static annual average. Estimates are modeled using Gexa's average available rate at 1,000 kWh and typical seasonal usage patterns. Actual bills will vary based on electricity usage, plan selection, and applicable TDU delivery charges.

How to Choose the Right Electricity Plan in Garland

If your Garland address is in one of the city's deregulated service areas, choosing the right electricity plan comes down to understanding how your household uses energy and which plan features matter most to you.

Household Electricity Usage in Garland

A single electricity bill only tells part of the story. Before enrolling in a new plan, take a look at your usage across all four seasons to see how your household's needs change throughout the year. In Garland, electricity demand often peaks during July and August as North Texas temperatures climb, then falls during the cooler winter months. Looking at a full year of usage helps you understand whether your home stays fairly consistent or experiences large seasonal swings.

    Plan Features to Compare

    The advertised price per kilowatt-hour is only one part of an electricity plan. Looking a little deeper can help you choose a plan that fits your household over the long term. Before making your decision, review the Electricity Facts Label (EFL). It explains how each plan is priced, outlines contract details, and highlights any eligibility requirements or available credits so you know exactly what you're signing up for.

      FAQs About Electricity in Garland

      What ZIP codes in Garland are deregulated?

      Before comparing electricity plans in Garland, there's one important question to answer: Is your address in a deregulated service area? Many homes in Garland receive electricity through the city's municipal utility. Others are served by Oncor Electric Delivery and are part of Texas' deregulated electricity market. Portions of the following Garland ZIP codes are served by Oncor: 75040 75041 75042 75043 75044 75046 75048

      Can I choose my electricity provider in Garland?

      Most of Garland is served by the city's municipal electric utility, which means residents receive bundled electric service and don't choose a Retail Electric Provider. Homes located in Garland's deregulated areas that are served by Oncor Electric Delivery can compare electricity plans from Retail Electric Providers like Gexa Energy. Because some ZIP codes include both service types, checking your address or ESID is the easiest way to confirm whether you're eligible to shop.

      Is my Garland home served by Oncor or the city utility?

      That depends entirely on your service address. Most Garland homes receive electricity through the city's municipal utility. Other neighborhoods are served by Oncor Electric Delivery, making them part of Texas' deregulated electricity market where customers can choose a Retail Electric Provider. If you're unsure which applies to your home, checking your address or ESID is the quickest way to verify your service area before comparing electricity plans.

      How do I report a power outage in Garland?

      The correct contact depends on which utility serves your address. If your home is in a deregulated area served by Oncor Electric Delivery, you can: Call 888-313-4747 Text OUT to 66267 Report an outage using Oncor's online outage tool If your home is served by Garland's municipal electric utility, contact the city's utility department to report outages and receive restoration updates.
