A kWh is one unit of electricity (kWh on your bill). Judy compares the price you pay now with the best plans for your use.

Does Oncor have a standard price?

No. Oncor brings the power to your home, but it does not sell a price plan.

Everyone buys from a company they pick. Judy compares the price you pay now with the best plans for your use.

In Texas, these companies are called retail electric providers.

Each plan has an Electricity Facts Label (EFL). It shows the plan's price at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh a month.

Is it safe to switch?

Yes. Your power stays on. Oncor still brings it to your home and fixes problems.

The new company sends your bill. Check your contract for a fee to leave early.

How do I switch?

Call the company you pick, or sign up on its website. You don't call your utility.

Have your Oncor bill ready. The company will ask for a number from it.

Look for the ESI ID on your bill. It is a long number. The new company needs it to switch you.

The new company tells Oncor for you.

How long do I have to change my mind?

You have 3 business days to cancel for free after you get the new company's plan papers.

Weekends and holidays don't count.

To cancel, call the new company, write to them or cancel online.

What happens when a price plan ends?

The company must send you at least 3 notices before a fixed plan ends. The last one comes at least 30 days before it ends.

If you do nothing, you move to a month-to-month price that can change every bill. You can leave it any time with no fee.
