About Energy Choice in Arlington
Wedged between Dallas and Fort Worth, Arlington is one of the largest US cities without its own public transit backbone — and its electricity market looks similar in one way: there's no city-run utility. Oncor Electric Delivery owns the distribution wires that reach AT&T Stadium, UT Arlington and every neighborhood in between, but the retail supply side is fully open to competition under ERCOT.
For an Arlington household, that means the transmission and distribution charges (the Oncor portion of your bill) are the same no matter which retail electric provider you sign with. The energy charge, base fee and any bill credits are where offers actually differ — and that's where a careful comparison usually finds $200–$500 a year in savings for typical 1,000–1,500 kWh homes.
One local wrinkle: Arlington's summer load pattern skews high because of hot, humid August afternoons and lots of single-family homes with older HVAC. Plans with a big bill credit at 1,000 kWh can look great on paper and then punish you in July and August, so it's worth stress-testing offers against your actual summer usage before locking in a 12- or 24-month contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which utility delivers power to Arlington, TX?
Oncor Electric Delivery serves all of Arlington. Oncor maintains the poles, wires and meters and dispatches crews during storms — your retail electric provider only sets the supply rate.
Can I choose my electricity provider in Arlington?
Yes. Arlington is inside ERCOT and Oncor's territory, both of which participate in Texas retail choice. Any REP licensed to serve Oncor ZIPs can sell you a plan in Arlington.
Who do I call for an outage in Arlington?
Report Arlington outages to Oncor at 888-313-4747 or through the Oncor outage map. Do not call your retail provider for outages — they don't operate line crews.
How is Arlington different from Fort Worth or Dallas for electricity?
It really isn't, in market terms. All three cities are inside Oncor's footprint and under ERCOT, so the same retail providers and the same wire charges apply. Available promotions and green plan mixes can vary slightly by ZIP.
What's a good usage assumption for Arlington homes?
A typical Arlington single-family home uses roughly 1,300–1,700 kWh in a peak summer month and 700–900 kWh in mild months. Comparing plans at your own average — not the 1,000 kWh benchmark — usually surfaces a better fit.
