Live eligible-plan inventory — Oncor territory; the same active, validation-clean, fresh plan set the compare tool ranks, with TDSP delivery charges included. Rate and bill figures cover standard-priced plans only (free-period and time-of-use plans are counted in inventory but excluded from rate figures).

Important: Oncor is the transmission and distribution utility (TDSP), not the company selling your retail electricity plan. Comparing providers changes your retail contract, not the utility that maintains your power lines.

Oncor Delivery Charges

Oncor delivery charges include fixed monthly amounts and charges for each kWh delivered. The applicable regulated tariff is determined by the service at your address, not which retail provider you choose. Your EFL may list delivery separately or include it in the price calculation. The total you pay also depends on your provider's energy charges, credits and contract terms.

TrueBill includes applicable Oncor delivery charges in estimated bills, alongside the plan's energy and base charges and qualifying credits or fees. Check the EFL pricing calculation and your provider's bill: delivery may be shown separately or included in the plan's price. Do not add it a second time if it is already included.

Official Oncor Residential Delivery Charges

Delivery has a fixed monthly charge and a per-kWh charge. These are Oncor's residential rates from its tariff filing (PUCT Docket 59249, item 105: temporary rates pending a final order); every retail provider passes the same charges through.

Source: Oncor tariff, PUCT Docket 59249, item 105: temporary rates pending a final order, residential rates for bills rendered on or after October 4, 2026. TrueBill adds these charges once to Oncor-area plan estimates; a plan whose estimate still uses an earlier delivery rate says so on its card. The EFL for any plan you enroll in remains the authoritative source for that plan.

Check Oncor's official tariff and rate schedules. Switching providers does not change the applicable delivery tariff at your address, but energy prices, credits and other retail terms can change the total bill.

Estimated costs are informational. Provider rates and plan terms may change. Confirm current details directly with the provider.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oncor

What is an Oncor delivery charge?
It pays for delivering and metering electricity, including the wires and equipment Oncor maintains. Residential delivery includes fixed monthly and usage-based components. Oncor's delivery-charge guide explains the components; its official tariff sets applicable amounts and effective dates.
How do Oncor delivery charges affect my bill?
Delivery contributes to the total you pay alongside your provider's energy and base charges, credits and other applicable charges. For a fixed monthly amount M and a delivery rate R dollars per kWh, delivery is M + R times your usage. TrueBill includes applicable delivery charges when estimating a plan's monthly cost.
Does Oncor sell electricity plans?
No. Oncor delivers electricity. Retail electric providers sell plans and bill customers. TrueBill Energy is a broker and comparison service: enter your ZIP and usage to compare retail plans, then confirm the current EFL and enrollment terms with the provider.
Why does Oncor appear on my electricity bill?
Your retail provider collects charges for Oncor's delivery service as part of your electricity bill. The statement may identify an Oncor TDU Delivery Charge or present delivery within the plan's pricing. Oncor's bill explanation describes how the utility and retail provider contribute to the bill.
Can I avoid Oncor delivery charges?
Switching retail providers does not change the delivery utility or the regulated tariff applicable at your address. Using less electricity lowers the usage-based delivery amount, while fixed monthly charges remain. Compare the full estimated bill, since retail energy prices, fees and credits can differ between plans.
What is the Oncor tariff for retail delivery service?
It is the approved schedule of Oncor delivery rates, charges and service terms. Use Oncor's official tariff and rate schedules for applicable riders and effective dates. An EFL capture date on TrueBill records when that document was collected, not when a tariff became effective.
Did Oncor increase delivery charges recently?
Oncor reported new base rates effective June 1, 2026 and a temporary surcharge beginning August 1, 2026 to recover earlier rate differences through year-end. See Oncor's August 6 update. For bills rendered on or after October 4, 2026, Oncor's residential delivery charges are $4.06 per month plus 6.8673¢ per kWh (PUCT Docket 59249, item 105: temporary rates pending a final order). Check the official tariff for the service dates on your bill; usage, retail pricing and bill credits can also change your total.
Are Oncor delivery charges included in TrueBill estimates?
Yes. TrueBill includes delivery charges when estimating plans for Oncor territory, together with EFL energy charges, base charges and applicable credits or usage fees. The estimate depends on your usage and the plan's pricing structure. Confirm the current EFL and terms before enrolling.
How do Oncor delivery charges affect 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh bills?
The usage-based delivery amount rises with kWh, while the fixed monthly amount is spread over more electricity. The delivery-charge table on this page shows those totals at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh. Use your own usage and the current tariff for an address-specific comparison.
What cities are in the Oncor service area?
Oncor serves addresses in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Waco, Midland, Odessa and other parts of North, Central and West Texas. City limits and ZIP codes are not utility boundaries. Start with your ZIP, then confirm the utility at your exact service address using your bill or the provider's enrollment check.
Does Oncor set my electricity rate?
Oncor's regulated delivery tariff covers the delivery portion. Your retail provider sets the retail plan's energy pricing and contract terms. A fixed-rate retail contract does not guarantee that delivery charges or your total monthly bill will never change.
Who do I call for an Oncor power outage or a billing question?
For outages, contact Oncor at 888-313-4747 or use its official outage-reporting service. For payments, bill questions or contract changes, contact your retail provider. Switching retail plans does not change which utility restores power.
Can I switch electricity providers in Oncor territory?
At a retail-choice address served by Oncor, you can compare the retail providers offering plans there. Check your existing contract's end date and any early termination fee, and confirm the new provider's available start dates. Oncor remains the delivery utility.
