Best Coppell Electricity Plans and Rates

Below, you’ll find some of the best electricity plans and rates in Coppell, Texas. These offerings are fixed-rate plans with no hidden fees or complex rate structures,  which should suit a broad range of homes in the Lone Star State.

These plans have 12-month contracts, but you can also find longer options, such as 24 or 36 months — often with lower rates.

Other plans and providers offer lower energy rates than those below. However, many of these ultra-cheap energy plans feature bill credits and other deceptive discounts that can lead to unpredictable energy costs. We recommend the plan types below for straightforward and easy-to-predict monthly energy pricing.

The rates in the above table are updated daily for the Oncor service area. Monthly bill estimates are for 1,000 kWh usage.

Cheapest Electricity Rates in Coppell

For the cheapest rates in Coppel, check out the table below. However, you should note that many of these plans depend on usage-based credits to advertise those ultra-cheap rates. 

These credits usually become available when you reach — or stay below — a required kilowatt-hour threshold. The most common usage levels are either 1,000 or 2,000 kWh in a month, but the threshold varies depending on the plan.

For example, an energy plan with a rate of 20 cents per kWh would normally charge $400 for 2,000 kWh. However, if the plan includes a $150 bill credit at 2,000 kWh, your total bill drops to $250, and your effective energy rate drops to 12.5 cents. But if your usage drops to 1,900 kWh in the next month, you miss the $150 credit and must pay $380.

Check out the lowest rates in Coppell below. While we don’t generally recommend bill credit plans, they may suit your needs depending on how your home consumes electricity. Carefully review the plan’s terms of service before signing up.

How To Choose an Electricity Plan in Coppell

When homeowners switch their electricity provider, they often look for lower rates and power bill savings. However, additional reasons you may want to switch include:

• Finding an electricity provider with better customer service
• Searching for specific plan features not available from your current provider
• Moving to a new home with different electricity plan options

Regardless of your reasons for switching, the following recommendations can help you compare electricity plans more efficiently.

1) Compare Electricity Rates that Match Your Monthly Consumption

Coppell energy plans display their kilowatt-hour prices at 500 kWh, 1,000 kWh and 2,000 kWh per month. When comparing electricity plans, check the pricing level closest to your typical consumption. There is no need for an exact match — for example, if you use 1,200 kWh per month, you can compare the rates displayed for 1,000 kWh.

If you’re unsure of your monthly energy usage, you can assess it using the following methods:

• You can check your 12 latest power bills to see a full year of consumption and account for seasonal variation in usage.
• You can download your usage data from Smart Meter Texas.

2) Focus on Comparing Plans with Your Preferred Features

With over 140 electricity plans available in Coppell, reviewing every option isn’t feasible. Instead, you can narrow down your choices by deciding which features are important for you., For example, if you own a home solar system, you can focus on fixed-rate plans that allow you to sell excess solar energy back to the provider. Other providers offer electric vehicle charging discounts or smart thermostat benefits. Determine which perks and features you want, and filter your plan options based on your needs.

3) Select an Electricity Plan and Sign Up

Once you’ve found the best plan for your energy needs, we can help you sign up in as few as five minutes. We only need your contact information, service address and service start date — your new light company will handle all the rest. Before signing up for a new plan, check your current contract for any cancellation fees.

Plan Types Available in Coppell

We can classify Coppell electricity plans into six main categories, which you can explore below.

• Fixed-rate plans: Your electricity rate remains fixed for the entire contract term, but there is a cancellation fee if you end the plan early.
• Green energy plans: These plans contain 100% renewable electricity from hydroelectric stations, solar farms and wind turbines.
• No-deposit, prepaid plans: These plans have no billing cycle — you prepay for electricity at your convenience, and your balance covers daily consumption.
• Variable-rate plans: Rates will change every month based on market conditions. However, you can switch at any time without a cancellation fee.
• Bill credit plans: These plans offer bill credits and low rates within a specific usage range but impose very high rates outside this range.
• Time-of-use plans: These plans charge different rates depending on the time of the day, usually high rates during peak-usage hours and low rates during off-peak hours.

We recommend fixed-rate plans as the best option for Coppell residents. Green and prepaid plans are also viable since they often include fixed rates. We don’t usually recommend the other plan types since they have unpredictable rates that can increase your power bills.

What To Know About Electricity When Moving To Coppell

Comparing electricity plans in Coppell involves several factors, such as kilowatt-hour prices, contract lengths, base charges and cancellation fees. Here are some expert tips to help you compare electricity plans like a pro.

1) Read the Electricity Facts Label (EFL)

Advertised electricity can often be misleading, promoting low rates that only apply under specific conditions while hiding base charges and other unfavorable terms. However, the PUCT requires an electricity facts label (EFL) for every plan on the market. The EFL has a standard format that breaks down all charges and conditions, including energy charges, delivery fees, discount requirements and all other charges. You can easily avoid hidden fees and deceptive terms by comparing electricity plans based on their EFLs — not their advertised rates.

2) Know the Early Termination Fee (ETF) for Your Plan Options

If your electricity plan has a fixed contract term, it will likely include an early termination fee (ETF). Some companies have a flexible cancellation policy based on the months left in your contract. For example, TriEagle Energy and 4Change Energy charge $20 per remaining month if you switch or cancel early. Other providers are less flexible, with flat cancellation fees of up to $395 regardless of your remaining contract term.

NOTE: Texas law exempts you from paying an ETF if you switch electricity plans while moving to another address.

3) You May Find the Lowest Rates in Spring or Fall

Since Texas has a deregulated electricity market with competition among providers, energy prices tend to follow supply and demand patterns:

• Rates tend to be higher in summer and winter since climate control appliances increase power demand across the grid.
• Rates tend to decrease in spring and fall, when temperatures are mild and customers use less power for heating and cooling.

Market prices constantly change, but fixed rates under an active contract remain locked in until your plan ends. We recommend starting a fixed-rate plan in spring or fall since this will keep your rates low in summer and winter. This recommendation also applies if you’re moving to Coppell — you can usually secure an affordable rate in advance, even if your move-in date is during the summer or winter.

4) Watch Out for “Pricing Gimmicks”

Some electricity plans include valuable features like 100% green energy or solar buyback, which provide real benefits without affecting your kilowatt-hour price. However, other features look good on paper but can work against you in practice:

• Free energy periods: Several electricity plans offer free nights, weekends, or weekdays. However, they often charge 25 to 30 cents per kWh outside their free periods.
• Bill credits: Electricity plans with this feature offer rates as low as 10 to 13 cents per kWh when your usage stays within a specific range but can charge 20 to 24 cents per kWh if you miss the mark and don’t get the account credit.

Our energy experts recommend avoiding any plan features that can lead to unpredictable costs.

How Does Deregulated Energy Work in Coppell?

Traditional electricity companies control all power supply stages — generation, transmission, distribution, metering and billing. On the other hand, a deregulated electricity market separates these functions and assigns them to different companies:

In Coppell and other areas of Texas with deregulated electricity, you can choose your light company. However, you cannot choose your utility company or power generator.

Electricity providers compete with each other, but TDUs are in a different situation. Texas divides its deregulated energy market into six service territories, each assigned to a single utility company. There is no overlap between these territories and no competition among TDUs.

Each TDU charges delivery fees within its service territory, which the Public Utility Commission of Texas controls. In other words, a TDU cannot increase its delivery fees without the approval of the Commission.

In addition to the market participants described above, two organizations have key roles in the Texas power sector.

• The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) is the state agency that establishes and enforces laws for the local electricity sector.
• The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is the system operator above all generators, electricity providers and utility companies. ERCOT coordinates all market participants, balancing supply and demand to keep a stable power supply.

Which TDU serves Coppell?

Located northwest of Dallas, Coppell falls within the Oncor service area. As the local utility company, Oncor applies the following charges to all electricity plans in Coppell:

• Base Charge: $4.23 per month
• Delivery Charge: 5.0029 cents per kWh

You’ll generally receive the fastest service during a power outage if you contact your utility company directly. Retail energy providers can’t address or repair outages. If you call your light company, customer service will likely redirect your call to the local utility company in your area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electricity Rates in Coppell

What is the cheapest electricity provider in Coppell?

Among our top-rated electricity providers, Express Energy, 4Change Energy and Veteran Energy currently offer the lowest fixed rates in Coppell. However, if you’re willing to assume the risk of varying monthly energy costs, Gexa Energy and Frontier Utilities offer bill credit energy plans with lower advertised rates. Carefully review the EFL for such plans before signing up to ensure your usage meets the bill credit requirements.

What is a good electricity rate in Coppell?

We recommend fixed-rate plans for stable pricing and predictable monthly bills. If you filter your options only to include these plans, the lowest rates usually range from 15 to 16 cents per kWh. However, you may find rates below 15 cents per kWh if you wait until spring or fall or by selecting longer contract terms, such as 24 or 36 months.

Which energy provider doesn’t require a deposit in Coppell?

Payless Power offers prepaid electricity plans in Coppell with no credit check or security deposit requirement. Most prepaid plans have variable monthly rates, but Payless Power offers fixed rates for six and 12-month contracts. However, note that prepaid rates are usually higher than standard postpaid rates.

Why are electricity rates so high in Coppell?

Several factors can lead to high power bills in Coppell, including:

• Using old and inefficient home appliances.
• Setting your thermostat too cold in summer or too hot in winter.
• Being enrolled in an electricity plan with high rates or hidden fees.

You can save on power bills by upgrading your appliances and switching to a plan with lower rates. Purchasing a home solar system is also an option, but ensure you get a professional installation to avoid technical issues. Also, large homes tend to have higher monthly bills simply because of their size and large number of appliances.
