Austin residential electricity
Compare home electricity plans in Austin. Austin Energy serves most city addresses; some metro pockets are Oncor. Enter your ZIP — no invented sample rates.
Important: Electricity plan availability in Austin depends on your specific address.
Austin is partially deregulated. Most addresses inside the Austin city limits are served by Austin Energy, a municipal utility — meaning you cannot choose your electricity provider. However, some addresses in the greater Austin metro area fall within Oncor's service territory, where the market is fully deregulated and you can shop for competitive rates.
Enter your ZIP code above to check whether competitive plans are available at your address. If you're in Austin Energy's territory, WattKarma cannot offer alternative plans — but we can still help you understand your current rate.
Parts of the Austin metro area are served by Oncor and fall within Texas's deregulated ERCOT electricity market, where you have the freedom to choose from multiple competing suppliers. WattKarma is a PUCT-licensed energy broker that simplifies the process — we compare electricity plans across top providers so you get the best rate without spending time researching on your own.
Whether you rent or own across the greater Austin metro, WattKarma helps you lock in competitive rates and straightforward contract terms wherever your address qualifies. Our service is completely free, and we're here to make switching easy from start to finish.
Texas Electricity Facts Labels must publish an average price at these three checkpoints. We do not invent sample competitor cents — those numbers go stale the day they are typed.
