Irving Electricity Rates

Edited by Rafael Morales
Last updated:

The cheapest True Fixed electricity rate in Irving today for a 12 to 23 month term is 11.3¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh, from True Power. Across the 56 True Fixed plans in that range we track in Irving, the average is 13.8¢/kWh. Both numbers account for the energy provider’s charges and all TDU delivery and base charges, so they reflect what you actually pay.

That 11.3¢ is the floor for a real fixed rate in Irving on a term of 12 months or longer. If you see a 12-month-or-longer plan advertised well below this rate, it is almost certainly a bill credit plan. Those rates only apply if your monthly usage lands inside a narrow window, usually right around 1,000 kWh. Over a year you will likely miss it in at least 4 months (overpaying $400 or more), using too little or too much. Clear Energy Facts does not recommend these plans.

Every plan listed here is True Fixed. If you are looking for a different plan type in Irving, we track those separately: Best Free Nights plans, Best Free Weekends plans, and No-credit-check prepaid plans.

The table below uses average electricity-usage data to estimate the actual rates apartment residents could pay. Actual results will vary depending on individual usage. For more information, read our guide to bill-credit plans.

Moving to Irving? Avoid These Common Bill Credit Traps

Irving is part of the Texas deregulated electricity market, which gives you the power to choose your provider, but it also exposes you to dozens of confusing plans and marketing tactics. This guide: How to buy Electricity in Texas will help you avoid two of the most common mistakes:

  1. Getting a Bill Credit Plan for an Apartment: If you live in an apartment, never simply choose the lowest advertised rate you see online, especially if it is significantly lower than the standard fixed rates on this page. We provide the most competitive Truly Fixed Rate options available. Anything advertised below that level is likely a Bill Credit plan. These plans only become cheap if you hit a specific usage threshold, usually 1,000 kWh. If you live in an apartment, your usage likely will not hit that 1,000 kWh threshold for at least 6 months out of the year
 • 2. Avoid "Time of Use" (TOU) Plans: Do not sign up for a TOU plan if you do not know your exact usage habits. Free Nights and Free Weekends are specialized plans that often charge a much higher rate during the day to make up for the free hours. Usually, these plans end up costing you more money than you save. While they can work for some people, you must check your habits first. For more information, check our Guide for Shopping Free Night Plans in Texas.

Types of Electricity Plans Available in Irving

If you are shopping for electricity in Irving, you will see several different plan types. Some are simple and easy to understand, while others depend on your monthly usage, the time of day, or special equipment in your home.

  • Truly Fixed Plans: These plans keep the same energy rate for the full contract term, which makes them one of the most predictable options in Irving.
  • Bill Credit Plans: These plans give you a bill credit only when your monthly usage falls within a certain range, so your real rate can change a lot from month to month. Almost all comparison websites feature this kind of plan.
  • Tiered Plans: These plans use different pricing levels based on how much electricity you use during the billing cycle. These plans are very common among large companies such as Reliant and TXU.
  • Free or Discount Nights Plans: These plans offer free or lower-priced electricity at night, but the daytime rates are often much higher. Reliant, TXU, Infuse, Revolution, Green Mountain, Amigo, and Just Energy are some of the companies that offer these kinds of plans.
  • Free or Discount Weekends Plans: These plans give you free or discounted electricity on weekends, but weekday pricing may be less attractive.
  • Buyback Plans: These plans are made for homes with solar panels and let you receive credit for extra electricity sent back to the grid.
  • Special Equipment Plans: These plans are linked to certain devices, such as smart thermostats, and may include special discounts or program benefits. Octopus and Think Energy are two companies that usually offer this type of plan.
  • EV Plans: These plans are designed for electric vehicle owners and usually offer better pricing during overnight charging hours.
  • Prepaid Plans: These plans let you pay in advance for electricity and usually do not require a long contract, though you must keep enough balance in the account.
  • Variable Plans: These plans do not lock in a fixed rate, so the price can go up or down each month.
