Austin Energy (municipal) / Oncor (surrounding)
Austin has a twist: homes inside the City of Austin are served by Austin Energy (a municipal utility — not deregulated). Surrounding areas like Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, and Georgetown are on Oncor and CAN shop plans. Check your ZIP first.
Questions Austin residents ask us.
Part of Austin is in a municipal utility (no shopping), and part is deregulated. Check your ZIP code — Voltcheckr tells you for free which side you're on in 10 seconds.
Austin homes average around 1,060 kWh per month at an effective rate near 13.5¢/kWh, which works out to about $143/month. Voltcheckr calculates your exact bill against 200+ plans so you know where you actually stand.
Pick a plan on Voltcheckr, click Switch, and your new provider handles the cancellation of your old plan automatically. No calls, no paperwork, no double billing. Your new rate typically starts within 1–3 business days.
If you're inside a fixed-term contract, early termination fees (ETF) typically run $150–$295. Voltcheckr surfaces the ETF on your current plan and subtracts it from your first-year savings so you see the real break-even. If you're in the last 14 days of your contract, you can switch ETF-free.
Rates change daily. Upload your bill (or enter your ZIP + home size) and Voltcheckr shows you the real-time cheapest plan, refreshed nightly from Power to Choose.
