Yes — most Lake Dallas addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

Compare effective rates at YOUR usage, not advertised rates — fees and bill credits bend each plan differently. Check the contract length and cancellation fee, then confirm delivery charges are included. The tables on this page do all three, and checkout takes about ten minutes.

Yes. Texas law gives you a 14-day window before your contract end date to switch with NO early-termination fee. Find your end date on your bill, then shop it today — the expensive move is drifting onto a holdover rate.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Lake Dallas today is 6.8¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh — but a plan that wins at 1,000 kWh can lose at 2,000. Enter your ZIP and usage to see which company is cheapest for your home.

How to Find the Best Energy Plan in Lake Dallas

#1 rule: Usage is key!

Discovering how much energy you will use month-to-month is the best way to find a deal on power in Lake Dallas. Why does this matter?

The rate electricity companies advertise for an exact monthly usage (usually 2000 kWh).

Every plan has a different calculation for how your monthly statement is determined, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much power you consume each month.

Unless you match the exact advertised usage each month, you will end up paying an effective “price per kWh” different than what you observed when you enrolled.

Fortunately, there’s a better way to select your electricity provider.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on expected monthly usage and comparing rates by the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the lowest rate.

Better still, if you have 12 months of usage history for your home, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the best way to find your home’s ideal electricity rate plan.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What could take you hours inside a spreadsheet is done in a few moments.

We put you in the driver’s seat, taking what would amount to hours of investigation, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of offers to assist you step-by-step with the electricity plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.

We clarify the fine print, disclosing all fees, so you’ll know precisely where your money is going and what to expect on your bill.

We then help you order your plan with your chosen electricity company without ever having to leave our service.

The bottom line is you should understand your expected or historical usage before ordering the best electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

If you cannot acquire 12 months of historical usage or own a brand new home, the next best thing is to estimate how much energy you will use in an average month.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly choosing the first plan you see advertised by an electricity provider at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

Use Compare Power to find the best electricity plan for your specific usage.

Moving to Lake Dallas: Setting up Electricity

If this is your first time setting up an electricity service in Lake Dallas, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home to get the best rate.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.

Once you have historical usage, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: You can estimate your monthly usage if you can’t obtain a usage history. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

Sign-up for a plan instantly through Compare Power. We will remind you when it’s time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching Electricity Companies in Lake Dallas

Switching is good. Market conditions are always changing, so it is important to shop for a lower price every year when your contract is about to expire.

Your existing electricity provider will normally raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you fail to act, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing energy providers.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your electricity bill.

Switching is easy:

  • You don’t have to contact your current provider to cancel (no “break-up call”)
  • No one comes to your home
  • There is no disruption in your electricity supply
  • It takes just minutes

When you switch, your new electricity provider will handle everything, including terminating service with your previous provider.

There is no loss of power when you switch. Electricity in Lake Dallas is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver power to your home do not change when you switch energy providers. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can choose any date up to 14 days before your contract’s end date without an “early termination” fee. Texas law protects you here.

If you’re still under contract, find out how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most providers up to 6o days in advance.

The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

If you’re ready to switch and would like to know how to find the best plan remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the best price.

Keep in mind that when you get ready to switch and you want to know the most efficient way to find the right plan at the best rate, it is essential that you first understand your usage. To accomplish that, you must collect the usage history for the past 12 months.

Lake Dallas Electricity Rates FAQs

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Lake Dallas was founded in 1955 when the Garza-Little Elm Dam was completed, creating Lewisville Lake and flooding the original town of Garza. The new community was built on higher ground and named Lake Dallas due to its proximity to both the lake and Dallas, becoming one of Texas's youngest incorporated cities with a unique origin story tied to flood control and water management.

RECENT

In 2020, Lake Dallas completed a major downtown revitalization project that transformed the historic downtown area along Carlisle Street into a walkable district with new shops, restaurants, and community spaces. The project included the restoration of several 1950s-era buildings and the addition of modern amenities while preserving the city's mid-century character.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson lived in Lake Dallas during her high school years and has often mentioned the small-town community in interviews. She attended Burleson High School after her family moved from the area, but credits her time in Lake Dallas with helping shape her down-to-earth personality and strong work ethic.

DID YOU KNOW

Lake Dallas is home to one of the few remaining drive-in movie theaters in North Texas, the Galaxy Drive-In, which has been operating since 1963 and survived the digital conversion that closed most drive-ins. The theater still shows double features on weekends and has become a nostalgic destination for families from across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex seeking an authentic retro movie experience.

CULTURAL

Lake Dallas hosts an annual 'Founder's Day Festival' every October that celebrates the city's unique 1950s founding with a retro-themed celebration featuring classic car shows, sock hop dancing, and period costumes. The festival draws thousands of visitors who come to experience authentic 1950s culture, complete with vintage music, classic diner food, and activities that transport visitors back to the decade when the city was born.
