Understanding Your Bill
Your Oncor bill includes several components: base charges, energy charges, fuel adjustments, taxes, and fees.
Oncor is a transmission and distribution utility in Texas — they deliver electricity but don't sell it. Oncor delivery charges typically range from 3–5¢/kWh. Your total rate depends on your chosen Retail Electric Provider (REP). Texas's deregulated market means you choose your electricity supplier separately.
Why is my Texas electricity bill so high?
High Texas electricity bills can result from your REP's supply rate, Oncor delivery charges, seasonal usage spikes (especially summer AC), or your contract terms. Texas's deregulated market means rates vary widely between providers. Upload your bill to verify both supply and delivery charges.
How can I verify my Texas electricity bill?
Upload your bill to Utility Check. We verify Oncor delivery charges, your REP's supply charges, and all applicable fees. In Texas's deregulated market, it's important to verify both components of your bill independently.
Does Utility Check support Oncor and Texas REPs?
Yes. Utility Check supports Oncor delivery verification and works with bills from all major Texas Retail Electric Providers. We verify delivery charges, supply charges, and contract terms.
