Allen is home to Texans who understand how sweltering North Texas summers can make monthly light bills unpredictable.

Understanding Deregulated Electricity in Texas

Since 2002, most of Texas—including Allen—operates under a deregulated electricity model. That means Transmission & Distribution Utilities like Oncor Electric Delivery maintain the poles and wires, while Retail Electric Providers (REPs) compete on price and service. Prepaid power is simply another billing format that gives you ultimate control of when and how you pay.

Prepaid vs. Post‑Paid: What’s Cheaper?

Plan Type Monthly Usage (kWh) Estimated Cost
Now Power Texas Prepaid 1000 $135

Estimates include energy charge, TDU delivery, and taxes; actual cost varies.
