Which Power Company Distributes the Electricity to Dayton?

The electricity provider you get your bill from is not the company that delivers the electricity to your home. That job is performed by the regional transmission & distribution utility (TDU) in your area. In Dayton this utility is Oncor. Oncor is responsible for maintaining the power lines, responding to outages and generally making sure your electricity gets to you no matter who you choose as your light company.

The electric company you pay your bill to is called a retail electricity provider (REP) and it is responsible for purchasing power from the grid and selling it to you. Your bill will include standard fees from Oncor. These fees are the same for everyone in the Oncor delivery area no matter what REP they use.

What this means is that electricity providers are competing on price alone. They aren’t competing on quality or reliability of service since they don’t even deliver your electricity.

Tips for Comparing the Cheapest Electric Companies in Dayton

The pricing structure for some electricity plans is simple and predictable. However, many of the electricity plans (perhaps most) have complicated pricing schemes that mean your average electricity rate depends very much on how much power you use. Such plans can be priced with multiple components including flat monthly charges plus per-kilowatt hour charges that may fluctuate depending on usage level. On top of this some plans include bill credits that appear when you use above a certain amount of electricity but later disappear when you use a still higher amount.

As a result of all this, the average electricity rate for a given plan can be substantially different at 500 kWh of monthly electricity usage than it is at 1000 kWh of monthly electricity usage.

If you live in an apartment, make sure you are comparing plans based on the 500 kWh average electricity rates. If you are looking at the 2000 kWh average electricity rates, you may find that what you thought was the cheapest electricity plan is, in reality, one of the most expensive if you don’t use enough electricity.

Likewise, if you live in a larger home, you should be comparing rates based on 2000 kWh of average electricity usage – not 1000 kWh or 500 kWh.
