  • Commitment to Energy Efficiency
  • Three Incentive Programs from Oncor

Commitment to Energy Efficiency

Oncor Electric Delivery is the largest electric utility in Texas, serving more than 10 million customers. Oncor is characterized by its solid commitment to helping its customers improve their energy efficiency, and they run some of the largest incentive programs in the state. The company offers programs for all main customer categories: residential, business, government, education and nonprofit organizations.

Three Incentive Programs from Oncor

Oncor’s residential incentive programs target three key areas: insulation, heating and cooling equipment, and solar photovoltaic systems.

  • The

    Home Energy Efficiency

    program applies for insulation, heating and cooling upgrades.

  • The

    Low-Income Weatherization

    incentive is for home insulation improvements.

  • The

    Solar Photovoltaic Residential

    incentive helps homeowners deploy solar panels and their associated components at a reduced cost.

In 2017, the budgets available for these incentive programs are the following:

Program

Total Budget

Home Energy Efficiency

US$ 10 million

Low-Income Weatherization

US$ 6 million

Solar Photovoltaic Residential

US$ 3 million

When carrying out energy improvements for a home, the recommended starting point is insulation. If insulation is improved first, heating and cooling upgrades can be calculated based on reduced loads, which means the new units can have both a higher efficiency and a smaller installed capacity. A solar photovoltaic system is recommended after improving energy efficiency since the generation capacity required to meet your needs will be less.

ADVERTISER & EDITORIAL DISCLOSURE

At EnergyOutlet.com, we make shopping for electricity plans simple, transparent, and stress-free! We partner with retail electricity providers (REPs) and may earn commissions when users sign up for plans directly through us. These commissions never impact how plans are ranked.

Our listings are based on electricity rates and plan details—not compensation—so you get fair and unbiased comparisons. You can also sort and filter plans by contract length, rate type, provider, and more to find the best option for your needs!

We work hard to keep everything accurate and up to date, but plan details may sometimes differ from what’s listed on a provider’s website. Rates and terms change frequently, so we always recommend verifying the latest pricing and conditions directly with the provider before enrolling.

All our content—whether reviews, comparisons, or educational guides—is created independently by our team to provide honest, unbiased information.
