Shopping for power in Cedar Hill comes down to a simple split. You choose the retail company that sells you electricity and the plan that sets your price, because Cedar Hill is open to retail competition. Oncor handles delivery. Its lines and meters bring electricity to Cedar Hill homes regardless of which provider you sign with, so the decision in front of you is about price and plan terms rather than service quality.
The table below shows live prices for Cedar Hill addresses served by Oncor. Further down, we explain this month's prices, which plans in the table suit which homes, and what to check on the Electricity Facts Label (EFL), the standard document that spells out every Texas plan's pricing and terms. We checked the prices on this page on November 4, 2026, and we revisit them every month.

This is where Cedar Hill prices stood when we checked on November 4, 2026. Figures are average prices per kilowatt-hour (kWh), the unit that measures your electricity use, at 1,000 kWh a month unless noted otherwise, and Oncor's delivery charges are built in.
Four plans in our Cedar Hill rates table are priced from 7.4¢ to 9.0¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh.
Power to Choose, the official state website for comparing electricity offers, listed 171 plans from 42 providers in the Oncor service area.
On Power to Choose, Oncor-area fixed-rate plans (setting aside prepaid and time-of-use plans) ran from 6.2¢ to 16.3¢; 75 of those 147 plans cost 13.1¢ or less, and the typical 12-month plan was 13.0¢.
The cheapest bill-credit plans on Power to Choose were priced at 6.2¢, 6.9¢ and 7.4¢, and bill-credit plans there ran 18.0¢ to 27.0¢ at 500 kWh.
On Power to Choose, the lowest-priced 12-month plans that skip the bill credit stayed within 11.8¢ to 12.4¢ across all three usage levels.
Oncor charges $4.06 a month plus 6.8673¢ per kWh for delivery, according to Oncor-area EFLs dated October 4, 2026. At 1,000 kWh that is $72.73 a month on its own.
In August 2026, the average Texas residential price was 15.91¢ per kWh, according to preliminary data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
What this means for you: a fixed rate above about 13¢ per kWh, or a month-to-month rate after a contract lapsed, is a good reason to compare plans this month.
Every plan we quote from our Cedar Hill table this month uses a bill credit to reach its low price. Here are the averages at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh:
4Change Energy's Maxx Saver Value 12 and Frontier Utilities' Frontier Saver Plus 12 both show 20.3¢, 7.4¢ and 13.4¢.
Frontier Saver Plus 24 shows 21.3¢, 8.4¢ and 14.5¢.
4Change Energy's Maxx Saver Value 24 shows 22.0¢, 9.0¢ and 15.1¢.
The catch is in the 500 kWh column. Frontier says its Saver Plus plans can earn up to $1,500 in usage credits a year, and those credits are what pull the 1,000 kWh price down. 4Change's plan notes for Maxx Saver Value mention AutoPay and paperless communications without describing the credit, so look up the trigger on the EFL before enrolling.
These plans can be the lowest-cost choice in Cedar Hill for homes that use 1,000 kWh or more in every billing cycle. Fall, winter and spring months are where the risk sits: if usage drops below the line, the credit doesn't apply and that month costs much more per kWh. Homes with uneven usage will usually spend less over a year on a plan without a credit. Our guide to reading an EFL shows exactly where to find the credit rules.
Compare rates at your own usage. Most advertising quotes the 1,000 kWh price, but each EFL shows averages at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, and the one nearest your typical month gives the truest picture.
In November 2026, roughly 12¢ per kWh or less at your usage on a 12-month plan without a bill credit is a good Cedar Hill price; on Power to Choose, the cheapest plans of that type cost 11.8¢ to 12.4¢.
16¢ per kWh is more than the EIA's 15.91¢ Texas average and more than the typical 12-month plan on Power to Choose, so a rate like that is worth replacing.
When a contract ends and no new plan is chosen, the account moves to a month-to-month rate that is very likely higher than the plans in our table. You can leave it without an early termination fee.
Your smart meter already tracks how much you use. Smart Meter Texas, the official state portal for meter data, shows that history for free, and the kWh on your last 12 bills gives the same answer. The EIA says the average Texas home used 1,096 kWh a month in 2024, and summer cooling takes many Cedar Hill homes past that.
High Cedar Hill bills usually come from one of three places.
Summer cooling: running the air conditioning through long, hot days can push usage far above spring and fall levels, so check how a plan prices your summer usage as well as 1,000 kWh.
Oncor's delivery charges: $4.06 a month plus 6.8673¢ per kWh pays for the poles, wires and meters, and providers pass it through on every plan. Delivery takes up more than half the bill on a 13.0¢ plan at 1,000 kWh, which is what the typical 12-month plan cost on Power to Choose. The Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) sets these charges and publishes current delivery rates for all Texas utilities.
Lapsed contracts: if a fixed-rate term ends and you don't pick a new plan, you land on a month-to-month rate that can change from one billing cycle to the next.
You can handle the first two by comparing at summer usage and fixing your rate before the heat. A reminder set a month before your contract ends handles the third.
Two different companies are involved in your electric service. Your retail electric provider (REP) is the one you pick, and it sets your plan, bills you and takes billing questions. Oncor is the transmission and distribution utility (TDU), and it owns the lines, reads your smart meter and repairs the network. Because every provider uses the same Oncor equipment, switching won't change how reliable your power is.
Outages are Oncor's job, not your provider's. Call 888-313-4747, available 24/7, or text OUT to 66267. Oncor's outage and weather page is the place to look online. Our explainer on TDU delivery charges covers what Oncor's charges pay for.
There's no single best electric company in Cedar Hill. The right one is whichever has a plan that matches your usage. Each plan below appears in our Cedar Hill table, shown with average prices at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, checked November 4, 2026.
1,000 kWh or more every month: Frontier Saver Plus 12 and Maxx Saver Value 12 share the lowest price in the table (20.3¢, 7.4¢, 13.4¢).
Two years of price certainty: Frontier Saver Plus 24 (21.3¢, 8.4¢, 14.5¢) and Maxx Saver Value 24 (22.0¢, 9.0¢, 15.1¢) work on the same credit principle, so steady usage still matters.
Smaller homes or a plan with no credit: each plan we can quote from our Cedar Hill table this month is a bill-credit plan, so none is a good match for a home that often stays under 1,000 kWh. On Power to Choose, the cheapest Oncor-area 12-month plans without a credit cost 11.8¢ to 12.4¢ whatever the usage.
Fully renewable power: our Cedar Hill table has no 100% renewable plan this month. For green power, Power to Choose had 43 Oncor-area plans at 100% renewable on November 4, and our reviews of Gexa Energy and Green Mountain Energy cover two providers built around renewable plans.
Prepaid or no deposit: the Cedar Hill table has no prepaid plan this month, and prepaid plans for the Oncor area were priced at 16.5¢ to 17.9¢ at 1,000 kWh on Power to Choose.
Price at least three plans at your real usage, and open each EFL on the day you sign to confirm the details. You can also browse all of our electricity provider reviews.
A fixed-rate plan holds your energy price steady for the full term, usually 12, 24 or 36 months, so a hot summer can't raise it. Cancelling early may cost an early termination fee (ETF). 4Change Energy's plans in our Cedar Hill table charge $20 per month left on the contract, and every EFL states the fee for its plan. Oncor's delivery charges can still change during a fixed contract, since the PUCT sets them.
Variable-rate plans carry no contract term, so you can cancel whenever you choose, but the price can change each billing cycle. On Power to Choose on November 4, variable plans in the Oncor area cost 9.9¢ to 18.4¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh. They suit a short stay and carry the most risk going into summer.
A prepaid plan lets you pay before you use the power, with balance alerts and top-ups as you go, and no credit check or deposit. Our Cedar Hill table has none this month. On Power to Choose, Oncor-area prepaid plans cost 16.5¢ to 17.9¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh, a bit more than typical fixed plans. Our no-deposit electricity guide lays out the options.
Renewable plans are backed by renewable energy credits, often from Texas wind and solar farms. Of the 171 Oncor-area plans on Power to Choose on November 4, 43 were 100% renewable. Browse our green energy plans and check the renewable content line on the EFL.
Time-of-use plans lower the price at certain times, often overnight or on weekends, which can suit electric vehicle charging at home. Six were on Power to Choose for the Oncor area this month. Solar buyback plans credit rooftop solar owners for power sent back to the grid; compare the credit rate, any monthly fee and how leftover credits are treated.
