The title tag does not change. It already matches the recommended pattern, including the dated suffix — the only thing to confirm is that the month is driven by the Month/Year placeholder rather than typed. Only the description is rewritten. The replacement is 152 characters and spends every one of them on the three things this SERP is asking about: today’s lowest rate, what a typical Irving home pays, and which plan type fits. It also keeps the deliberate split between the title’s “cheap” targeting and the H1’s “compare” targeting.

Every dynamic block on this page is built for ZIP 75061. That is the single prerequisite the rest of the page depends on: the featured cards, the rate table, all seven plan-type tables and the ranked provider roster are all drawn from one query, at one timestamp, at that one ZIP. Where a figure below is illustrative rather than generated, it is flagged.
Power Wizard has rates in Irving ranging from [Lowest Rate Short Code] to [Highest Rate Short Code] per kWh. Our electricity experts pick one plan for each of the three ways Irving homes actually use power.
6.5¢ / kWh
APG&E SimpleSaver 11. Fixed rate, 11 months, no usage threshold to hit.
Choose Plan6.7¢ / kWh
4Change Energy Maxx Saver Value 12. Bill-credit style plan — check the threshold on the EFL before choosing.
Choose Plan13.5¢ / kWh
BKV Energy Lantana 11. No minimum-usage fee, suited to apartments and smaller homes.
Choose Plan[VERIFY — cards 2 and 3 need 500 kWh and 2,000 kWh effective rates, which the feed does not expose. The plans shown are the closest fit from the 75061 table at 1,000 kWh and the two labels are an assumption until those rates exist. Either relabel them to something the 1,000 kWh data supports, or record that two of the three are assumptions]
Three cards need three reasons, not three prices. The selection rules are fixed so two cities cannot resolve a tie differently: lowest effective rate at 1,000 kWh among fixed plans with no usage threshold; lowest at 2,000 kWh with bill-credit plans eligible; lowest at 500 kWh with no minimum-usage fee. Ties break on effective rate at that card’s usage level, then provider rating, then shorter term, then alphabetically. No plan appears in more than one card, and if fewer than three qualify, only the qualifying cards render.
Rates change often and vary by provider, plan, usage and ZIP. Some plans carry usage tiers, base fees or bill credits, so compare plans based on average usage patterns and read the Electricity Facts Label for the full cost structure before enrolling. The table below shows individual plan rates for Irving at 1,000 kWh.

*Updated for ZIP Code 75061. Pricing and plan offerings are subject to change. Monthly figures are based on 1,000 kWh usage and cover the energy portion only.
The rate above covers the electricity itself. Oncor charges separately to deliver it: [Base Charge Short Code] a month plus [Energy Charge Short Code] per kWh, which every Irving home pays on any plan. At 1,000 kWh that adds about $64 a month. [VERIFY — computed from Oncor’s current $4.06 base charge and $0.0603 per kWh. Both must be generated from the placeholders, never typed, because they change several times a year]
Why the column is named “Est. energy cost.” It multiplies the plan rate by 1,000 kWh, so it covers the energy portion and nothing else. Naming it “Est. energy cost” and adding the delivery-charge sentence underneath makes the basis explicit, so the figure reads correctly next to the all-in average further down the page. If the feed returns no plans, the table and the market line suppress together and the ZIP entry form is surfaced — never an empty table shell.
[WoW Rate Trend Shortcode 1]
Late summer is the last stretch of the highest-demand season on the ERCOT grid, and offers posted through September generally price that demand in. Dallas County runs a long cooling season that holds into the back half of September before easing through October and November. What to do this month. If your contract expires now, lock a fixed rate rather than letting it roll — a month-to-month rate carries the most exposure at the end of a summer peak. If it runs past November, wait for the shoulder season, when demand falls and rates typically follow.
Three parts, in this order: direction and magnitude from the placeholder, then the likely driver, then what a shopper should do about it this month. The driver sentence is the genuinely city-variable line — if it will not be written for Irving, cut it rather than asserting something generic. The section requires a prior-period figure: with no comparison period available, suppress the whole section rather than reporting a change of zero.
The first two bullets are placeholder-driven and bound to the rate table, so they cannot drift from it. The delivery-charge bullet is the one fact about Irving nothing else on the page states this early, and this block is the one most likely to be extracted whole into an AI answer.
A typical Irving home uses about [elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_monthly_kwh" format="number" decimals="0"] kWh a month and pays around [elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_monthly_cost"] at today’s average all-in rate of [Average Short Code Number] per kWh. Rates here start at [Lowest Rate Short Code], so anything in the lower half of that range is a good rate in Irving right now.
That is [elec_state city="Irving" type="percentage_vs_state"] against the Texas average of [elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_annual_cost"], and [elec_state city="Irving" type="percentage_vs_national"] against the national average of [elec_state city="Irving" type="national_annual_cost"].
That figure is a marketplace and usage average. A specific home’s bill depends on square footage, insulation and cooling load, and Oncor’s delivery charges apply on top of the energy rate on every plan. Irving’s housing stock splits harder than most cities: a Las Colinas or Urban Center apartment on 75038 or 75039 and a Valley Ranch home topping 2,000 square feet on 75063 sit on opposite sides of that average, so read it as a midpoint rather than a forecast for your address.
| Home size | Typical monthly usage | Expected monthly bill | Where to look |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment or 1–2 bedrooms | pending | pending | the “Best for low usage” card above |
| 3 bedrooms | [elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_monthly_kwh" format="number" decimals="0"] kWh | [elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_monthly_cost"] | the “Best overall in Irving” card above |
| 4 or more bedrooms | not yet sourced | not yet sourced | the “Best for high usage” card above |
The city-keyed placeholders above return Irving-level figures only; there is no per-home-size equivalent. The 3-bedroom row therefore carries the Irving city average as an interim and is not a figure specific to a 3-bedroom home. The apartment and 4-or-more-bedroom rows cannot be populated until per-home-size usage and cost values exist. The last column names a card, never a plan — a plan named in running prose has no placeholder behind it and would contradict the live table on the same page.
[VERIFY — every usage, bill and comparison figure in this section renders from the average-bill content placeholders shown, which have never run on this page. They need adding with the city value set to Irving before the section can ship, and three points need confirming with the development team first. One, the prefix: Power Wizard’s own shortcode documentation uses elec_stat and elec_state interchangeably in the same list, and a wrong prefix renders as literal text on the live page rather than a number. Two, the Texas-average slot: as written the comparison sentence uses city_annual_cost where it describes the Texas average, which would render Irving’s own annual figure under a Texas label — confirm whether a state-level type should be used instead. Three, per-home-size data does not exist, which is why two rows of the table above are unpopulated. No figure has been invented anywhere in this section]
Open with the answer, in one independently quotable sentence. Then the state and national comparison, then the caveat — never a benchmark without one. The opening sentence already answers the question this section exists for; the home-size table beneath it is a refinement and only its middle row has a source today. The apartment row is the one that matters most on this page, given how much of Irving’s rental stock sits in Las Colinas and the Urban Center, and it is the row with no city-resolvable figure behind it — a Texas-wide number dropped into an Irving table would label state data as local, which is exactly the failure the caveat exists to prevent.
Providers display rates at three standard usage levels so plans can be compared consistently.
[Tiered Average Short Code Option 1] — renders as:
| Monthly usage | Average Marketplace Rate |
|---|---|
| 500 kWh | 17.7¢ |
| 1,000 kWh | 14.3¢ |
| 2,000 kWh | 14.9¢ |
[Average Short Code Chart]
[VERIFY — the 2,000 kWh tier sits above the 1,000 kWh tier. The same shape appears across several Oncor cities, so it is an Oncor-level data question rather than a question about this page. Confirm before publication, and do not write copy explaining the shape as though it were intended]
“Average Marketplace Rate,” never “Average Rate.” Power Wizard averages the plans in its own marketplace, not the whole Texas market, and the qualifier is what keeps that honest. This section sits directly after the benchmark so the benchmark makes its claim and this block shows the working. The chart needs at least six months of history; below that, suppress the chart and keep the three usage-level figures.
Maybe you’re in a townhome near the University of Dallas and rarely home during the day, or perhaps you work from home in a single-family home in Northgate. Just as those homes differ, so do the plans that suit them. These are the plan types you will see in Irving.
A fixed-rate plan locks your price per kWh for the whole contract term, so a hot Irving summer changes how much you use but not what you pay per unit. Unlike a bill-credit plan, there is no monthly usage target to hit.
[Plan Type Shortcode] — plan type: Fixed Rate Electricity Plans
These time-of-use plans give you free electricity during a set window, and the plan name tells you which one: nights, weekends, or three-day weekends. The free hours are paid for by a higher rate the rest of the time, so the plan only works if you can move real usage into the window.
[Plan Type Shortcode] — plan type: Free Nights Electricity
These bill credit plans apply a credit to your bill in any month your usage clears the plan’s threshold, which the Electricity Facts Label states. Clear it and the effective rate is among the lowest available anywhere on this page. Miss it and you pay the full rate with no credit at all.
[Plan Type Shortcode] — plan type: Bill Credit Plans
You pay into a balance before you use the electricity, with no deposit and no credit check. Service continues as long as that balance holds. A fixed-rate contract is cheaper per kWh than a prepaid plan, so prepaid is the route when credit or a deposit is the obstacle rather than the cheaper option.
[Plan Type Shortcode] — plan type: No Deposit Plans
Every plan below is matched with 100% renewable generation. Your home draws the same electricity from the same grid either way; the provider buys renewable credits to match what you use.
[Plan Type Shortcode] — plan type: Green Energy Plans
If you have rooftop solar, these plans credit you for the electricity you export back to the grid. The pairing that determines your annual bill is the import rate set against the export credit, and the Electricity Facts Label states both.
[Plan Type Shortcode] — plan type: Solar Buyback
A variable-rate plan has no locked rate. Your price per kWh moves with the wholesale market every month, so it can sit below a fixed rate through mild weather and climb sharply during an Irving summer or a winter freeze. We almost never recommend one.
[Plan Type Shortcode] — plan type: Month to Month Plans
Each block is the plan-type name as a real H3, the explanatory paragraph, then the plan-type table. No provider or plan is named in the prose — the table names them. If a plan-type table returns nothing for a city, the blurb still renders and only the table suppresses.
Texas’s deregulated electricity market lets Irving residents choose who sells them electricity. Some of the most popular electricity providers on Power Wizard’s marketplace include APG&E, Gexa Energy, and 4Change Energy.
We evaluate electricity companies on customer service, online account tools, and plan options, weighing factors like how easy it is to manage your account and pay your bill, how clearly plan pricing is presented, and what real customers report about their experience.

This is the highest-leverage section on the page after the benchmark. Company and provider phrasings carry roughly 1,930 searches a month in this market against 990 on the rate side, and they price between $7.00 and $30.00 a click against $3.00 to $6.00 — so the ranked table and the provider FAQs are carrying a larger commercial cluster than the rate tables are. Table one is ordered by fit, exactly five rows, one distinct superlative each, and no row is labelled “Best overall” — that phrase belongs to the first featured plan card and is awarded by a different rule. Table two carries no ordering claim and no superlatives. Every provider in both tables is purchasable at 75061. If the roster returns fewer than three providers, both tables suppress together; if it returns three to five, table one publishes alone.
You can shop around and switch providers at the end of your contract. ETFs may apply if you leave early. ETFs do not apply if you are moving, even if your contract has not been fulfilled, and they do not apply to anyone in the last two weeks of their electricity contract.
You have the power to choose who supplies your electricity, but not who delivers it. Your retail provider sells you the plan and bills you for it. The utility owns the poles, wires and meters, restores service when it fails, and is assigned by address rather than chosen.
In Irving that utility is Oncor Electric Delivery, and it cannot be switched. Oncor’s delivery charges are regulated and identical across every provider in its service area:
The two charge placeholders take a different utility identifier from every other placeholder on this page. If the charges do not render, that is the first thing to check — and if they return nothing, suppress the two bullets and keep the explanatory prose.
Your retail electricity provider cannot restore service. That is Oncor’s job, and Oncor serves every address in Irving.
Oncor crews cover the wider Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, so restoration times during a widespread event depend on how many customers are affected across the region rather than on which provider you buy from.
Running a business in Irving means watching overhead, and electricity is often a large part of it. You can shop business electricity plans the same way residential customers do — fixed-rate, market-indexed and renewable options are all available, often with commercial perks such as volume pricing, consolidated invoicing or a dedicated account manager.
Irving’s commercial base is unusually large for a city of its size. The Las Colinas Urban Center holds one of the bigger concentrations of corporate offices in Texas; the DFW Airport freight and logistics corridor runs along Royal Lane and Freeport Parkway; and the Toyota Music Factory and Irving Convention Center district carries a dense hospitality and small-business segment the office corridors do not. Usage profiles differ sharply across the three, so compare plans against your own load rather than on headline rate alone.
A typical Irving home uses about [elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_monthly_kwh" format="number" decimals="0"] kWh a month and pays around [elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_monthly_cost"] at today’s average all-in rate of [Average Short Code Number] per kWh. Rates here start at [Lowest Rate Short Code], so anything in the lower half of that range is a good rate in Irving right now. Every plan also carries Oncor delivery charges on top of the energy rate, so a very low advertised rate is a smaller saving than it looks.
The cheapest plan on the marketplace today is [Lowest Plan Short Code]. Rates run from [Lowest Rate Short Code] to [Highest Rate Short Code] per kWh. The cheapest plans are often bill-credit plans, which only beat a straightforward fixed rate if your usage clears the plan’s threshold every month, so read the Electricity Facts Label before enrolling.
No. Fifteen cents sits above Irving’s average Marketplace Rate of [Average Short Code Number] per kWh and well above the lowest rate on the marketplace today, [Lowest Rate Short Code]. At 15¢ a typical Irving home would pay more each month than the [elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_monthly_cost"] a household on the average rate pays. Compare the energy rate first, then add Oncor’s delivery charges, which are the same on every plan.
[elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_monthly_cost"] a month, roughly [elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_annual_cost"] a year. A typical Irving home uses about [elec_stat city="Irving" type="city_monthly_kwh" format="number" decimals="0"] kWh a month to get there. See the full breakdown of the average electricity cost in Irving.
The most common and most expensive cause is a contract that ended and rolled onto a variable month-to-month rate. After that: usage rising with North Texas cooling demand through the summer, or a change to the regulated Oncor delivery charges, which update periodically and apply on every plan. Check your last bill for the plan name and the contract end date before assuming it is usage.
There is no single answer, because the right one depends on how your home uses power — and in Texas, “light company” and “electricity provider” mean the same thing. On the Irving marketplace today, APG&E carries the lowest headline rate, Gexa Energy is the strongest pick for renewable plans, and 4Change Energy pairs low fixed rates with charitable giving. Compare them against your own usage rather than on headline rate alone.
In Irving you choose it. Oncor Electric Delivery delivers power to every address in the city and cannot be changed, but the retail provider that sells you the electricity is yours to pick from any company licensed to sell in Oncor territory. If you want to confirm which provider is on your meter today, an ESID lookup will tell you from your address.
Yes. Prepaid and no-deposit plans skip the credit check and the upfront deposit. The trade-off is honest: the per-kWh rate is generally higher than a fixed-rate plan, and service can be disconnected if the balance runs out. Compare them in the no-deposit and prepaid table above.
Irving runs a long cooling season from June through September that sets the annual peak for most homes here. Winters are mild by comparison, with short, sharp heating spikes during freeze events rather than a sustained heating season. Irving’s housing stock splits hard, so a Las Colinas apartment and a Valley Ranch home respond to the same August very differently — which is why your own usage matters more than the city average.
Every answer opens with a direct answer sentence before any explanation, because that is the shape that gets extracted. Any FAQ carrying a rate is placeholder-driven rather than hand-written, and the FAQ text and the FAQ schema are generated from one source — two sources means they will diverge.
The heading makes a proximity claim and the list keeps it: capped at 20, ordered by proximity then by that page’s search volume, Irving excluded from its own list. All nineteen links were confirmed live on September 22, 2026. DFW International Airport is deliberately absent — it sits partly inside Irving’s city limits and looks like a natural addition, but there is no page for it and one should not be pattern-matched in.
