Oncor still owns the poles, wires, and meters and restores outages no matter which plan you pick. Your retail plan only sets your price, term, and billing.
Pricing varies by ZIP and usage from Historic Downtown and Stonebridge Ranch to Adriatica and Craig Ranch, so a smart comparison starts with your address, not a single "McKinney average."
McKinney sits in Collin County, north of Dallas, where Oncor Electric Delivery is the regulated Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU). They own the poles, wires, and meters, restore outages, and set the delivery charges that are the same for every retail provider.
From Historic Downtown McKinney to the newer master-planned neighborhoods, the city runs on the Oncor grid. Whichever retail plan you choose, Oncor still delivers the power and restores outages, so you are free to pick Ambit purely on price and rewards.
Serving Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, Adriatica, and the Historic Downtown district. Enter your ZIP to see the exact plans at your address.
McKinney is the county seat of Collin County and one of the fastest-growing large cities in the country, sitting about 32 miles north of Dallas in the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. Its Historic Downtown district, with brick storefronts and a courthouse square dating to the late 19th century, anchors a city that has paired small-town character with rapid suburban growth. As more families and employers move to North Texas, McKinney homeowners benefit from retail electricity choice, the ability to shop the open market for their own plan instead of taking whatever a single utility offers.
That growth shows up on the grid. New rooftops across Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and Adriatica all connect to the same Oncor delivery network, and every one of those homes is free to choose its own retail provider. Comparing plans by your exact ZIP and usage is the difference between a guess and a rate that actually fits your home.
Report outages to your local utility, Oncor, at (888) 313-4747 — not to your retail provider. They restore power no matter which plan you have.
No. Oncor keeps delivering power without interruption while your new plan simply begins billing.
Oncor Electric Delivery is the Transmission and Distribution Utility for McKinney and the surrounding Collin County area. They manage the lines, outages, and delivery regardless of your retail plan.
Enter your ZIP to see the plans available at your address. Rates and availability vary by ZIP and by how much electricity your home uses.
