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 Canyon Creek and Heights Park to CityLine and the neighborhoods near the University of Texas at Dallas, so a smart comparison starts with your address, not a single "Richardson average."
Richardson sits in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, where Oncor is the regulated Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU). Oncor is the largest utility of its kind in Texas. They own the poles, wires, and meters, restore outages, and set the delivery charges that are the same for every retail provider.
From the Telecom Corridor to the older streets of Canyon Creek, Richardson 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 Canyon Creek, Heights Park, Prairie Creek, CityLine, and the neighborhoods around UT Dallas. Enter your ZIP to see the exact plans at your address.
Richardson is an inner suburb of Dallas, straddling Dallas and Collin counties in the heart of the North Texas metroplex. It is best known as the home of the Telecom Corridor, a dense cluster of telecommunications, networking, and technology employers that gives the city one of the highest concentrations of jobs of any business center in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Major employers in insurance, healthcare, technology, and finance anchor the local economy, and the University of Texas at Dallas keeps the city young and growing.
Its neighborhoods range from mid-century streets in Canyon Creek and Heights Park to newer mixed-use development at CityLine, so the right electricity plan depends a lot on the size and age of your home. In a competitive Texas market, retail choice lets Richardson homeowners shop the open market for their own plan instead of taking whatever a single utility offers.
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.
