How to switch in Waco

Four simple steps

  • Enter your ZIP — see the Ambit plans available at your address.
  • Compare the real rate — the price at the usage level your home actually runs.
  • Enroll online — pick a plan and sign up in a few minutes, no call required.
  • You are done — Ambit handles the switch with your provider. Your lights never go out, and there is no need to contact Oncor.

Oncor Electric Delivery 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.

What to compare on every plan

  • Price at 500 / 1,000 / 2,000 kWh — matched to your home size.
  • Minimum-usage fees — charges if you use too little.
  • Bill credits — the usage level where they kick in.
  • Term & early-termination fee — what leaving early costs.
  • Renewable content — the green percentage, if it matters to you.

Pricing varies by ZIP and usage from downtown and Sanger Heights to Hewitt and Woodway, so a smart comparison starts with your address, not a single "Waco average."

Who delivers your power in Waco

Waco sits in McLennan County and Central Texas, where Oncor Electric Delivery is the regulated Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU). Oncor owns the poles, wires, and meters, restores outages, and sets the delivery charges that are the same for every retail provider.

  • Report an outage: Oncor at (888) 313-4747 — not your retail provider.
  • Your Ambit plan only sets your price, term, and rewards.
  • Switching never interrupts your power or changes who fixes outages.

What this means for Waco homes

From downtown and the Brazos River corridor near Baylor University out to Hewitt, Woodway, and Robinson, the Waco area 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.

About Waco

Waco sits on the Brazos River in the heart of Central Texas, roughly halfway between Dallas and Austin along Interstate 35, and serves as the seat of McLennan County. It is best known as the home of Baylor University and of Magnolia Market at the Silos, the downtown destination built by Chip and Joanna Gaines that draws visitors from across the country. Beyond tourism and education, the Greater Waco economy leans on manufacturing and distribution, with operations from L3Harris Technologies and Coca-Cola alongside a SpaceX rocket-testing facility nearby. In a fast-growing market like this, retail electricity choice lets Waco homeowners shop the open market for their own plan instead of taking whatever a single utility offers.
