Arlington sits squarely between Dallas and Fort Worth, which means Arlington households get hit with electricity marketing from every direction. Abundance offers one straightforward alternative: the rate we quote is the rate you pay, from your first bill through your last.

Arlington occupies a unique spot in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex: it's a major city in its own right, home to roughly 395,000 people, wedged directly between the two largest cities in North Texas. That location means Arlington residents are marketed to relentlessly by retail electricity providers competing across the entire DFW footprint. Teaser rates, bill credits with usage strings attached, and contracts with buried termination fees are all common here. Abundance was built for people who are tired of decoding them.
Arlington is also the largest U.S. city without a comprehensive public transit system, which shapes daily life around driving, single-family homes, and larger households. Bigger homes mean bigger summer bills, and that makes rate stability more than a nicety - it's a genuine budgeting tool when a North Texas July stretches over 100 degrees for weeks.
The city is defined by its Entertainment District, home to AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Six Flags Over Texas, and by the University of Texas at Arlington, one of the largest universities in the state. Together they create an unusually broad mix of long-term homeowners, young families, and a large student and renter population - each of which needs a different plan structure, and none of which is well served by pricing gimmicks.
If you're shopping primarily for your home, start with our residential electricity plans. If you're pricing power for a business near the Entertainment District or the Great Southwest industrial area, see commercial electricity plans.
A Driving City With Larger Homes
As the largest U.S. city without mass transit, Arlington is built around single-family homes and larger households. More square footage means higher summer bills, and a fixed rate that holds through August is real budget protection.
A Big Student & Renter Base
UT Arlington and the neighborhoods around it create one of the largest renter populations in the Metroplex. Month-to-month plans with no commitment and no early termination fee fit the way many Arlington residents actually live.
An Entertainment & Industrial Economy
From the Entertainment District to the Great Southwest industrial corridor, Arlington's commercial demand is substantial and varied. Abundance serves both small storefronts and larger operations on transparent terms.
Oncor Electric Delivery is the Transmission and Distribution Service Provider for Arlington and most of North Texas. Oncor owns and maintains the poles, wires, transformers, and substations that deliver electricity to every home and business in Arlington. This infrastructure function exists independent of which retail electricity provider you choose.
Arlington has operated under retail choice since 2002, when most of Texas opened to competition. Your monthly bill has two parts: a delivery charge set by Oncor that is identical no matter which provider you use, and an energy charge set by your chosen retail provider, like Abundance. The energy charge is the part you shop and compare - and it's the rate Abundance quotes and holds.
When you enroll with Abundance in Arlington, Oncor remains your physical utility. They read your meter, respond to outages, and maintain the lines. Abundance handles your billing, your rate, and your customer relationship. If your power goes out, you call Oncor at (888) 313-4747. For everything else, you call Abundance.
Same infrastructure: your choice of energy provider.
All Abundance plans available in Arlington are priced transparently, with no introductory rates that expire, no usage thresholds, and no fees that weren't disclosed at enrollment.
Lock your energy rate for the length of your plan. With Arlington's larger homes and long, hot summers, a rate that genuinely doesn't move from enrollment through August is the difference between a predictable budget and a July surprise. Your Oncor delivery charge is separate and set by the utility.
No long-term commitment required. Your plan renews monthly with no early termination fee - built for the way Arlington's large student and renter population actually lives. Lease transitions and moves shouldn't come with a penalty on your electricity plan.
Arlington's Oncor territory draws from the same ERCOT grid fed by West Texas and Panhandle wind. A renewable plan connects your home to that generation with the same transparent billing structure as any other Abundance plan - REC-backed, not vague marketing.

Arlington shoppers navigate one of the most competitive electricity markets in the country. Here's the context that helps you read past the marketing.
Arlington has had competitive electricity since 2002. Two decades in, the tactics are well-worn and experienced shoppers are looking for the provider that doesn't play games. Abundance's model is simple precisely because complicated plans benefit providers, not customers.
Sitting between Dallas and Fort Worth, Arlington gets marketing aimed at the entire Metroplex. That double exposure means more promotional plans to filter through - and more value in a provider whose pricing doesn't change after month four.
North Texas summers regularly push past 100 degrees for weeks. Combined with Arlington's larger homes and car-dependent layout, that drives electricity consumption well above spring and fall levels, making rate stability especially valuable July through September.
Arlington's economy spans the Entertainment District, healthcare, higher education, and the Great Southwest industrial corridor - one of the largest industrial parks in the country. All of it sits in Oncor territory and is eligible for Abundance commercial plans.
Arlington's commercial base is unusually diverse for a city its size. The Entertainment District anchors a hospitality and events economy around AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Six Flags. The Great Southwest Industrial District, straddling Arlington and Grand Prairie, is one of the largest industrial parks in the nation. And UT Arlington supports a steady base of research, healthcare, and professional services.
Abundance offers commercial electricity plans for Arlington businesses of all sizes within the Oncor service territory, from independent retailers and restaurants to multi-location operations. Fixed-rate commercial plans provide the budget certainty owners need to manage energy costs through Arlington's extreme seasonal demand swings.
For businesses with higher consumption, non-standard load profiles, or multiple locations across DFW, custom rate plans are available. Contact our commercial team directly to discuss a structure that fits your operation. Bilingual commercial support is available in English and Spanish.
Abundance Energy provides electricity plans across all Arlington neighborhoods and surrounding communities within the Oncor service territory, from downtown and the Entertainment District to the newer subdivisions on the city's edges.

Update: It takes a little work but, thanks to Irma and Heather, we were able to get things worked out. So far, so good. The enrollment was fast and easy. We'll see how the service rates.
Switched in March. First bill: exactly what they quoted. Second bill: same. Third bill: same. After two providers that pulled the rate-hike trick on me, this is what I was looking for.
It was extremely easy to sign up. I am looking forward to becoming a life long customer.
