1000 kWh Electricity Plan Uptown Dallas: Compare 2026
If you live in ZIP code 75204, near Uptown or Old East Dallas, you already know your electric bill can swing wildly between July and January. A 1,000 kWh plan in 75204 typically costs between 6.7 and 19.9 cents per kWh, with the average Dallas rate sitting at 13.98 cents/kWh at that usage level as of this September, according to a live rate comparison for Dallas. That nearly 3x spread between the cheapest and priciest plans means choosing the wrong one can cost you hundreds of dollars a year for the exact same electricity.
