Thanks to deregulation, you can browse energy rates from many different Plano electricity providers. Here are today’s most affordable electricity companies in the city on our marketplace:

• Frontier Utilities: Offers various fixed-rate plans with bill credit incentives.

When exploring electricity plans in Plano, you might encounter unfamiliar deregulated energy terms. To help you shop with confidence, we’ve defined the most important concepts. To learn more about a specific topic, you can call our energy experts via the number on your screen. They can serve as a guide to the deregulated market and help you find the best energy options in your area.

• Fixed vs. variable rates: If you sign up for a plan with a fixed rate, your electricity rate will remain consistent for your entire contract period. With a variable-rate plan, the rate is tied to the electricity market and can fluctuate from month to month.
• Plan length: Fixed-rate plans come in multiple term lengths. Some of the most popular include 12, 24, and 36 months. If you cancel one of these plans while the contract is still active, you’ll usually receive an early termination fee (ETF). Variable-rate plans don’t have contracts — you can switch providers or plans whenever you’d like (with no penalty fee).
• Same-day energy deadlines: If you need power quickly, many energy companies in Plano offer same-day service connections (only if you have a smart meter). Typically, you’ll need to contact the provider by a certain time to activate your plan on the same day. Want to learn more about same-day electricity? Call our experts at the number on your screen.
• Renewable energy options: Texas is the country’s top producer of wind power and a leading producer of solar power. As a result, you can find many green electricity plans in Plano. The providers of these plans typically buy renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset your electricity consumption.
• Electricity Facts Label (EFL): Every Texas electricity plan comes with an EFL. This document highlights the most important plan details, including the rate, term length, early termination fees, and other costs.
• Your usage needs: Many energy plans are divided into three usage tiers, with a different rate for each tier. In other words, if you use 500–999 kWh, you’ll pay a set rate, but if you use 1,000–1,999 kWh, you might pay a different price. For that reason, it’s useful to know your typical monthly energy usage before buying a new plan.

When is the best time to shop for a Plano energy plan?

If you want the cheapest Plano electricity rates, we recommend shopping when demand is low (because that’s when prices tend to drop, too).
