How to Get or Switch Murphy Electricity

-
Confirm Your Address & Check Your Contract
Enter your ZIP code to verify your address is in Oncor’s deregulated territory. Murphy and surrounding Collin County communities like Wylie and Sachse qualify.

-
Compare Plans
Shop rates from 20 providers. Compare at your actual usage level: apartments around 500 kWh, average homes 1,000–1,300 kWh, larger homes 2,000+ kWh. If you’re on an old plan or rolled onto a variable rate, switching could save $30–$65 per month.
-
Sign Up
Enroll online or by phone. You’ll need your service address, preferred start date, and a government ID. Your new provider files a switch request with ERCOT and Oncor, and service transfers on your next meter-read date — typically 1–3 business days. No one visits your home and the lights stay on the entire time.
Moving to Murphy?
Schedule your electricity at least 5 business days before your move-in date to ensure power is on when you arrive — especially important during the hot summer months. Many providers offer same-day or next-day activation for an additional fee if you’re in a time crunch.
Murphy Solar
Murphy gets about 4.9 peak sun hours per day. At the local average rate of 14.0¢/kWh, here's what a typical 7 kW rooftop system looks like.
Texas context: 152,730 homes in the state have already installed rooftop solar (1,149 MW of residential capacity).
Estimate assumes a 7 kW system at $2.75/watt and an 80% performance ratio. Over 25 years the system would net roughly $15,900 after its net cost. Run your exact address →

Are there renewable energy plans in Murphy?
Yes — several Murphy providers offer plans with partial or full renewable energy content through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). These RECs match your usage with wind and solar generation on the ERCOT grid. No equipment changes are needed. Oncor Electric Delivery delivers the power identically regardless of whether your plan includes renewable content. Check each plan’s EFL for the exact renewable percentage.

Oncor Electric Delivery’s delivery charges are regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and identical for all Murphy customers, regardless of supplier. These fees cover transmission, distribution infrastructure, and grid maintenance. When comparing Murphy electricity plans, the rates shown at 1,000 kWh typically include delivery fees. Review each plan’s Electricity Facts Label (EFL) for the full breakdown of supply versus delivery costs.
Should I choose a fixed or variable rate plan in Murphy?
Fixed-rate plans lock your supply rate for a set term (typically 3–36 months), protecting you from seasonal price spikes on the ERCOT grid. Variable-rate plans can change monthly based on wholesale electricity costs. In Murphy, fixed plans currently start at 6.7¢/kWh. Most energy advisors recommend fixed rates for budget predictability, especially heading into summer when Texas wholesale prices historically spike.
