Enter your ZIP code to verify your address is in Oncor’s deregulated territory. Princeton and surrounding Collin County communities qualify.

Compare Plans
Shop rates from 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 Princeton?
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.
