Princeton Electricity Providers
We’ve compared rates and plans from 35 retail electricity providers (REPs) serving Princeton’s Oncor territory.

Your REP handles billing and customer service; Oncor delivers the power regardless of which provider you choose, so switching never affects reliability.
Princeton Business Electricity Rates
Princeton’s fast-growing Collin County economy — with distribution warehouses, new housing developments, and a growing retail sector — means competitive electricity rates matter. Whether you run a warehouse, a retail shop, or a service business, deregulation lets you shop dozens of providers for the best commercial rate.
Unlike residential plans with standardized pricing tiers, Princeton commercial electricity rates are custom-quoted based on your business’s usage profile, demand patterns, and contract terms. That means a 3-minute quote request can unlock business rates you’d never see on a residential comparison page.
How to Get or Switch Princeton Electricity
Whether you’re moving to Princeton or switching from an existing provider, the process is the same and takes about five minutes. Your new retail provider handles the coordination with Oncor — you don’t need to call anyone else, and there’s zero interruption to your power.
-
Confirm Your Address & Check Your Contract
Enter your ZIP code to verify your address is in Oncor’s deregulated territory. Princeton and surrounding Collin County communities qualify. If you’re switching from an existing plan, check your contract end date and early-termination fee — most ETFs are $50–$200, and you can switch penalty-free within 14 days of your contract end.
-
Compare Plans
Shop rates from 35 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.
Princeton Solar
Princeton gets about 4.9 peak sun hours per day. At the local average rate of 13.4¢/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 $14,200 after its net cost. Run your exact address →
