Top-Rated Electricity Providers in The Colony
We’ve compared rates and plans from 39 retail electricity providers (REPs) serving The Colony’s Oncor Electric Delivery territory in Denton County. Every provider listed below is licensed by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and offers plans you can sign up for today. Your REP handles billing and customer service; Oncor delivers the power regardless of which provider you choose, so switching never affects reliability.
Commercial & Business Electricity in The Colony
The Colony’s commercial landscape has exploded over the past decade, anchored by Grandscape — one of the largest mixed-use developments in the country. Nebraska Furniture Mart alone occupies over 560,000 square feet of retail space, and it shares the district with Andretti Indoor Karting, Scheels, dozens of restaurants, and a growing roster of entertainment venues. Add in the Five Star Complex drawing sports-tourism traffic year-round, lakeside restaurants and marinas along Lewisville Lake, and a wave of professional offices filling SH-121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway) corridor buildings, and The Colony offers a commercial electricity demand profile that ranges from high-volume retail to climate-controlled sports facilities.
Unlike residential plans with standardized pricing tiers, The Colony commercial electricity rates are custom-quoted based on your business’s usage profile, demand patterns, and contract terms. Whether you run a Grandscape storefront, a lakeside bar and grill, or a medical office off SH-121, a quick quote request can unlock business rates well below default utility pricing. The Colony businesses switching from holdover rates typically save 15–30% on electricity costs.
How to Switch Electric Companies in The Colony
Whether you’re moving to The Colony 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 Electric Delivery — 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. All of The Colony and the surrounding southern Denton County area — including nearby Frisco, Lewisville, and Little Elm — 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 The Colony’s 39 providers. Compare at your actual usage level: newer Grandscape-area apartments around 500 kWh, average family homes 1,000–1,200 kWh, larger lakefront or master-planned homes 1,500–2,000+ kWh. If you’re on an old plan or rolled onto a variable rate after contract expiration, 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. SH-121 makes it easy to handle any in-person errands in Frisco or Plano if needed.
Moving to The Colony?
Schedule your electricity at least 5 business days before your move-in date to ensure power is on when you arrive. If you’re deciding between an apartment near Grandscape and a single-family home closer to the lake, consider how your usage will differ: apartments typically use 500–700 kWh/month, while lakeside homes with larger square footage can top 1,200 kWh even outside summer. Match your plan length to your expected stay — a 12-month fixed rate works well for most renters, while homeowners often benefit from locking in 24–36 months.
The Colony Solar
The Colony 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, an 80% performance ratio, and the 30% federal tax credit. Over 25 years the system would net roughly $20,150 after its net cost. Run your exact address →
