Frisco Electricity Rates & Provider Reviews

Provider evaluations

Best Electricity Providers in Frisco

Frisco customers can choose from dozens of retail electricity providers, all delivered by Oncor. These are six we consider worth evaluating, each with a distinction drawn from our own review of pricing, transparency, customer experience, and renewal practices.

Plan types

Compare Frisco Electricity Plans

Frisco electricity plans can be structured very differently. The lowest advertised rate is not always the lowest-cost option for your home, so compare how each plan works before choosing one.

• Flat Fixed-Rate Plans

  One rate that applies at every usage level, with no bill-credit thresholds or time-of-day pricing: the most predictable structure and the easiest to compare. It's a solid default for most Frisco homes. The tradeoff is that the flat rate often isn't the lowest number you'll see advertised.

• Bill Credit Plans

  These apply a credit when your monthly usage lands in a set range, which can produce a very low effective rate at that level. They can suit homes with steady, predictable usage that reliably hits the credit. The risk is that your effective rate can rise sharply in any month your usage falls outside the qualifying range.

• Time-of-Use Plans

  Prices or credits depend on when you use electricity, for example free nights or weekends. They can pay off for households that can shift meaningful usage, like EV charging or laundry, into the discounted window. The tradeoff is higher pricing the rest of the day, so the savings only appear if your habits match the plan.

• Renewable Energy Plans

  Backed by renewable energy, and available across fixed, bill-credit, and time-of-use structures. They're a fit if sourcing your electricity from renewables matters to you. Keep in mind that “renewable” describes the energy source, not the price, so still compare the underlying pricing structure. Renewable doesn't necessarily mean inexpensive.

Why Frisco Electricity Is Different

Frisco has added tens of thousands of new homes in the last two decades. New construction changes how you shop: you may not know your usage yet, and part of the city is outside Oncor's area.

• Check your utility first

  Parts of Frisco are served by an electric cooperative instead of Oncor. Most cooperatives have not opted into retail choice, so if your address is outside Oncor's area you buy electricity from the co-op and can't pick a provider.

• New construction

  A brand-new home has no usage history. Start with a straightforward fixed-rate plan and check your first few bills before committing to a structure that depends on hitting a usage range.

• Larger homes

  Many Frisco homes are large, newer houses where summer usage regularly passes 1,000 kWh. Compare the 2,000 kWh rate, not only the advertised one.

• Electric vehicles

  Home EV charging adds meaningful usage. A time-of-use plan can help, but only if most of the charging happens in the discounted hours.

Local utility

Oncor in Frisco

Oncor is the transmission and distribution utility for most Frisco homes. You choose a retail electricity provider that sets your rate and plan; Oncor delivers the electricity over its poles and wires and restores power after outages, no matter which provider you pick. That is why the plans and rates on this page are shown for the Oncor service area.

Report outages to Oncor, not your retail provider. Because Oncor's delivery charges differ from other Texas utilities, the same provider can quote a different price in Frisco than in Houston or Corpus Christi. More on Oncor →

Moving

Moving to Frisco? Here's What to Know About Electricity

Most Frisco residents can choose their retail electricity provider, while Oncor delivers the power to your home no matter which provider you pick. You can set up service before you move in. Here is the short version.

• You choose the provider. Frisco is part of the deregulated Texas market, so you compare and pick a retail electricity provider. Oncor still delivers the power to your address no matter which one you choose.
• Set up service before move-in. You can generally select a provider and schedule your start date ahead of time, so the electricity is on when you arrive instead of being a last-minute scramble.
• Match the plan to your usage. Choose based on how your new home actually uses electricity, not simply the lowest advertised rate.
