Yes — most Celina addresses have smart meters, so orders placed by 5 p.m. on a business day can start the same day. Pick your start date at checkout, up to 90 days ahead.

Compare effective rates at YOUR usage, not advertised rates — fees and bill credits bend each plan differently. Check the contract length and cancellation fee, then confirm delivery charges are included. The tables on this page do all three, and checkout takes about ten minutes.

Yes. Texas law gives you a 14-day window before your contract end date to switch with NO early-termination fee. Find your end date on your bill, then shop it today — the expensive move is drifting onto a holdover rate.

It changes with your usage. The lowest effective rate we price in Celina today is 6.8¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh — but a plan that wins at 1,000 kWh can lose at 2,000. Enter your ZIP and usage to see which company is cheapest for your home.

How to find the best energy plan in Celina

#1 rule: Know your usage!

Determining the amount of energy you will consume month-to-month is the best way to find a deal on energy in Celina. Why should you care?

The “price per kWh” you see electricity companies advertising is for an exact monthly usage (usually 1000 kWh).

Every plan uses a different calculation for how your monthly statement is computed, and your monthly bill will vary depending on how much power you consume in the month.

Unless you use the advertised amount each month, you will end up paying a “price per kWh” different than what you saw when you enrolled.

Thankfully, there’s a better way to pick your power rate.

Calculating your total monthly bill based on anticipated monthly usage, then comparing rates by the total monthly bill is the best way to shop for the best rate for you.

Better still, if you have a year of usage history for your household, you can compare plans by total annual cost. This annualized method considers the changes in usage between the summer and winter months and is the ideal way to find the perfect electricity plan for your home.

Compare Power does all the complicated math for you in an instant. What takes hours on a spreadsheet is now done in a few seconds.

We put the power in your hands, taking what would amount to hours of research, spreadsheets, and calculations across hundreds of plans and navigating you step-by-step to the energy rate plan that’s best for your home’s consumption.

We clarify the fine print, disclosing the various charges, so you’ll know exactly where your money is going and what to anticipate on your bill.

We then help you order your plan with your chosen power provider without ever having to leave our service.

The takeaway here is you should understand your expected or historical usage before picking the right electricity plan for your home.

If you don’t know your usage, estimate

Suppose you recently purchased a home or business and cannot obtain 12 months of usage history. In that case, you can always estimate the average energy you will use in any given month.

While not as optimal as having all the previous 12 months of usage, estimating your average usage is better than blindly choosing the first plan you see advertised by an energy provider at a specific usage that isn’t what you’ll consume.

Use Compare Power to shop for the best electricity plan for your**specific usage.

Moving to Celina: Setting up electricity

If this is your first time setting up electricity service in Celina, to get the best rate, you need to get the previous 12 months of energy usage for your new home.

Ask the previous homeowner to provide you with their past 12 months of usage.

This information is readily found in recent billing statements.

Acquiring usage for the past 12 months may take effort, but the time (and savings) will be well worth it.

Once you have historical usage, Compare Power will do the math instantly to help you find the best plan for your home’s usage pattern.

Note: If you can’t obtain a usage history, you can estimate your monthly usage instead. Utilize our “Help Me Choose” tool when you enter your zip code below, and we’ll help you evaluate your home’s usage.

Sign-up for a plan in minutes through Compare Power. We will remind you when it’s time to come back to switch and save at the end of the plan length you decide on.

Switching electricity companies in Celina

Switching is good. Market conditions are constantly changing, so it is essential to shop for a lower rate yearly when your contract expires.

Your existing energy company will typically raise your energy rate once your term expires. If you fail to take action, you’ll be left on a month-to-month rate significantly higher than the plan you signed up for.

Before renewing your contract, shop the rates of competing energy companies.

Switching can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars yearly on your electricity bill.

Switching is easy:

When you make the switch, your new energy provider will take care of everything for you, including canceling service with your previous company.

Your lights stay on when you switch. Electricity in Celina is all delivered by the Oncor Transmission and Distribution Utility.

The wires and poles that deliver electricity to your home do not change when you switch energy companies. Therefore the reliability of your service is not affected.

You can pick any date up to 14 days early from your current contract’s end date without an “early termination” penalty. That’s Texas Law.

If you’re still under contract, find out how many months remain on your contract. You can set a future start date with most companies up to 6o days in advance.

The amount saved each month by switching to a different electricity company may outweigh the one-time fee to get out of your contract early.

If you are unsure, email us your latest energy bill, and one of our team members will respond to you promptly with your best options.

If you’re ready to switch and want to know how to find the best plan, remember that knowing your usage is the best way to find the best rate.

You will want to gather your past usage for the past 12 months to determine the best plan with the lowest rate for your household.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Celina was founded in 1876 when the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad built through the area, originally named after Celina, Tennessee, the hometown of an early railroad official. The town began as a farming community specializing in cotton and grain, with the railroad depot serving as the economic heart that transformed it from prairie land into a thriving agricultural center.

RECENT

Between 2010 and 2020, Celina experienced explosive growth of over 300%, making it one of the fastest-growing cities in Texas as Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex expansion reached the area. The city has approved multiple master-planned communities and commercial developments, including the massive Mustang Lakes development, transforming it from a rural farming town into a booming suburban community.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Country music star and American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson lived in nearby areas and performed at local venues around Celina during her early career. The city has also been home to several professional athletes, including NFL players who grew up playing football for Celina High School Bobcats before earning college scholarships and professional contracts.

DID YOU KNOW

Celina is home to one of Texas's most unusual annual events - the Cajun Fest, which seems completely out of place in North Texas but draws thousands of visitors each October. The festival started when a Louisiana family moved to Celina in the 1990s and convinced the city to let them host a small crawfish boil, which has now grown into a massive celebration featuring authentic Cajun food, zydeco music, and even alligator wrestling demonstrations.

CULTURAL

Celina maintains its small-town charm through its historic downtown square, which still features the original 1920s courthouse and hosts a popular farmers market every Saturday morning. The city has preserved many of its original buildings while embracing growth, creating a unique blend where century-old structures sit alongside modern developments, and longtime farming families now live next to tech workers commuting to Dallas.
