Quick answers

Plano electricity questions, answered

As of August 2026, plans we offer in the Oncor territory average 15.3¢ per kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly use, and today’s lowest effective rate is 6.8¢. Advertised rates move with your usage, so price plans at your own numbers.

Yes — most Plano 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 Plano 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.

Did You Know?

HISTORICAL

Plano was founded in 1845 by European settlers who were drawn to the area's rich blackland prairie soil, perfect for farming. The city's name comes from the Spanish word for 'flat,' describing the level terrain that made it ideal for agriculture. By the 1870s, Plano had become a major grain shipping center when the Houston and Texas Central Railroad established a depot there.

RECENT

In 2019, Plano completed the massive Legacy West development, a $3 billion mixed-use project that transformed 250 acres into a modern urban center. The development includes corporate headquarters for major companies like Toyota North America, Liberty Mutual, and JPMorgan Chase, along with luxury shopping, dining, and residential spaces that have redefined the city's skyline.

FAMOUS PEOPLE

Plano is the hometown of numerous celebrities including actress Jessica Simpson, who grew up there and attended J.J. Pearce High School. The city has also produced NFL stars like Matthew Stafford (Detroit Lions quarterback) and Andrew Luck (former Indianapolis Colts quarterback), both of whom played high school football at Plano-area schools before achieving national fame.

DID YOU KNOW

Plano holds the unusual distinction of being featured in a 2005 documentary called 'The World's Most Perfectly Planned Community' due to its meticulous urban planning and low crime rates. The city was so well-designed that urban planners from around the world have studied its development model, and it's been used as a template for suburban communities in countries as far away as China and India.

CULTURAL

Plano has earned the nickname 'Balloon Capital of Texas' because it hosts one of the largest hot air balloon festivals in the state each September. The Plano Balloon Festival attracts over 100,000 visitors annually and features more than 30 hot air balloons, making the city's flat terrain and favorable wind conditions perfect for ballooning. The event has become so iconic that the city's logo features a hot air balloon silhouette.
