A spare bedroom that doubles as an office, a garage where an EV charges overnight, a pool running through August. Each of these changes what a household needs from a plan. Gexa Energy carries enough structures to match those differences with competitive pricing. The current lowest available Gexa Energy price in Plano at 1,000 kWh is 8.9¢ per kWh, while the average available price across qualifying plans is 16.6¢ per kWh.

Why Choose Gexa Energy in Plano

Plano households tend to ask a lot from their homes. Summer cooling, multiple devices, appliances, and everyday family routines add up differently from one street to the next, and a plan built for an average household may not suit any of them particularly well. As an original Texas Retail Electric Provider (REP), Gexa Energy has served more than 1.8 million Texas households since 2001.1 With 25 years of experience, Gexa Energy offers:

Electricity Rates and Usage in Plano

Plano's housing stock leans toward larger suburban single-family homes, many of them three- and four-bedroom properties with pools and above-average square footage. That profile pushes monthly consumption higher than the benchmark most plan advertisements are built around. The average household in Plano uses approximately 1,426 kWh per month. Actual usage may be higher or lower depending on the size of the home, how many people live there, and how the household uses electricity. Gexa Energy has plan options designed for all of these lifestyles.

Electricity Plans in Plano, TX

Kilowatt-hours are only part of the picture. How steady consumption stays from month to month, and which home features need supporting, both shape which structure fits. The options below handle those variables differently.

Fixed-Rate Electricity Plans3

On a fixed-rate plan, the energy charge holds steady for the full initial contract term. Total bills still move as usage and other applicable charges move, but market conditions do not touch the energy charge during that window. In Plano, where demand can climb sharply between a mild Jun and the peak of a North Texas August, that fixed component removes one variable from an equation with several.

Usage Credit Electricity Plans

A usage credit plan rewards a specific consumption pattern. On qualifying Gexa Energy plans, a bill credit applies in any month usage reaches the threshold stated in the Electricity Facts Label. The credit posts automatically in cycles where the household meets that threshold, and it does not apply in cycles that fall short. Plano homes with usage that lands near the qualifying level in some months and below it in others should check several bills before enrolling, since exactly where that threshold sits determines how often the credit shows up.

Free Electricity Plans4

The value of this structure comes down to timing. Free Electricity plans designate specific periods when qualifying usage is free, as the Free 3-Day Weekends plan does. A household that concentrates laundry, dishwashing, and time at home into weekends may find the schedule lines up with how it already operates. Pricing outside the qualifying period works differently, so the Electricity Facts Label is worth reading before judging the plan on the free period alone.

Smart Thermostat and Incentive Plans5

A cooling system working through a North Texas summer makes the thermostat one of the more consequential controls in the house. Gexa Energy Saver plans include a Sensi® Touch Wi-Fi smart thermostat with professional installation at no additional cost. Gexa MyAccount and the Gexa Energy Mobile App add visibility into usage and account activity. For households moving between office days, work-from-home days, and school schedules, remote temperature control lets the cooling schedule track the actual routine rather than a fixed assumption.

Solar Electricity Plans6

For a Plano home with qualifying rooftop solar, Gexa Energy's solar buyback plans issue bill credits for eligible excess electricity exported to the grid. Eligibility requires a qualifying solar energy installation, a completed TDU Interconnection Agreement, and a bidirectional meter provisioned by the Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU). The Excess Energy Credit rate stated in the plan's Electricity Facts Label determines the amount credited. Review that document and the Product-Specific Terms before enrolling.

EV Charging Plans7

For most EV owners, the practical time to charge is after the car is back in the garage for the night. Gexa SavEV plans are built around that pattern, applying an energy charge credit to qualifying overnight charging. Vehicles must be compatible and paired with the Gexa365 platform. TDU delivery charges continue to apply normally to usage during those hours.

Variable-Price Plans3

When flexibility outweighs holding the same Energy Charge across a longer term, a variable-price plan offers the alternative. The Energy Charge can rise or fall month to month with market conditions. Monthly totals become harder to anticipate as a result, though the structure can suit shorter-term electricity needs or a household not ready to commit to a longer agreement.

Flat Rate Plans

A flat rate plan bills a consistent monthly charge while consumption stays inside the plan's specified range. Usage beyond that range brings additional Energy Charges on the overage. Usage history matters more here than almost anywhere else. A household with steady year-round consumption will evaluate this structure very differently from one whose usage climbs sharply between spring and summer.

What Impacts Your Monthly Electricity Bill

Two homes on the same Plano street can end up with very different electricity bills. The plan matters, but so does what happens inside the home every day.

  • Seasonal cooling and heating

    Air conditioning drives usage up through hot North Texas summers. Winter needs shift depending on the home's heating system and how cold the season runs.

  • Home size and efficiency

    Larger floor plans generally take more energy to cool. HVAC age, window performance, insulation, and other efficiency features all factor into how hard the system has to work.

  • Time spent at home

    Remote work, hybrid schedules, and school breaks keep lights, electronics, appliances, and HVAC systems running for more hours each day.

  • Larger electrical loads

    Pools, electric vehicles, second refrigerators, and similar equipment add a steady draw that appears month after month.

  • Plan structure

    Fixed-rate, variable-price, usage credit, and Free Electricity plans each calculate Energy Charges differently. Identical usage can produce different totals depending on which structure applies.

  • Current Oncor Electric Delivery Delivery Charges

    • Per kWh: 6.8673¢ per kWh delivered
    • Base fee: $4.06 per month (TDU meter charge)

Average Plano Electric Bills

Estimated electricity bills in Plano can vary based on seasonal energy use and the current price of your selected plan. Using Gexa's average available price of 16.6¢/kWh, the estimated average monthly electricity bill in Plano is $165.59. For a typical home, the average monthly bill is approximately $234, while apartment residents typically pay around $122 per month. This equals estimated annual electricity costs of $2,805 for a home and $1,466 for an apartment.

Estimated monthly bill across the year

HomeApartment

A typical Plano home's bill ranges from about $135 in Feb to $410 in Jul. For an apartment, bills range from $93 in Nov to $171 in Jan.

*The chart uses live plan pricing and seasonal usage data to provide a more accurate estimate than a static annual average. Estimates are modeled using Gexa's average available rate at 1,000 kWh and typical seasonal usage patterns. Actual bills will vary based on electricity usage, plan selection, and applicable TDU delivery charges.

How to Choose the Right Electricity Plan in Plano

A plan that works well for a neighbor may not make sense for a different home a block away. Starting with actual electricity habits, then comparing plans against those habits, produces a better match than working backward from an advertised rate. In Plano, that means weighing summer cooling, home size, remote work, EV charging, and how consistent consumption stays across the year.

Start With Your Home and Usage

Twelve months of bills reveal both the typical monthly total and how sharply that total swings between seasons. Both numbers matter when comparing plans, particularly ones with usage thresholds attached.

  • Home size and type: Square footage, layout, and number of stories all affect cooling load in a larger Plano home.
  • Cooling and heating: Air conditioning drives the summer peak, while the heating system determines what winter looks like.
  • Insulation and efficiency: HVAC age, windows, insulation, and any recent upgrades change how much electricity a home needs.
  • Number of occupants: More people in the home usually means more energy use from lighting, appliances, and electronics.
  • Daily routines: Remote and hybrid schedules keep systems running during hours an empty house would not.
  • High-energy features: Pools, electric vehicles, and large appliances can increase overall usage and may influence which plan structure works best.

Consider factors like:

Compare Plan Features, Not Just Price

Advertised price per kilowatt-hour opens the comparison rather than settling it. The mechanics underneath determine what a plan costs a specific household across a full term. Pay attention to:

  • Actual usage: The advertised rate often applies only at a specific usage level. Check the plan details for the average rate at a typical monthly kWh figure.
  • Contract length: Fixed-rate plans offer longer-term stability, while shorter-term or variable-price plans provide more flexibility.
  • Flexibility: Consider how long the household plans to stay in the home and whether a plan change may be needed before the contract ends.
  • Usage credit requirements: Check how often the household actually reaches the threshold a credit plan requires.
  • Credits and features: Free Electricity periods, smart thermostat incentives, solar buyback opportunities, and EV charging benefits each add value only when a household can use them.

The Electricity Facts Label (EFL) documents how pricing works at different usage levels, along with the terms, charges, and credits attached to the plan. Read it before enrolling.

Electricity Service in Plano

Retail Electricity Provider (REP)

The REP is the piece a household selects. Gexa Energy, as the chosen REP, sets the Energy Charge, issues the bill, manages the account, and handles customer support. Changing providers changes those terms.

Your Local Utility

Oncor Electric Delivery owns the poles, wires, and meters throughout Plano and physically delivers electricity to every address. The TDU is assigned by service address and cannot be changed, so Oncor's regulated delivery charges appear on every Plano bill at the same rate regardless of provider. Shopping REPs is where a household has leverage.

Report an Outage

An outage is a delivery issue, which puts it in Oncor's hands rather than the provider's.

FAQs About Electricity in Plano

Can I choose my electricity provider in Plano?

Yes. Plano sits inside the deregulated portion of the Texas market, which means licensed Retail Electric Providers (REPs) compete for the same households. A resident can weigh those providers on pricing, contract length, usage credits, and renewable energy options, then enroll with the one that fits. Delivery is handled separately and does not change with that selection.

How do I report a power outage in Plano?

Outage reports go to Oncor Electric Delivery rather than to Gexa Energy or any other REP, since Oncor owns the equipment that needs repair. Call 888-313-4747, text OUT to 66267 after registering for MyOncor Alerts, or file the report through Oncor's online tool. Questions about a plan, a bill, or an account go the other direction, to the Retail Electric Provider.

Who delivers electricity to my home in Plano?

Every Plano address falls within Oncor Electric Delivery's Transmission and Distribution Utility (TDU) territory, which covers Collin County. Oncor reads the meter, maintains the local lines, and restores service after outages. The Retail Electric Provider handles the plan, the billing, and customer support, which is the portion a household can shop.

What ZIP codes does Gexa Energy serve in Plano?

Gexa Energy serves the Plano community, including ZIP codes 75023, 75024, 75025, 75074, 75075, and 75093. Enter a ZIP code above to see the exact plans and pricing available at a specific address.

Can I switch to Gexa Energy without an interruption in service?

Power stays on through the entire switch. Oncor continues delivering electricity while the billing relationship moves to the new provider. Service on the new plan generally begins at the next scheduled meter read, or on a switch date the customer selects.

Is there a deposit or credit check to sign up?

Enrollment may include a credit check, and some applicants are asked for a deposit based on the result. Qualifying customers may be able to reduce or waive that deposit. Call 866-961-9399 to review the available options.
