TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Richardson
Fixed-rate plans
Richardson has 106 fixed-rate plans in the market, with an observed low of 7.2¢/kWh and an average of 15.16¢/kWh. Fixed prices hold for the contract term, which helps households budget through summer cooling months when Richardson usage peaks.
Variable-rate plans
No variable-rate or month-to-month plans are currently listed for Richardson, so the average shown as 0¢/kWh reflects absence of data, not a price. Prices on these plans would move with wholesale ERCOT market conditions.
Renewable energy
Richardson has 110 renewable energy plans, 22 of which are 100% green, averaging 15.25¢/kWh. The green premium is -0.02¢/kWh relative to the market average, so renewable options cost about the same as conventional plans for Richardson households.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans are available in Richardson, averaging 19.68¢/kWh, above the 15.16¢/kWh fixed-rate average. Prepaid plans require payment before usage, which helps households track spending during summer bills in the Oncor service area.
Time-of-use plans
Four time-of-use plans are listed in Richardson, averaging 15.96¢/kWh. These plans set different rates by time of day, so households that shift laundry, dishwashing, or EV charging to off-peak hours can align usage with lower-cost periods.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans set zero or reduced per-kWh rates during specified hours, which can shift cooling loads away from Richardson's summer afternoon peaks. Eligible hours vary by provider, so review plan terms before enrolling.
