TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Princeton
Fixed-rate plans
Fixed-rate plans lock in one per-kWh price for the contract term, keeping bills predictable during Princeton's hot summer cooling months. Princeton has 114 of 120 plans, cheapest at 7.2¢/kWh, average 15.27¢/kWh.
Variable-rate plans
Princeton's market of 120 plans currently lists zero variable-rate or month-to-month options, so per-kWh prices are not reset monthly with wholesale market conditions. The recorded average of 0¢/kWh reflects that absence.
Renewable energy
Renewable energy plans number 118 of Princeton's 120 listings, with 22 offering 100% green supply. Their average price is 15.35¢/kWh, and the green premium sits at -0.01¢ relative to the market average.
Prepaid plans
Prepaid plans require payment in advance, with two options in Princeton averaging 19.68¢/kWh. That is higher than the 15.27¢/kWh fixed-rate average, so prepay customers typically pay a premium for pay-as-you-go flexibility.
Time-of-use plans
Time-of-use plans price electricity differently by hour, with higher rates during peak afternoon and evening periods. Four plans in Princeton average 15.96¢/kWh. Shifting laundry, dishwashing, or EV charging to off-peak hours may lower bills.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans charge no energy fee during set off-peak hours, useful for shifting flexible loads like laundry or EV charging away from daytime periods. Princeton's summer afternoons often drive peak cooling demand.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in Princeton
As of Oct 10th, 2026, the cheapest electricity rate in Princeton is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 7.2¢/kWh, well below the market average of 15.36¢/kWh. Princeton residents can choose from 120 available plans, including 118 green energy options.
Princeton's hot Texas summers push air conditioning use sharply higher, which can raise monthly kWh consumption and bills. Mild winters help somewhat, but heating demand still adds usage. Locking in a fixed-rate plan can shield you from summer price spikes and seasonal demand swings.
Since 85% of Princeton homes are single-family and most use about 1,225 kWh monthly, a 2000 kWh tier plan is recommended for most households. Green plans are priced just 0.01¢ below the market average, so renewable power costs virtually no extra.
Switching to a lower-rate plan such as APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 7.2¢/kWh can cut costs significantly versus the 15.36¢/kWh average. Also, run appliances during off-peak hours, use smart thermostats, and seal air leaks to reduce your roughly 1,225 kWh monthly usage.
