FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in Princeton
As of Oct 24th, 2026, the lowest rate in Princeton is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 7.2¢/kWh, well below the market average of 15.26¢/kWh. With 115 plans available, including 113 green energy options, residents have plenty of choices to compare.
Princeton's hot, humid summers push air conditioning use sharply higher, which typically drives up electricity consumption and bills during peak months. Mild winters help moderate costs, but residents should budget for summer spikes and consider plans with predictable rates to manage seasonal swings.
Most Princeton homes are single-family residences using about 1225 kWh monthly, so a plan tier around 2000 kWh offers appropriate capacity. Since 113 of 115 plans are green and green plans sit only 0.02¢ above average, choosing renewable energy costs little extra.
Switching to a low-rate plan such as APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 7.2¢/kWh can cut costs substantially versus the 15.26¢/kWh market average. Also raise your thermostat in summer, use smart timers, and seal air leaks to reduce your roughly 1225 kWh monthly usage.
