TYPES OF ENERGY PLANS
Electricity plan types available in Richardson
Fixed-rate plans
114 of the 120 plans in the Richardson market are fixed-rate, with the lowest at 7.2¢/kWh and an average of 15.27¢/kWh. Fixed rates hold the per-kWh price steady for the contract term, which helps households plan summer cooling costs.
Variable-rate plans
No variable-rate or month-to-month plans are listed among Richardson's 120 market plans, so no average price applies. Because summer bills in Richardson can rise sharply with air conditioning use, residents should confirm terms before choosing a provider.
Renewable energy
118 of the 120 Richardson plans are renewable energy plans, 22 of which are 100% green, at an average of 15.35¢/kWh. That average sits almost identical to the overall market average, so the green option carries little price premium.
Prepaid plans
Two prepaid plans are available in Richardson, averaging 19.68¢/kWh, which is higher than the market's overall average. Prepaid plans require payment before usage, so households with high summer air conditioning loads should monitor balances closely to avoid service interruption.
Time-of-use plans
Four time-of-use plans in Richardson average 15.96¢/kWh, with prices varying by time of day. Peak afternoon and evening hours cost more, and summer cooling demand often overlaps them.
Free nights & weekends
Free nights and weekends plans offer no energy charge during specified hours. Richardson's market data does not include counts or prices for this plan type, so no figures are reported here.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about energy in Richardson
As of Oct 10th, 2026, the lowest rate in Richardson is APGE's SimpleSaver 9 at 7.2¢/kWh, well below the 15.36¢/kWh market average. With 120 plans available, comparing offers can help you find savings.
Richardson's hot summers drive heavy air conditioning use, which typically raises electricity consumption and bills during peak months. Mild winters reduce heating demand compared to colder regions. Choosing a plan with predictable pricing can help you manage seasonal spikes in cooling costs.
Most Richardson homes are single-family houses (54% of housing) using about 1225 kWh monthly, so a 2000 kWh tier plan is generally recommended. Renters or smaller households with lower usage may prefer lower tiers. Consider green plans, 118 of 120 offered, priced nearly identical to average.
Compare plans regularly, since the lowest rate is 7.2¢/kWh versus the 15.36¢/kWh average. Run your AC at 78°F or higher, use smart thermostats, and seal drafts. Shifting laundry and dishwasher use to off-peak hours also reduces costs.
