Frisco, Texas Electricity Information

We currently offer electricity rates and plans in Frisco:

In the state of Texas, many cities have a deregulated energy market — Frisco, TX included. What this means is that energy consumers have the option to choose who supplies electricity to their home or business. This change came into affect in 2002 and encouraged many Retail Electricity Providers (REPs) set up shop and offer energy supply services. The greatest benefit to this change is that the REP companies opened up the energy market to competition.

​

A competitive energy market is established because the customers get to choose their REP. If an REP does not offer the best products, plans, rates and services, the customer is free to take or move their business over to another REP. Therefore, it is in an REP’s best interest to keep rates low and affordable, to attract and retain customers.

​
