October 2026 Princeton Market Update

The best Princeton electricity plans to help you save this October.

October is a shoulder month in Princeton: mild weather, low demand, and historically the best time of year to shop. Rates signed now tend to beat what you would see once summer or winter demand kicks in, so this is the window to lock in.

Our energy analyst team recommends these plans right now:

Cheapest electricity rate

The cheapest electricity rate in Princeton is 6.9¢ per kWh for 12 months, from APG&E.

It's a $125 bill credit plan (credit applies from 1,000 kWh), so the 6.9¢ rate is effective only in a narrow band of usage.

The lowest advertised rate we track right now.

Best 12-month fixed rate

Think Energy's Think Clean 12 with Smart Thermostat Connected at 13.4¢ per kWh for 12 months.

The best rate for a plan that does not rely on bill credits. Safe, predictable, cheap.

Best 24-month plan for long-term stability

Think Energy's Think Clean 24 with Smart Thermostat Connected at 14.1¢ per kWh for 24 months.

Two years of a flat fixed rate. No bill credits mean no bill shock.

Princeton Energy Plans

There are over 200 plans across 40+ providers currently available in the Princeton Market. They range from 1 month variable rate plans to 60 months in duration. The easiest way to break all this down is into three categories.

Fixed Rate Plans

Fixed rate plans have terms ranging from 3 to 36 months, and provide a "fixed" rate for your electricity usage.

Variable rate or Month to Month plans

Variable rate plans change on a monthly basis. They are good for those who need short term flexibility,, and cannot commit to a long term contract. Variable rate plans change monthly and may double or triple if there is a weather event. (And we've had a few in the last 5 years). We do not recommend these plans.

Pre-paid Plans

For those who have not built credit, or want to avoid paying a deposit, there are pre-paid plans. Prepaid plans require that you establish an account and fund a balance. Usually $25-$50. Once the account is funded, your electricity is turned on and every day your balance is reduced by the cost of electricity used that day. The provider will contact you via text, app and automated calls to add money to your account as the balance changes.

Over 30% of the energy produced in Texas is from renewable energy resources such as solar, and wind. In fact, Texas produces more green energy than any other state. And is one of the reasons that Texas has some of the lowest electricity rates in the US.

Every Texas energy provider has about 20% green energy in their mix of energy sources. You can see this in the Fuel Mix section of any Texas Electricity Plan EFL (Electricity Facts Label).

Most Texas electricity companies have a 100% green / renewable energy plan, where 100% of the energy you buy supports renewable energy generators.
