Frisco, Texas electricity: only part of town can choose a provider
Only part of Frisco is on the competitive market, so the first question for any Frisco address is whether Oncor or another utility serves it.
Last updated . Written by Power Hopper. Reviewed by Brent Ward, founder, on 2026-10-19. Data as of October 5, 2026 (meters) and October 19, 2026 (plan prices).
In short: Every Frisco-addressed home in ERCOT's competitive data is on Oncor's wires (29,171 active residential meters, October 5, 2026). Only part of Frisco is on the competitive market: that count compares with about 77,208 Census households in the city. The rest are likely served by an electric co-op or another utility without retail choice, so check your exact address.

Can every address in Frisco choose an electricity provider?
Only parts of Frisco are in retail-choice areas. Much of Frisco is served by CoServ Electric, an electric co-op, and co-op members can’t choose a retail provider. Before you shop, check the exact service address: enter it on the compare page, or look up the meter’s ESI ID (the ID number for an electric meter in ERCOT’s competitive market) with our ESI ID lookup. If the address has an active ESI ID on Oncor’s wires, it can choose a provider; if it has none, it is likely served by CoServ or another utility without retail choice.
Of the 29,171 Frisco-addressed competitive homes we can place by ZIP code, 29,171 (100%) are in the split ZIP codes 75035, 75034, 75033, 75068, 75036; on those streets, a neighbor may be on a different utility. The ZIP table below marks each one.
EIA’s 2024 data lists 7 other utilities (co-ops, city-owned or outside ERCOT) in the counties around Frisco; they are named on Collin County · Denton County. Their customers can’t choose unless the utility opted in.

Weather and electricity in Frisco
Typical weather near Frisco, from the nearest NOAA station with a complete 1991-2020 record: Richardson, about 12 miles from the city center (station elevation 678 ft). These are normals for that station, not readings at your address. August is the warmest month on average, with a normal daily high of 95°F; January has the coolest average low, 36°F. Average daily highs reach 90°F or more in June to August. No month averages a daily low at or below freezing.
For electricity, the normals point to two seasons that can lift a household's usage: cooling-degree days (a measure of how far each day's mean temperature sits above 65°F) peak in July at 614 for the month, and heating-degree days (below 65°F) peak in January at 595. How much that matters to a bill depends on the home, its insulation, its heating fuel and the household, so use your own usage history, not a regional average, when you compare plans.
| Month | Avg high °F | Avg low °F | Precipitation (in) | Cooling degree-days | Heating degree-days |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan | 56 | 36 | 2.8 | 2 | 595 |

Reference only: the U.S. Energy Information Administration's 2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey puts the average Texas household at about 13,440 kWh a year (about 1,120 kWh a month if spread evenly). That is a statewide average for 2020, not Frisco, and not an estimate for your home. EIA source.
