Frequently Asked Questions
How are commercial electricity rates different from residential?
Commercial rates are typically 15–30% lower than residential rates due to higher usage volumes and different rate structures. Businesses often qualify for demand-based pricing, longer contract terms, and negotiated rates that aren't available to residential customers.
What information do I need to get a commercial electricity quote?
You'll need your business address (or ZIP code), your average monthly electricity usage in kWh, and your current rate if you have it. For larger businesses, your demand profile (peak kW) and load factor help providers offer more accurate pricing.
Can small businesses shop for electricity in Texas?
Yes. Any business in a deregulated area of Texas can choose its retail electricity provider, from a single storefront to a large warehouse. Small commercial customers (under 50 kW demand) typically choose from posted plans similar to residential offerings. Larger accounts get custom quotes.
How long are commercial electricity contracts?
Commercial contracts typically range from 12 to 60 months. Longer terms often secure lower rates because the provider can plan energy purchases further ahead. Multi-year contracts are common for businesses with stable, predictable usage patterns.
What is demand-based electricity pricing?
Demand pricing charges you based on your peak electricity draw (measured in kW) in addition to your total consumption (kWh). Businesses with high peak demand relative to total usage pay more per kWh. Flattening your demand curve — spreading usage evenly — can significantly reduce your commercial rate.
