Texas Business Electricity Rates 2026: Compare Commercial Plans

Texas businesses operating in the deregulated ERCOT market can choose their electricity supplier from more than 50 licensed Retail Electricity Providers (REPs). This competition keeps commercial electricity rates lower than regulated markets and gives businesses the ability to lock in fixed rates for 12 to 36 months.

Commercial electricity rates in Texas vary by business tier. Small businesses using under 10,000 kWh per month typically see rates between 9 and 13 cents per kWh. Mid-market accounts in the 10,000 to 100,000 kWh range often qualify for 7 to 10 cents per kWh. Enterprise and multi-location accounts above 100,000 kWh per month may negotiate custom rates below 7 cents per kWh through broker channels or RFP processes.

Your utility territory determines which REPs are available at your service address. Oncor serves the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and North Texas. CenterPoint Energy covers Houston and surrounding counties. AEP Texas serves South Texas including Corpus Christi and Laredo. TNMP (Texas-New Mexico Power) covers selected areas of South and West Texas.

Switching REPs in Texas is seamless — there is no service interruption, no technician visit, and your utility continues to deliver power through the same infrastructure. Businesses that actively shop their electricity contract at renewal typically save 10 to 30 percent compared to businesses that accept auto-renewal at above-market rates.
