Texas Business Electricity Rates: Compare Commercial Plans

Texas offers some of the most competitive business electricity rates in the country, thanks to the fully deregulated ERCOT market. Businesses in Oncor, CenterPoint Energy, AEP Texas, and TNMP territories can shop freely among dozens of licensed retail electric providers (REPs).

Commercial electricity rates in Texas typically range from 7 to 12 cents per kilowatt-hour for small to mid-size businesses, depending on usage volume, contract length, and current wholesale market conditions. Larger commercial accounts with peak demand above 50 kW may qualify for demand-based tariffs with even lower energy charges.

Texas REPs offer fixed-rate contracts, index-based variable pricing, and green energy options with renewable energy certificates. Many providers offer no-deposit enrollment for businesses with established credit history.

To get the most accurate rate comparison, have your most recent 12 months of electricity bills ready. Your average monthly kWh usage and peak demand in kilowatts are the two most important factors REPs use to determine your commercial rate quote.
