Texas business electricity questions
How is Voltcheckr paid?
No separate fee: suppliers pay us a commission when a contract is signed. You sign your contract directly with the supplier you choose, and our commission is included in the rate that supplier quotes. Details are on our compensation page.
Do I need a bill to start?
No. Start with your business ZIP and a rough monthly usage to compare live rates. A recent bill helps confirm service details and billed usage. A supplier may ask for usage history or account information before it confirms an offer.
Can my business choose a supplier?
It depends on the service address and the utility that delivers power there. Many Texas addresses can choose a supplier. An address served by a municipal utility or co-op that has not opted into retail competition, or by a regulated utility outside ERCOT's competitive market, has no supplier choice. Your bill names your utility, our Texas service-area guides show who serves each area, or ask us to check the address.
How long does a quote take after I send a request?
Where the ZIP is in Texas retail-choice territory and live plans match your account, your plan options arrive by email within an hour; where none match, the account is priced by custom quote. Custom pricing is prepared the same business day when you ask inside advisor hours (7am–7pm CT, Monday–Saturday), otherwise the next business day.
What if I have multiple locations?
Send them in one request. A supplier can price several locations together and put them on one contract, and each address keeps its own meter and its utility's delivery charges. Ask us to price them together and one by one, so you can see which fits. Have each service address ready, and a recent bill for each if you have one.
Do you work with all business types?
Yes: restaurants, retail, offices, warehouses, places of worship, healthcare and small businesses. The service address decides, not the business type: a Texas address on lines open to retail choice can shop a supplier.
How long is a supplier quote good for?
Usually only for the day it is quoted. Supplier prices follow the wholesale electricity market, so a quote for the same account on another day can come back higher or lower.
What if my supplier goes out of business?
Your service continues. Under the PUCT's provider of last resort rule (16 TAC 25.43), ERCOT moves the account to a designated provider, which sends notice of when it starts serving you and on what terms. Its rate is generally higher than competitive offers, so pick a new supplier soon; ask us and we'll price your options.
Does a business plan come with an EFL, and what contract documents should I read?
Yes for a small commercial account, one with a peak demand under 50 kW: the rule that covers homes covers it too, so the plan comes with terms of service, an Electricity Facts Label and a Your Rights as a Customer document, and the label prints average prices at 1,500, 2,500 and 3,500 kWh a month. A larger account's terms are in the supplier's contract. Either way, read the price and what it includes, the term, the early termination fee, any usage band and the billing method before you sign.
Are business electricity rates different from home rates?
Yes. A home picks a published plan, whose Electricity Facts Label prints the same prices for every home in the utility's area. A business supplier prices each account on its own usage: how steady it is (its load factor), its size, the term and start date, and the account's credit, so two businesses can be quoted different rates the same day. Whether a business is also billed for demand, a charge on its peak use, follows its utility's tariff and its contract.
When is the best time of year to lock a business electricity rate?
Plan around your contract's end date, not the calendar: we found no public data showing a month when Texas business offers run reliably lower, and we do not forecast prices. Wholesale power has usually cost most in summer, when demand is high, but a fixed contract of 12 months or more covers summer whichever month it starts. Compare offers before your end date, since a new contract can be priced to start the month your current one ends.
What do Texas businesses pay for electricity on average?
The average Texas commercial account paid 8.47¢ per kWh all-in, supply and delivery together, versus 14.53¢ nationally (EIA, 07/2026), and used about 9,701 kWh a month (EIA, through 2026). Supplier quotes may price supply alone, so they are not always directly comparable to that all-in average. That usage average mixes corner stores with hospitals, so any one business varies widely. Businesses in deregulated Texas territory choose their electricity supplier, and delivery stays with the local TDU with any supplier.
