Austin is in Travis County, Central Texas. An Austin business on the lines of Austin Energy, the city-owned utility that has not opted into retail competition, buys on Austin Energy's commercial tariffs and cannot shop a retail supplier; Oncor also serves addresses in Austin, and a business at an address on Oncor's lines can, as can businesses on Oncor's lines in Round Rock and Pflugerville.
It depends on the service address. A business on the lines of Austin Energy, a municipal utility that has not opted into retail competition, buys on its tariffs and cannot shop a retail supplier. A business at an address on Oncor's lines can, and delivery stays with that utility under its PUCT-approved tariff. Check the utility named on your bill, or send the address or a bill for an eligibility check.
On Austin Energy's lines, ask which commercial tariff and demand structure your account is on, since a rate-class change or a demand-management step can lower a bill where a supplier switch cannot. At an address on Oncor's lines, the supply contract can be shopped.
