Austin commercial electricity at a glance
Austin businesses buy electricity from Austin Energy, which serves Austin as a regulated utility without retail supplier choice. That means there is no supplier contract to shop here, and no broker can change the rate. For market context, the average Texas commercial account paid 8.66¢ per kWh all-in (EIA, 06/2026). A business with locations in deregulated Texas territory can still shop those accounts.
Austin is in Travis County, Central Texas. Austin city proper is served by Austin Energy, the city-owned utility, so Austin businesses buy on Austin Energy's commercial tariffs and cannot shop a retail supplier; Round Rock, Cedar Park and Pflugerville on Oncor lines do have retail choice.
Voltcheckr LLC, PUCT Broker Registration BR260102. A registered independent electricity broker, not an energy supplier. Your contract is with the supplier you choose, and that supplier pays our commission; you pay Voltcheckr nothing.
No. Austin is served by Austin Energy, a regulated utility without retail supplier choice, so there is no supplier contract to shop. Rates are set through the utility's tariffs and the Public Utility Commission of Texas.
Ask Austin Energy 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. A business with other locations in deregulated Texas territory can shop those accounts through Voltcheckr.
Not for Austin accounts on Austin Energy. Voltcheckr LLC is a PUCT-registered electricity broker (BR260102) for the deregulated ERCOT markets, and we help Austin companies with locations elsewhere in Texas.
