Denton business electricity questions

Can a business in Denton choose its electricity provider?

It depends on the service address. A business on the lines of Denton Municipal Electric, 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. A business on the lines of CoServ, an electric cooperative that has not opted into retail competition, does not shop suppliers either. Check the utility named on your bill, or send the address or a bill for an eligibility check.

What can a Denton business do about its electricity costs?

On Denton Municipal Electric'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.

For a Denton address on Oncor's lines, yes: Voltcheckr LLC, a PUCT-registered electricity broker (BR260102), confirms eligibility from the address or a bill and then shops the supply contract. Not for accounts on Denton Municipal Electric, which have no supplier contract to shop.
