    Regulated tariff

El Paso businesses buy electricity from El Paso Electric, which serves El Paso 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 8.47¢ per kWh all-in (EIA, 07/2026). A business with locations in deregulated Texas territory can still shop those accounts.

El Paso is in El Paso County, West Texas.

El Paso business electricity questions

Can a business in El Paso choose its electricity provider?

No. El Paso is served by El Paso Electric, a regulated utility without retail supplier choice, so there is no supplier contract to shop. Rates are set through the utility's own tariff process, not by a retail supplier's contract.

What can an El Paso business do about its electricity costs?

Ask El Paso Electric 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.

Does Voltcheckr broker electricity in El Paso?

Not for El Paso accounts on El Paso Electric. Voltcheckr LLC is a PUCT-registered electricity broker (BR260102) for the deregulated ERCOT markets, and we help El Paso companies with locations elsewhere in Texas.
