McAllen business electricity questions
What does it cost to use Voltcheckr in McAllen?
No separate fee: suppliers pay us a commission when a contract is signed. It is a per-kWh amount inside the rate the supplier quotes. Voltcheckr LLC is a PUCT-registered broker (BR260102), and the commission is paid by the supplier you choose. You see live supplier rates by ZIP, or send one bill for a quote, and you sign only with the supplier.
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.
Can a business in McAllen choose its electricity provider?
Yes. A commercial account whose service address is delivered by AEP Texas picks its retail electricity supplier and contract term under Texas competition, and delivery stays with AEP Texas under its PUCT-approved tariff whichever supplier it signs with. Eligibility follows the utility named on the bill; an address served by a municipal utility or an electric cooperative that has not opted into retail competition does not shop retail suppliers.
Who delivers electricity to businesses in McAllen?
AEP Texas is the delivery utility for McAllen and stays the same whichever supplier you choose.
How long are commercial electricity contracts in Texas?
You pick the term: suppliers quote fixed-rate contracts in several lengths, index and hybrid structures exist for larger accounts, and your results list each term quoted for your ZIP. A longer term holds the price longer; a shorter one lets you shop again sooner. Start watching your renewal about 18 months before the current contract ends and shop it 6 to 12 months out, since suppliers can price a contract to start months ahead. Voltcheckr's renewal reminder emails start about 90 days out, a backstop before a lapse onto a holdover rate.
