Entergy Texas serves Beaumont and the Golden Triangle as a regulated utility outside ERCOT's competitive market, so businesses there buy on Entergy's commercial tariffs and cannot shop a retail supplier. A company with locations on CenterPoint lines in the Houston area can shop those accounts.
There is no supplier contract to shop in the Entergy Texas territory around Vidor and Beaumont. If your company also has locations in deregulated Texas territory, those accounts can be shopped.

A business on these utilities' lines buys on the utility's own tariffs and does not choose a retail supplier; where a guide names a competitive utility serving other addresses in the city, an address on its lines can shop. Each guide explains what that means and what a business can still do.
Businesses in the Entergy Texas territory around Vidor and Beaumont buy electricity from a regulated utility without retail supplier choice, so there is no supplier contract to shop and no broker can change the rate. Vidor and Beaumont (Entergy Texas) are served by municipal or regulated utilities without retail supplier choice. The average Texas commercial account paid 8.47¢ per kWh all-in, supply and delivery together (EIA, 07/2026); supplier quotes may price supply alone, so they are not always directly comparable to that all-in average. A company with locations in deregulated Texas territory can still shop those accounts through Voltcheckr LLC, a PUCT-registered broker (BR260102), with no separate fee; the supplier it signs with pays the commission.

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).
