Socorro business electricity questions

Can a business in Socorro choose its electricity provider?

No. Socorro 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 a Socorro 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 Socorro?
