Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Electricity Brokerage
Get answers to common questions about our services
What does a commercial electricity service do?
A commercial electricity service compares rates from multiple providers in the Texas ERCOT market and negotiates contract terms for businesses. The service analyzes business usage patterns to identify the lowest available rates and handles all provider coordination at no cost to the business.
- Compare rates from an extensive network of electricity providers based on business usage history
- Negotiate contract terms including pricing, length, and renewal conditions
- Handle enrollment paperwork and coordinate with current and new providers
- Monitor contract expiration dates to prevent automatic renewals at higher rates
How do quotes work in Texas?
Texas electricity quotes display the per-kilowatt-hour rate businesses pay for energy in the ERCOT deregulated market. Brokers request quotes from multiple providers based on usage history, business type, and contract preferences. Businesses receive several options to compare, typically with contract terms ranging from 12 to 36 months.
- Per-kWh energy rate (the main cost variable that brokers negotiate)
- Contract term length options (12, 24, or 36 months most common)
- Rate structure type (fixed rate vs. variable rate based on market conditions)
- Additional fees including TDU charges, base charges, and demand charges
What's the difference between fixed and variable electricity rates?
Fixed rates lock in your per-kWh price for the contract term, protecting you from market fluctuations. Variable rates change monthly based on wholesale electricity costs in the ERCOT market.
Most Texas businesses prefer fixed rates for budget predictability, especially for contracts longer than 12 months.
What contract terms are available for commercial electricity in Texas?
Texas commercial electricity contracts typically range from 12 to 36 months. Shorter terms offer flexibility to renegotiate sooner if market rates drop.
Longer terms provide extended rate stability and protection from price increases. Our professionals can recommend the optimal term based on current market conditions.
What fees show up on commercial electricity bills in Texas?
Texas commercial electricity bills include the energy charge (per-kWh rate), transmission and distribution utility charges for power line maintenance, and ERCOT fees for grid management. Some contracts include base charges or demand charges for peak usage. TDU charges remain the same regardless of which retail electricity provider the business selects.
- Energy charge: Per-kWh rate negotiated with the retail electricity provider
- TDU charges: Fixed fees for transmission and distribution infrastructure (same across all providers)
- ERCOT fees: Grid management and administrative charges set by the grid operator
- Base charges: Monthly fixed fees (if included in contract terms)
- Demand charges: Fees based on peak usage periods (common for large commercial accounts)
How long does it take to switch commercial electricity providers in Texas?
Switching commercial electricity providers in Texas typically takes 1 to 2 billing cycles after contract approval. We submit enrollment paperwork to your new provider, who coordinates with your current provider and the local utility.
There's no service interruption during the switch. Your meter continues recording usage without any physical changes or technician visits required.
What if I'm currently under contract with an electricity provider?
If you're under contract, you can switch at the end of your term without penalty by notifying your provider 30-60 days before expiration. Breaking a contract early usually incurs early termination fees.
Our professionals monitor your contract end date and start the renewal process 90 days in advance to secure better rates before auto-renewal.
Do you help businesses with multiple locations in Texas?
Yes, we manage electricity procurement for businesses with multiple locations across Texas. We aggregate your total usage across all sites to negotiate volume discounts.
Multi-location businesses often save more because we leverage higher combined usage to secure better per-kWh rates from providers competing for larger accounts.
