Texas Electricity Rates By City

Commercial Electricity Rates in the Largest Texas Cities

Businesses located in deregulated regions of Texas can also choose their electricity plan. However, there is an important factor you must consider:

• If your company has an electric bill below $2,500/month and less than five power meters, you can choose an electricity plan just like a residential user.
• If your monthly bill exceeds $2,500, or your company has 5 or more power meters, you can request custom quotes from REPs.

Residential electricity plans have simple TDU charges: a fixed monthly fee and a delivery charge per kilowatt-hour. Commercial TDU charges are more complex, and most of the electricity plans found online only include energy charges. In the following article, you can read more about TDU charges for small businesses in Texas:

Commercial kWh prices in Texas are also below the US average. The US EIA reported an average price of 13.25 cents/kWh nationwide, and 9.42 cents/kWh in Texas (28.9% lower).

The following table summarizes the kWh price ranges you can expect to find when comparing commercial electricity plans in large Texas cities. This table only includes deregulated cities with a population of over 100,000, and the price range is based on a small company using 6,000 kWh per month:

The table above does not list cities with municipal power companies or regulated providers in general, since commercial users cannot choose their electricity plan. This includes San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, Garland, Amarillo and Brownsville.

Lubbock is finalizing its deregulation process and electric choice is expected to become available in 2024. Once this happens, local consumers will be able to choose their electricity provider, and Lubbock Power & Light will become the local TDU.
