Did you know there are more suppliers in Texas than anywhere else in the US due to the deregulated energy market? Also called energy providers, they’re responsible for either generating or purchasing electricity before selling it to you. Here are some of the most popular ones.
➤ Constellation – National supplier of both electric energy and natural gas.
➤ Direct Energy – Headquartered in Houston, TX, they supply electric power and natural gas to 4 million customers throughout the U.S.

Hunting for the best electricity plan and rate
If you’re trying to compare electricity rates in Texas to find the most affordable one to power your business, we’ve got you covered. Today, the average price of commercial electricity in the Lone Star state is 8.38 cents/kWh. That means the Texas kWh cost is 26% lower than average across the nation. Commercial energy rates change minute to minute, so let’s walk through the different plans available and find the one that’s right for you.
The lowdown on Lone Star business electricity rates
➤ Small Vs. Big Business: The Small Business Administration (SBA) defines businesses in Texas with less than 500 employees as “small,” whether they have 1 or 499 people on staff. (There is some debate among Texas residents if more than 100 employees is more of a medium business.).
➤ Industry Defines Your Rate: Whichever category your small business falls into defines the commercial rate of electricity you receive. For example, a retail shop pays a different rate than an account office, a transportation company or an industrial small business.
Commercial electrical rates are made up of 3 costs:
➤ Wholesale: This cost incorporates electricity production (running the power plant), transporting the electricity, and repairing and maintaining and repairing that equipment.
➤ Supply: This is the charge you see on your electric bill as your usage in kilowatt-hour(kWh). It covers the costs of creating and moving electricity.
➤ Delivery: This relates to the customer service and local distribution of commercial electricity.
Protip:
As you can see, the way an electricity company calculates your total amount due below these line items is complex. Since you already have a full-time job, understanding the ins and outs of the energy market is ours.
Commercial electrical plans are not one-size-fits-all
➤ Fixed Rate Plans: Fixed electric rates are locked in through a contract, keeping your rate consistent regardless of the current electric rate. While wholesale Texas electricity costs vary, these plans help keep your budget predictable and affordable, giving you the energy security you need.
➤ Variable-Rate Plans: These rates are determined by the current state of the energy market. You get a cheaper rate when energy is abundant but pay higher rates in times of peak demand or low production. These plans offer the flexibility of no contract but are high in risk.
➤ Pre-Paid Plans: Using a smart meter, the customer pays in advance. Then the provider adjusts the account as energy is used. When the balance runs low, the consumer adds additional funds to an online account and no contract is required.
Protip:
We can help you avoid nasty cancellation fees, rate hikes, minimum usage fees, peak energy use times, basically being overcharged for the cost of doing business. We consider all of these factors and more to help you find the best commercial energy rate in the state.
Abundance of Texas sun and wind
➤ Green Energy Plans: With a consistent western wind and long sunny days, this great state has one of the most abundant supplies of renewable resources in the United States. In fact, Texas produces more wind power than any other U.S. State and is only 5th in solar production! This makes opting for local green energy an excellent way to go.
Protip:
Integrity Energy can match you with competitive renewable energy plans so you can power your business, help the environment, and support eco-friendly electric initiatives at the same time.
