Dallas runs on more than banking and tech — and the price your business pays for power is negotiable. In the Oncor delivery territory, every commercial account in the ERCOT deregulated market can choose its own electricity supplier. Elite Energy Consultants shops your usage across 25+ licensed Texas retail electric providers (REPs) and builds a commercial electricity plan around your load, your budget, and your growth — at no cost to you.
Upload your billDallas businesses on the Oncor grid can choose between three commercial electricity rate structures. The right one depends on your load profile, your appetite for contract length, and how much exposure you want to ERCOT's North zone price swings — which spike hardest during North Texas's triple-digit summer afternoons. We model all three against your actual usage before you sign.
Index electricity plans tie your generation rate directly to the wholesale ERCOT market — typically referenced against day-ahead or real-time hourly settlement prices. Your monthly bill moves with the market: when wholesale electricity is cheap, your business captures the upside immediately; when ERCOT prices spike during peak demand events or grid stress, your costs follow. There are no fixed-rate premiums baked in, which is why index pricing often delivers the lowest long-run average cost — but only for businesses prepared to ride out short-term volatility. We pair every index contract with usage analysis and price-trigger guidance so you know exactly when to shift load or layer in protection.
A fixed-rate commercial electricity contract locks in your generation price per kilowatt-hour for the entire term — typically 12, 24, or 36 months. Your monthly bill still reflects how much electricity you actually use, but the rate itself stays constant regardless of what happens in ERCOT, the weather, or natural gas markets. For most Texas businesses this is the simplest and safest path: predictable budgeting, no surprises during peak summer load events, and clean line-item accounting. The trade-off is that fixed rates carry a small premium over the prevailing index, because the supplier is taking on the market risk on your behalf. We negotiate term length, contract clauses, and renewal windows to make sure you're locking in at the right time — not just any time.
Hybrid commercial electricity contracts blend fixed and indexed pricing under a single agreement, letting you lock in a portion of your expected load at a fixed rate while floating the remainder against the wholesale market. You get price certainty on your baseline consumption — protecting against worst-case scenarios — while still capturing market upside on the variable portion. Hybrid structures are typically configured as 50/50, 70/30, or custom splits, and many include the option to convert floating volume to fixed mid-term if the market moves in your favor. This is the approach used by sophisticated commercial buyers and energy managers who want to actively manage cost risk rather than commit fully to one strategy. We model your historical load curve, recommend the right split, and handle the ongoing strategy as conditions change.

Answers to the questions Dallas businesses ask most about commercial electricity rates, the Oncor territory, and switching suppliers.
Oncor Electric Delivery is the Transmission & Distribution Utility (TDU) that delivers electricity across Dallas and most of North Texas — the poles, wires, meters, and outage response. Oncor is the largest delivery utility in Texas, serving more than 4 million homes and businesses across roughly a third of the state. In the ERCOT deregulated market you can't choose your TDU, but you can choose any retail electric provider that serves the Oncor territory. Oncor doesn't set your rate or manage your contract — your REP does.
North Texas summers — roughly June through September — drive heavy air-conditioning load during long stretches of triple-digit heat, and that’s when ERCOT prices spike and demand charges climb. For larger commercial accounts, a handful of summer peak intervals (ERCOT’s "4CP") can also set your transmission cost allocation for the entire following year. Managing when and how hard you draw power in those windows is one of the biggest levers on a Dallas commercial bill, which is why we factor seasonality into every plan we build.
There’s no single published commercial rate the way there is for residential plans. Commercial electricity in Dallas is priced to your specific load — your kWh usage, peak demand in kW, load factor, operating hours, contract length, and the Oncor delivery charges that pass through your bill. Two businesses on the same block can get very different rates. The only way to know your number is to have us run your actual usage across 25+ REPs, which is exactly what a quote does.
Yes. Switching only changes the retail provider you buy power from — Oncor keeps physically delivering your electricity the entire time, so there’s no outage and no on-site work. If you’re under contract, Texas suppliers offer future-dated agreements that start the day after your current term ends, with no early-termination penalty.
Yes — we cover the full Oncor Electric Delivery service territory across Dallas, Tarrant, Collin, and Denton counties and the surrounding North Texas region, plus the broader ERCOT market beyond it.
