Fort Worth runs on logistics, aerospace, energy, and a fast-growing downtown — 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, so electricity rates in Fort Worth depend on which provider you choose and when you sign. 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 billSearch for electric companies in Fort Worth and two kinds of company come back. Oncor is the utility: it owns the poles, wires and meters, answers outage calls, and bills a regulated delivery charge that every business in its territory pays. You can't shop that part. The retail electric provider (REP) sells you the electricity itself, and that is the company you choose.
Many REPs certified by the Public Utility Commission of Texas serve the Oncor territory, and they price the same power differently: fixed or index, contract length, and how your usage pattern is priced. Commercial offers aren't posted like home plans, because each REP prices a business account to its own usage. Elite Energy Consultants gets offers from 25+ of them for your Fort Worth business and lays them out side by side.
So who is “the electric company” in Fort Worth? Oncor delivers the power, but it isn’t a retailer and doesn’t sell electricity to customers directly: it invoices your REP for delivery, and your REP’s bill includes that cost. The power company a Fort Worth business actually picks, signs with, and pays is the REP, and Oncor keeps running the lines to your meter whichever one you choose. Oncor also delivers in Dallas, Arlington, and the other DFW cities listed further down this page, so sites on both sides of the Metroplex sit in the same delivery territory and can be shopped together.
Fort Worth 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.
Your rate tracks the wholesale ERCOT market, so the bill falls when power is cheap and rises when prices spike — often the lowest long-run average cost for buyers who can ride out the swings. We pair every index contract with usage analysis and price-trigger guidance.
Your price per kWh is locked for the full 12-, 24-, or 36-month term regardless of ERCOT, weather, or gas markets — the simplest, most predictable path for most Texas businesses, at a small premium for that certainty. We negotiate term length, clauses, and renewal timing so you lock in at the right moment.
Lock a portion of your load at a fixed rate and float the rest against the wholesale market — a 50/50, 70/30, or custom split that protects your baseline while capturing upside, often with the option to convert to fixed mid-term. We model your load curve, recommend the split, and manage it as conditions change.

If your Fort Worth facility burns natural gas — an office building, hotel, restaurant, hospital, or manufacturing plant — Atmos Energy is the local gas utility (Mid-Tex division) that delivers and bills the regulated delivery charge to your meter. You don’t switch the pipe; Atmos always moves the gas and maintains the lines.
For mid-size and larger commercial and industrial accounts, the gas supply itself can be sourced competitively through Atmos Energy’s commercial transportation tariff — on a fixed price or indexed to a Texas market hub such as Waha. Elite arranges and manages that supply alongside your electricity, so a single team handles both. Learn more about commercial natural gas in Texas and current commercial natural gas rates.

Answers to the questions Fort Worth businesses ask most about commercial electricity rates, the Oncor territory, and switching suppliers.
It depends which company you mean. Oncor Electric Delivery is the Transmission & Distribution Utility (TDU) for Fort Worth — the poles, wires, meters, and outage response. Oncor operates the largest transmission and distribution system in Texas, delivering to more than 4.1 million homes and businesses, but it isn’t a retailer and doesn’t sell electricity to customers directly. The company your business buys power from is a retail electric provider (REP): it sets your price, holds your contract, and sends your bill, and Oncor’s delivery cost is included in that bill. You can’t choose Oncor, but you can choose the REP, and that choice decides what you pay for the electricity itself.
Yes, if Oncor delivers to your building. Fort Worth sits in the ERCOT region, and the Public Utility Commission of Texas says that if you’re in ERCOT and aren’t served by an electric cooperative or a city-owned utility, you have the power to choose your electric provider. Power to Choose, the PUCT’s official shopping site, lists retail plans on Oncor’s system for Fort Worth ZIP codes. A business with several Fort Worth or Tarrant County locations can put every meter out to bid at once. Elite Energy Consultants compares offers from 25+ REPs across the full Oncor territory, at no cost to you.
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. Larger sites also lock in a year of transmission cost in those months. Under Oncor’s delivery tariff, a site that has reached 700 kW of demand in any billing month pays Oncor’s transmission charge on its "4CP" demand: its average draw during ERCOT’s single highest 15-minute interval in each of June, July, August, and September. That figure then stays fixed for the whole next calendar year, so a few summer afternoons can shape a Fort Worth warehouse or plant’s delivery costs for twelve months. Managing when and how hard you draw power in those windows is one of the biggest levers on a Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth 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.
No single energy company is cheapest for every Fort Worth business. REPs price each commercial account to its own usage — how many kWh you use and when, your peak demand, your contract length, and your start date — so the REP with the lowest offer for a 24/7 cold-storage warehouse may not be the lowest for an office that closes at six. Home plans advertised online won’t tell you what your business will pay. The way to find cheap electricity for your account is to put the same usage in front of many REPs and compare their offers side by side, which is what our quote does: upload a bill and we shop 25+ REPs for you.
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, for qualifying commercial and industrial volumes. Atmos Energy delivers the gas to your meter, and Elite can source your supply competitively through Atmos’s commercial transportation tariff — fixed or indexed to a Texas market hub. See our commercial natural gas page for details.
