Houston runs on power — and the price your business pays for it is negotiable. In the CenterPoint Energy 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 billHouston businesses on the CenterPoint 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 Gulf Coast price swings — which spike hardest during Houston's long, humid summers. 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.

Answers to the questions Houston businesses ask most about commercial electricity rates, the CenterPoint Energy territory, and switching suppliers.
CenterPoint Energy is the Transmission & Distribution Utility (TDU) that delivers electricity across the greater Houston area — the poles, wires, meters, and outage response. CenterPoint serves more than 2.8 million meters and is the second-largest delivery utility in Texas after Oncor. In the ERCOT deregulated market you can't choose your TDU, but you can choose any retail electric provider that serves the CenterPoint territory. CenterPoint doesn't set your rate or manage your contract — your REP does.
Houston’s hot, humid Gulf Coast summers — roughly June through September — drive heavy air-conditioning load, 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 Houston 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 Houston is priced to your specific load — your kWh usage, peak demand in kW, load factor, operating hours, contract length, and the CenterPoint 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 — CenterPoint 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 CenterPoint Energy service territory across Harris County and the surrounding Gulf Coast, plus the broader ERCOT market beyond it. We’re headquartered in Houston, so local accounts get a broker that knows the territory firsthand.
