Richardson is the heart of North Texas’s Telecom Corridor — a dense cluster of corporate campuses, tech offices, and data centers along the US-75 and President George Bush Turnpike spine — 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.

Richardson anchors the North Texas Telecom Corridor, and its load profile is unusual for a commercial market: data centers and 24/7 corporate campuses run a high, flat load with strong load factor, which changes which rate structure wins. Steady round-the-clock draw often makes an index or hybrid plan cheaper than a flat fixed rate — the opposite of a nine-to-five office — so the shopping strategy for a Richardson data center looks nothing like one for a strip-mall tenant.
Major Dallas County employers we shop the market for: AT&T, Texas Instruments, Cisco, State Farm (CityLine), Fossil Group, UT Dallas — plus the telecom and technology, data centers, multi-tenant office towers, and university research that define the local commercial base.
Richardson 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, exactly when the corridor’s offices and data centers run their heaviest cooling load. 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 you’ve searched for an energy broker near me, a commercial electricity broker near me, or business electricity rates near me, you’ve found a Texas broker that knows your market. Elite Energy Consultants serves businesses across the entire Oncor service territory — Richardson, Plano, Dallas, Murphy, Sachse, and the surrounding Collin and Dallas County communities. We run procurement throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth commercial electricity market.
We know the Oncor territory, the local TDU delivery charges, and how North Texas’s summer peak demand shows up on a commercial bill — including the around-the-clock load profile of a data center or telecom campus. Wherever your meters are in the Richardson area, we can shop the market for you.
If your Richardson facility burns natural gas — an office campus, restaurant, hotel, or light-industrial 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 Richardson 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 Richardson 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 Richardson commercial bill — especially for the corridor’s data centers and 24/7 tech campuses — 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 Richardson 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. A high-load-factor data center and a single-shift office 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 the Dallas and Collin county line and the surrounding North Texas region, plus the broader ERCOT market beyond it. You get a Texas broker that knows the Oncor territory and how its delivery charges and peak-demand seasonality hit a commercial bill.
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.
