Lobby lighting, elevators, shared HVAC, parking garages — common-area electricity erodes your NOI. We aggregate meters across your portfolio and source the lowest rate per property.
Get Free QuoteTexas commercial real estate owners and property managers are often responsible for some of the largest electricity accounts in their portfolio: common area lighting in lobbies and corridors, elevator systems that operate continuously, shared HVAC for multi-tenant floors, parking garage lighting, exterior and security lighting, and in multi-family properties, shared laundry and amenity facilities. These loads add up to a substantial monthly electricity spend that directly affects net operating income. In Texas's deregulated electricity market, all of these accounts can be moved to competitively priced retail electricity providers without interrupting building operations. Elite Energy Consultants analyzes each meter's consumption profile, aggregates load across your entire portfolio, and sources the electricity plan that delivers the lowest total cost — improving your bottom line without impacting tenant experience.
We aggregate all common area meters across your entire Texas property portfolio into a single electricity procurement strategy — achieving supplier pricing based on combined load rather than meter-by-meter negotiations.
We analyze each common area meter's load profile — lobbies, parking, elevators, shared HVAC — and identify the rate structure that minimizes electricity costs on the accounts you control, improving NOI on every property.
We advise on sub-metering and master metering strategies that give property managers greater flexibility in cost allocation and create opportunities to procure electricity at volume pricing rather than individual tenant-rate pricing.

Common questions from Texas commercial real estate owners, property managers, and asset managers about commercial electricity rates.
Property managers control the electricity accounts for common areas — lobbies, corridors, parking garages, elevators, shared HVAC systems, and exterior lighting. In Texas's deregulated market, these accounts can be moved to competitively priced retail electricity providers at any time. We analyze each meter's load profile, aggregate the combined consumption across all common area accounts, and source a rate that reflects your total building footprint rather than each meter in isolation. The savings flow directly to NOI.
Most office building owners and property managers prefer fixed-rate electricity contracts for common area accounts because operating expense predictability is critical for accurate CAM reconciliations and tenant relations. A fixed rate eliminates price volatility risk for the term of the contract. Indexed rates can offer savings in favorable market conditions, but the exposure to summer wholesale price spikes — when Texas buildings are consuming at peak — makes them higher risk for properties with tenants expecting stable pass-through costs.
Yes. Property management companies with multiple buildings or a portfolio of commercial assets across Texas can aggregate all common area meters into a single master electricity agreement. The combined load volume gives suppliers a larger block to price competitively, resulting in lower per-kWh rates across every property in the portfolio. We also structure contract terms to align all expiration dates, simplifying the annual renewal management process.
In Texas commercial leases, the electricity responsibility depends on the lease structure. In gross leases, the landlord typically pays electricity and recovers costs through rent or CAM charges. In NNN leases, tenants often hold their own electricity accounts directly. For multi-tenant buildings with master-metered common areas, the landlord controls and pays the common area electricity account. We work with both landlords and tenants to optimize whichever accounts they control, and we can advise on sub-metering strategies that give landlords more flexibility in cost allocation.
