Information for Businesses
Choosing a Retail Electric Provider
Shopping for electric service for your business is different from shopping for your residential service. For many businesses, shopping for a Retail Electric Provider is a negotiated purchase process, similar to the purchase of a large quantity of computers or wholesale materials for manufacturing or business operations.
Choosing an Aggregator
You may opt to use an Aggregator, who represents a group of customers, such as an employer, neighborhood association, or religious group, to assist them in purchasing electricity in bulk.
Businesses and other entities may also become an aggregator for their members or employees. View the How to Become an Aggregator brochure for additional information.
Do You Have to Choose?
You can choose a new Retail Electric Provider at any time, or you may choose to stay with your current provider. If you did not choose another provider, your electric service is being provided by the Affiliate Retail Electric Provider. If your business´ electric usage level is above 1 megawatt per month you should look into negotiating with your provider to avoid the default rate for service.
If you do decide to choose a new Retail Electric Provider, you can shop with confidence, since every Retail Electric Provider doing business in Texas has been certified by the Public Utility Commission to ensure quality of service.
