Energy / Texas
Texas business electricity, compared across every retail provider
Most of Texas lets a business choose who supplies its electricity, and the wires company stays the same either way. What changes is the rate — and the spread between providers on the same day, for the same meter, is wide enough to be worth one bill’s worth of effort. Send it and we run your meter against the retail providers at once.
Why it pays
How choosing a provider in Texas actually works
Same wires, different rate
Your utility (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, or TNMP) still owns the poles, reads the meter, and answers outages. Delivery charges pass through the same no matter who you pick. Only the energy rate and the contract are competitive.
The bill has everything
Your ESI ID, usage history, and current provider are printed on the bill. That is all a retail provider needs to price your meter — no site visit, no meter swap, no interruption.
Holdover rates are the trap
When a contract ends without a new one in place, the meter rolls to month-to-month pricing that is often far above a contracted rate. Tracking the end date is half the job.
Process
One bill, then it’s our work
- 01
Send a recent bill
Attach a photo or PDF to the bill review form, or email it to energy@rts.expert. The bill carries the meter number, usage history, and current supplier.
- 02
Get the comparison
Your meters run against the licensed suppliers we work with, across the available terms, with the contract clauses explained in plain English.
- 03
Sign it or shelve it
If the number wins, the paperwork takes minutes and nothing changes but the rate. If your current rate holds up, we say so and track your renewal instead.
FAQ
Common questions
Can every Texas business choose its provider?
Most can. Businesses in the competitive areas served by Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP Texas, and TNMP can choose. Many electric co-ops and city-owned utilities, such as Austin Energy and CPS Energy, have not opened to choice. Your bill shows which you are on, and if there is nothing to compare we’ll tell you.
Will switching interrupt our power?
No. The switch happens on a scheduled meter read. The same utility delivers the same power over the same lines; only the name on the energy charge changes.
Fixed, variable, or index — which should we pick?
Most small and mid-size businesses want a fixed all-in rate for budget certainty. Larger or flexible loads sometimes do better on index or block-and-index products. We show the options side by side and explain the risk in each.
We have several locations. Can you price them together?
Yes. Every meter goes into one request, and providers often sharpen pricing for the combined volume. One recent bill per location is enough.
Our contract isn’t up for months. Should we wait?
No. Supply contracts can be priced months ahead with a future start date, so your renewal arrives with a signed rate instead of a holdover surprise.
What does the comparison cost?
Nothing. Suppliers pay brokers; the rate you’re quoted is the rate you pay. If the rate on your bill is already competitive, we’ll tell you that and track your renewal date instead.
