  • For business owners in Texas, shopping for commercial power options can be a chore. ElectricityPlans makes it easy to compare business electricity rates. You can shop multiple suppliers in one place, review plans and sign up online. You can even shop up to six months ahead of your expiration date.

    Of course, you want to find the cheapest electricity rates, so you can have more profit on your bottom line. That’s why we’ve collected the cheapest commercial rates for small and medium business, with rates updated daily.

    What is the Cheapest Business Electricity Rate in Texas?

    As of January 2026 the cheapest commercial electricity rates in Texas are short term power contracts with a 6-month term. These plans are cheap because they just cover January to June, and exclude expensive summer months.

    🔌Pro Tip: Indications are that Texas electricity rates will continue to rise due to increasing demand. An 18-month contract will give you an excellent value while also providing that hedge against inflation that we’re all looking for. That’s our top recommendation for your business electricity this month.
