How to Set Up a New Commercial Electricity Meter in Texas in 2026

Opening a new location or moving your business? In Texas’s deregulated market, starting new commercial electricity service requires two steps: (1) a new meter installation by your local TDSP (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP, etc.), and (2) choosing the right Retail Electricity Provider (REP) for competitive rates.We coordinate both so you don’t have to. Enter your details below for a fast new service quote and meter activation timeline.

Fixed-Rate Plans for New Meters

Lock in a stable rate (e.g.,
7-9¢/kWh) for 12-36 months. Ideal for predictable budgeting amid ERCOT volatility.

Flexible Contracts

Rates fluctuate monthly
with market prices. Can be lower (under 8¢/kWh) but risk spikes during summer peaks.

Green Energy Options

Tied to wholesale indices
like ERCOT real-time
prices. Averages 8-
10¢/kWh for high-usage
businesses.

Green Energy Plans

100% renewable at slight
premium (9-11¢/kWh).
Support wind/solar while
saving long-term.

TDSP fees for new meter installation vary by location and load size. We’ll give you clear timelines and costs upfront.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to install a new commercial electricity meter in Texas?

Typical new meter set-up takes 1–5 business days after the TDSP receives a complete application. We can often accelerate this for urgent moves.

Do I need a new meter if I’m moving into an existing space?

Not always — many spaces already have a meter. We check the ESI ID and handle transfer or new install as needed.

What information do I need to start a new commercial electricity account?

New address, expected monthly usage, desired start date, and business details. We handle the rest.

Can I choose my electricity provider before the meter is installed?

Yes — we recommend locking in your REP and rate as soon as you have an address so your first bill is at the best possible rate.

Is there a cost to set-up a new commercial meter?

No, unless an expedited meter set-up is requested. We provide transparent pricing upfront.
