Typical commercial energy contracts range from 12 to 36 months, though shorter or longer options are sometimes available. EnergyBrokerTx helps you choose a term that balances price protection with flexibility, based on your business’s energy usage and forecasted market conditions.
Yes. Many clients begin renewal discussions 90 to 120 days before expiration to secure new rates ahead of market changes. EnergyBrokerTx monitors market conditions and provides renewal alerts so your business can act at the most cost-effective time.
Early termination fees depend on supplier policies and how much time remains in your contract. We’ll review all cancellation provisions with you upfront to ensure you're aware of any potential penalties or options for re-contracting.
For fixed-rate plans, your rate per kilowatt-hour remains constant for the entire term. However, variable or indexed contracts may fluctuate with market conditions or wholesale prices. EnergyBrokerTx clearly outlines rate structures so there are no surprises in billing.
All energy contracts include standard state and local taxes, which are added to your monthly utility billing. Certain energy plans may include TDSP charges (Transmission and Distribution Service Provider) fees—these are itemized by the provider but not charged by EnergyBrokerTx.
Suppliers are required to provide electricity that meets minimum standards for voltage, frequency, and reliability, as regulated by ERCOT and the Public Utility Commission of Texas. Performance issues are rare, but if they occur, EnergyBrokerTx will assist in coordinating with your provider to resolve them promptly.
