Stewardship in Action: Save 15–30% on Texas Commercial Electricity
We Partner with Leading Texas Electric Providers to Secure You the Best Energy Rates
The Hidden Cost of Keeping the Lights On in Texas Churches
In Texas's extreme heat, Church bills often jump 40-60% during summer as HVAC systems strain to cool large sanctuaries, fellowship halls, and classrooms. Many older church buildings lack efficient insulation or modern systems, leading to wasteful energy use even when spaces are unoccupied during the week.
Unlike steady commercial usage, churches face high demand fees from weekend services, events, and midweek gatherings. These charges can account for 30-50% of the bill, punishing instantaneous peaks from lights, sound systems, and AC — draining ministry budgets unnecessarily.
Relying on tithes, offerings, and donations, Churches have tight finances. High utility costs divert funds from essential ministries like youth programs, outreach, benevolence, missions, and community services. In ERCOT's volatile market, unpredictable bills make budgeting for God's work even harder.
Every dollar overpaid on electricity means less for spreading the Gospel, helping the needy, or maintaining facilities. Many Texas Churches unknowingly overpay 20-40% due to outdated contracts, missing out on deregulated market savings that could fuel life-changing impact.

In-Depth Case Studies
Through a competitive energy auction, 8 providers vied for the Church's business, ultimately securing a new fixed rate of 6.1 cents/kWh—a drop from 7.9 cents/kWh—resulting in a 22.8% reduction in electricity costs. For their annual usage of approximately 600,000 kWh, this delivers roughly $10,000 in yearly savings, while the 48-month rate lock ensures budget stability and protection against future market spikes. These meaningful savings are now being reinvested directly into the church's outreach efforts, powering an expanded food pantry program and enriching youth summer camps for the community.
When a Bible Church in Dallas, Texas, leased a new parsonage, they needed to transfer utility service into the Church's name while maintaining their non-profit status. We handled the paperwork to set up the meter correctly and secured a commercial electricity rate—nearly 30% lower than a residential rate in Texas's deregulated market. This delivered hundreds in savings on utility costs, allowing the church to redirect funds toward their food pantry outreach and youth programs.
