How much can a Dallas-Fort Worth retail facility save on energy?

For a retail site running 100,000-500,000 kWh/month at prevailing ERCOT commercial rates near 8.2¢/kWh, a blended 29% reduction is roughly $28,536 a year. That is an illustrative figure from typical usage, not a quote — the real number comes out of your interval data and your position on Oncor's rate schedules.

Why does the Dallas-Fort Worth market matter for retail operations specifically?

Retail facilities run a high during business hours, lower overnight load of about 100,000-500,000 kWh/month. In ERCOT North load zone, that shape determines your capacity obligation and your exposure to demand charges — both set by behaviour during a small number of peak hours rather than by total consumption. Two retail sites with identical annual usage can pay materially different amounts here purely on load shape.

How do you buy electricity for a retail facility in Dallas-Fort Worth?

Dallas-Fort Worth is Oncor territory inside ERCOT North load zone. Oncor delivers the power and maintains the wires whoever supplies it, so competitive supply carries no reliability consequence — only a lower price.

What rate schedule fits a retail facility on Oncor?

Most retail sites at 100,000-500,000 kWh/month land on Secondary Service Greater Than 10 kW or above, but service voltage and billed demand decide it, not sector. We verify the classification against the bill before recommending anything, because a schedule change costs nothing and sometimes outperforms a supply contract.

Retail Load in Dallas-Fort Worth

Oncor is the wires company for most of North Texas — it reads your meter and delivers the power, while supply comes from whichever retail provider wins your business. The ERCOT North zone is where the state's data center and corporate campus growth has concentrated, and that has a specific consequence for buyers: four-coincident-peak transmission charges are set by your demand during the four summer monthly system peaks, so a single bad afternoon in August can set a cost you carry for the following year. Managing that window is usually worth more here than shaving a tenth of a cent off the energy rate.

Retail is not the dominant sector in this territory, where corporate campuses, data centers, distribution and a deep light-manufacturing base carry most of the commercial load. That is an advantage worth using: a retail load is unfamiliar enough locally that it is routinely priced off generic assumptions rather than off your actual usage. A high during business hours, lower overnight profile at 100,000-500,000 kWh/month is the specific thing we take to market, and the contract structure follows from it: fixed, indexed, or block-and-index, sized to your actual baseload rather than to a nameplate figure.

Rate Schedules

Where Retail Load Sits on Oncor

At 100,000-500,000 kWh/month, most retail sites are demand-metered — which means the schedule, not just the rate, drives the bill.

Commercial rate schedules you will typically see on a Oncor bill
Schedule	Typically covers
Secondary Service Less Than 10 kW	small commercial accounts
Secondary Service Greater Than 10 kW	the bulk of mid-size commercial load
Primary Service	campuses and large single-site facilities
Transmission Service	industrial sites at transmission voltage

Schedule names, demand thresholds and eligibility rules change with each rate case, and the schedule an account was originally placed on is frequently no longer the one that fits it. We verify yours against the actual bill rather than assuming — that check is free, and it is where a meaningful share of the savings on this page comes from.
