Municipal & Government facilities in the El Paso Region run a varies widely by facility type load of roughly 200,000-800,000 kWh/month on El Paso Electric service. With no supplier to switch to, we work the schedule, the demand component and the bills themselves.
El Paso is the exception to almost everything else written about Texas energy. It is not in ERCOT — it sits on the Western Interconnection — and it is not a retail choice market, so El Paso Electric is both the wires company and the supplier. Statewide advice about ERCOT bidding, load zones and four-coincident-peak charges simply does not apply to an El Paso bill. What applies is rate schedule selection, the demand ratchet, power factor penalties on motor-heavy manufacturing load, and the maquiladora-driven shift patterns that determine when your peak actually lands.
Municipal & Government is not the dominant sector in this territory, where cross-border manufacturing and warehousing, military installations, and regional healthcare carry most of the commercial load. That is an advantage worth using: a municipal & government load is unfamiliar enough locally that it is routinely priced off generic assumptions rather than off your actual usage. A varies widely by facility type profile at 200,000-800,000 kWh/month is the specific thing we take to market, and with supply fixed by El Paso Electric, the work concentrates on the demand component, the rate schedule and recovering billing errors — which on a load this size is not a rounding error.
At 200,000-800,000 kWh/month, most municipal & government sites are demand-metered — which means the schedule, not just the rate, drives the bill.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| Small General Service | commercial accounts below the demand threshold |
| General Service | demand-metered commercial accounts |
| Large Power Service | industrial and large campus load |
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.
