Commercial electricity, gas, solar and EV charging

Record an energy requirement for a commercial site (a supply contract, on-site solar or EV charging) with the load, utility territory and term.

What it is for

A business site pays for energy through a utility tariff or a supply contract and may want to change that: a fixed-price electricity or gas contract at renewal, on-site solar to cut daytime cost, or chargers for a fleet or customers. What is available depends on annual usage, peak demand, utility territory and the term the business will commit to. This records those facts so that which sites and loads find no offer, and what they would pay, can be studied.

Facility and operations managers, finance staff renewing an energy contract, fleet managers electrifying vehicles, property owners adding chargers or solar, and agents acting for them.

What happens to a request

The site and its requirement are recorded as given. No supplier, installer or broker is contacted, no contract is offered or arranged, and nothing is priced. Some states, Texas among them, register or license energy brokers, and no such registration is held here. If you leave a contact, a reply may come with public information you can act on yourself; it is not promised. Contact details are stored apart from the requirement and deleted after 180 days.

What you get

A receipt with the request's identifier, the fields we could not match (a supplier, a rate, an installed cost or an incentive amount is never supplied here), and a plain statement that no one is introduced and what may follow.

Scope and limits

United States; other markets are recorded as stated.

Regulated activity: Arranging retail electricity supply for a fee is a registered activity in Texas (Utilities Code 39.3555), and other states have their own rules. No such registration is held here. Not done here: introducing a supplier or arranging a contract.
