Average use and average bill are the utility’s commercial sales and revenue divided by its commercial customers and by twelve. The bill is an all-in figure: energy, delivery, demand and fixed charges together. A few very large customers pull both averages up, so most businesses use and pay less than the average.
Residential, commercial and industrial prices at Bryan Texas Utilities
In 2025 the average commercial price at Bryan Texas Utilities was 27% below the residential figure and 3.9% above the industrial one. Larger customers take power at a higher voltage and use it more steadily, so at most utilities the average falls from residential to commercial to industrial. Which class an account falls in is the utility’s decision, and the line between commercial and industrial is drawn differently from one utility to the next.
| Customer class | Customers | Sales (MWh) | Average price per kWh | Average use a month | Average bill a month |

How Bryan Texas Utilities’ commercial rates are set
Bryan Texas Utilities is owned by the community it serves. Its rates are set locally, by the city council or a utility board, and in most states the state commission does not set them. A commercial account is billed on a rate schedule, chosen by the size of the account and the voltage it takes power at, and a schedule usually combines a fixed monthly charge, a charge per kWh and, above a certain size, a demand charge on the highest rate of draw in the month. The schedule code is printed on the bill. What a business in Texas can and cannot choose is on the Texas page.
Meters, time-varying rates and net metering at Bryan Texas Utilities
EIA counts 10,124 commercial meters at Bryan Texas Utilities in 2025, and 10,124 of them (100%) are advanced meters (AMI), which record use at least hourly and report it to the utility at least daily. An advanced meter is what makes interval data possible, and interval data is what shows when a building’s peak demand happens.
At Bryan Texas Utilities, 27 commercial customers were on a time-varying rate in 2025, about 0.3% of its commercial customers. A time-varying rate charges more in some hours than in others, so when a business uses power matters as well as how much. The kinds Bryan Texas Utilities reports offering commercial customers are time-of-use pricing.
EIA records 21 commercial net-metered generating systems at Bryan Texas Utilities in 2025, with 0.42 MW of capacity between them: about 2.1 for every 1,000 commercial customers. Net metering credits a customer for power its own system sends to the grid; the terms are in the utility’s tariff.
Where Bryan Texas Utilities serves
EIA records Bryan Texas Utilities serving customers in 3 Texas counties: Brazos, Burleson, Robertson. A county can be shared between utilities, so this does not tell you who serves a given address. The utility that serves an address is the one named on its bill.
EIA lists ERCOT as its balancing authority. ERCOT is one of the organised wholesale markets, which run the grid and the wholesale power market across their area.

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- They are averages over every commercial customer. A utility whose commercial customers are mostly large averages fewer cents per kWh than one serving mostly small shops, so a lower figure can mean larger customers and not a lower rate.
- They are not a rate schedule. None of these figures is a charge printed in Bryan Texas Utilities’ tariff, and nothing here works out a bill from one. The tariff index lists the utilities whose filed schedules are quoted on this site.
- They are annual and final. EIA publishes utility figures once a year. The Texas page carries the state’s trailing 12 months, which is more recent and still preliminary.
For one building, the cost estimator gives a range by building type, size and state, and price by utility sets every utility side by side. Commercial vs residential vs industrial compares the classes in every state.

- Is this the rate my business will pay Bryan Texas Utilities?
- No. It is an average over every commercial customer, from a corner shop to a campus. What one business pays depends on its rate schedule, how much it uses and how hard it draws at its peak. The schedule code is printed on the bill, and the schedule itself is in Bryan Texas Utilities’ tariff.
A utility average cannot tell you whether your bill is right. The bill itself can, and it takes three numbers. Nobody calls unless you ask.
