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 Magic Valley Electric Cooperative

In 2025 the average commercial price at Magic Valley Electric Cooperative was 7.4% above the residential figure and 29% 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.

How Magic Valley Electric Cooperative’s commercial rates are set

Magic Valley Electric Cooperative is a cooperative, owned by the members it serves. Its board sets its rates, and in some states the state commission reviews them as well. 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 Magic Valley Electric Cooperative

EIA counts 19,346 commercial meters at Magic Valley Electric Cooperative in 2025, and 19,346 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.

EIA records 69 commercial net-metered generating systems at Magic Valley Electric Cooperative in 2025, with 0.78 MW of capacity between them: about 3.6 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 Magic Valley Electric Cooperative serves

EIA records Magic Valley Electric Cooperative serving customers in 6 Texas counties: Brooks, Cameron, Hidalgo, Kenedy, Starr, Willacy. 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.

Other utilities in Texas

The average each billed its commercial customers in 2025. The Texas page has the state’s own figures and every utility with 500 or more commercial customers.

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 Magic Valley Electric Cooperative’s 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.
