Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
EPE C&I rates are classic regulated demand-plus-energy tariffs. Demand charges dominate for high-peak customers, and a summer (Jun-Sep) demand ratchet (60% of prior summer peak under Schedule 24) makes peak-shaving valuable year-round. Customers above 300 kW face mandatory Time-of-Day pricing with a high summer on-peak energy rate.
El Paso Electric Company Rate Schedule List
| Schedule | Applicability |
|---|---|
| Schedule No. 24 — General Service | C&I demand 15-600 kW |
| Schedule No. 25 — Large Power Service | C&I demand >600 kW |
| Schedule No. 25A — Large Power Experimental Off-Peak | Low-load-factor large power option |
El Paso Electric Company Rate Features & TOU Details
- Demand charges differentiated by delivery voltage (secondary/primary/transmission)
- Summer demand ratchet (60% of prior Jun-Sep peak)
- Mandatory Alternative TOD for new loads over 300 kW
- Power factor adjustment for demands ≥250 kW below 90% lagging

Limitations & Considerations
- ⚠Schedule 24 dollar figures cited here are from the tariff sheet effective November 3, 2021 and predate the May 2026 rate changes from the February 2026 PUCT order; confirm current amounts against the latest filed sheets.
- ⚠Specific current dollar amounts for Schedule 25 / 25A (Large Power) were not extracted from a verified live sheet and are described qualitatively; see the filed tariff PDFs.
- ⚠EPE does not offer an EDI program for customer data; Green Button/UtilityAPI is the programmatic path.
- ⚠AMI deployment continued through 2025, so a small number of meters may not yet provide 15-minute interval data.
El Paso Electric Company Data Access FAQ
Can El Paso Electric C&I customers shop for a competitive electricity supplier?▾
No. EPE operates outside ERCOT in the Western Interconnection, and its Texas service area is not open to retail electric provider competition. C&I customers take bundled, PUCT-regulated service under EPE's filed tariff schedules.
Which rate schedule applies to my commercial or industrial facility?▾
Most C&I customers with demand between 15 kW and 600 kW take Schedule No. 24 (General Service). Loads over 600 kW move to Schedule No. 25 (Large Power). New loads over 300 kW must take the Alternative Time-of-Day option under Schedule 24.
How can a third-party consultant access our interval and billing data?▾
EPE is Green Button Alliance certified and supports Connect My Data through UtilityAPI. Consultants register at the EPE Green Button portal, test in sandbox, then send customers OAuth authorization links to pull 15-minute interval, bill, and meter data via the UtilityAPI JSON API (Utility ID EPE).
What is the best way to manage demand charges on EPE C&I rates?▾
Focus on the summer peak. Schedule 24 sets billing demand at the highest of 15 kW, your measured peak, or 60% of the prior June-September peak, so shaving the summer peak lowers demand charges for the following 12 months. Customers on TOD should also shift load off the noon-6pm summer on-peak window.
Did EPE rates change in 2026?▾
Yes. The PUCT approved an EPE base-rate increase on February 20, 2026 — about 14% for the average Texas residential customer, less than the 23% requested — with new rates effective May 2026. C&I schedule amounts were adjusted accordingly, so confirm current figures against the latest filed tariff sheets.
