Austin Power Desk is an independent electricity brokerage built for large loads. We structure competitive supply, manage risk, and deliver institutional-grade procurement across ERCOT — including readiness for expanded choice in Austin and San Antonio.
Straightforward process designed for sophisticated buyers who need more than a rate sheet.
We analyze your usage profile, demand characteristics, current contracts, and risk tolerance. No generic templates.
We run structured RFPs or reverse auctions across vetted REPs and suppliers matched to your load shape and goals.
Fixed, block+index, hybrids, or more complex structures. We explain trade-offs clearly so you control the decision.
You sign the contracts. We support onboarding, track market conditions, and stay engaged through renewal windows.
Most brokers optimize for small commercial. We are built for industrial, multi-site, and complex load profiles.

We understand demand charges, load factor, aggregation, and the operational realities of multi-location portfolios.
