Because Corsicana is in the deregulated part of Texas, electricity service is split in two. Oncor is the transmission and distribution utility — it owns the lines, reads your meter, and is who you call during an outage — but it doesn't sell you electricity. That comes from a retail electric provider you choose yourself.
That makes it worth shopping before you turn the lights on. The state's official Power to Choose site lists every provider serving the Oncor grid, so you can compare price, contract length, and plan type for your ZIP code.
