Electricity: You Choose Your Provider, Two Wire Companies
Edgewood is deregulated, with an unusual wrinkle: the 75117 ZIP straddles the boundary between Oncor and Texas-New Mexico Power, so Power to Choose lists more than 300 plans across the two delivery utilities. Whichever TDU owns the lines at your address is fixed — you can't pick that — but you choose the retail provider that sells you the electricity, and it's worth comparing rates and contract terms before move-in. Your TDU is also your outage number, so note which one is on your meter.
